With 46 fresh names added, the cherry count on this birthday cake has officially gone off the rails.</p><p><strong>THURSDAY 14 AUGUST</strong><br>What once kicked off as a student-style party for the early birds has grown into a full-blown festival night - and an epic bonus for anyone with a Friday or combi ticket in their inbox.<br><br>Brace yourselves because Thursday kicks off hard.&nbsp;<strong>Roxy Dekker</strong>, the reigning queen of TikTok, is just 20, already has five #1 hits in the Netherlands, and her debut album came crashing in at #1 both there and here.&nbsp;<strong>Eefje de Visser</strong> brings her signature sonic depth - with Heimwee II, she pulls us even deeper into her world. A genre of her own.&nbsp;<strong>J. Bernardt</strong>, the solo project of Jinte Deprez (Balthazar), knows exactly what heartbreak sounds like. Free music therapy for any Pukkelpopper with a bruised heart. Feeling teary?&nbsp;<strong>Kaat Van Stralen</strong> gets it. With&nbsp;<i>Stop Met Wenen</i>, she won De Nieuwe Lichting 2025 and handed us an instant Flemish punk classic.</p><p><strong>No Prisoners</strong> go full throttle with raw, gritty garage rock and razor-sharp edges.&nbsp;<strong>ECHT!</strong> fuse jazz, hip-hop and electronics into one sweaty, trippy Brussels stew.&nbsp;<strong>ZEP</strong> is a one-man army charging into musical battle. And&nbsp;<strong>Nicky du Soleil XXL Royal</strong>? Think Joost Klein meets Sam Smith at a schlager retreat. Expect glitter, genre chaos - and some shiny special guests. Hit machine&nbsp;<strong>Frenna</strong> does the same and is backed by&nbsp;<strong>The Gang</strong>. With 3.1 billion streams to his name, he ranks among the absolute elite of the Dutch music scene.</p><p>Partying is a full-contact sport and these gods are going for gold:&nbsp;<strong>Skyve: the last dance ft. Flo Windey, Eva De Roo &amp; Gunther D</strong>,<strong> Omdat Het Kan &amp; Average Rob, Nina Black, Portex, Kwijt Trek System, Kenny Montana, Samm&nbsp;</strong>and<strong> Poleen</strong>.</p><p>Craving a mix that jumps from old-school to alt and back?&nbsp;<strong>The Hindu Radio DJs</strong> have you covered with a genre-bending hop, skip and a beat. And there’s more: get down with L<strong>olalita, Trillosta, Miamor, kleinefrigo&nbsp;</strong>and<strong> Maraschino</strong>.</p><p><strong>FRIDAY 15 AUGUST</strong><br><strong>Milolaathetlukken</strong> is a fashion-forward Amsterdam rapper going viral with designer drip, stacks of cash, and wheelies down the Prinsengracht. Want to hear what 2027 sounds like today? Milo’s your guy.</p><p>Prefer dancing over chatting? Let your feet do the talking with&nbsp;<strong>Franck, Jeroen Delodder, Alycia Bezgo, Hoge Druk, DJ St Paul, O'SIMMIE&nbsp;</strong>and<strong> She The DJ</strong>. Into heavier stuff? Make sure to flag&nbsp;<strong>South Arcade</strong> and&nbsp;<strong>Slow Crush</strong> in your PKP app.</p><p><strong>SATURDAY 16 AUGUST</strong><br>The man, the beard, the bars -<strong> Kraantje Pappie</strong>’s got so many hits, you’ll catch yourself going “Wait…&nbsp;<i>this</i> one too?!” every other song. Expect&nbsp;<i>Pompen</i> to bring the house down, and yes - his partner-in-rhyme Frenna is just around the corner that day. Just saying.</p><p>Hybrid working? Eppo Janssen’s the poster child. Booker by day, DJ by night and with&nbsp;<strong>Eppo Janssen &amp; Friends</strong><i>,</i> he’s rocking more functions than a Swiss army knife.<i>&nbsp;</i>Also added to Saturday’s line-up:&nbsp;<strong>Flavour Drop</strong>, the Ghent-based genre blender with tropical grooves;&nbsp;<strong>Catalina</strong>, whose off-kilter 2-step refuses to behave; and&nbsp;<strong>DJ Ava Eva</strong>, straight outta Limburg.<br><br><strong>SUNDAY 17 AUGUST</strong><br>All caps, no apologies -&nbsp;<strong>HEISA</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>LAURAVIOLI with Divine MC</strong> and&nbsp;<strong>NMSS</strong> don’t just share a love for capital letters. On Sunday, August 17, the Limburgian noise heroes, the eclectic Liège-based Selector, and the Afropean, gender-fluid genre breaker all hit the Pukkelpop stage.</p><p>Also making Sunday glorious:&nbsp;<strong>Prinsezy</strong> (vies bom!),&nbsp;<strong>The Whatevers</strong> (arguably the best band name ever),&nbsp;<strong>Stijn Van de Voorde &amp; Thibault Christiaensen</strong> (StuBru twins) and&nbsp;<strong>Faisal&nbsp;</strong>(always on point).</p><p>One to seriously watch:&nbsp;<strong>Sasha Keable</strong>. Recently spotted on<i> Jools Holland</i>, where she came, saw, and blew the roof off. Think soulful R&amp;B with flashes of trip-hop, jazz and gospel.</p><p>Let’s be real: it’ll make for one hell of a bar story to say you shared the bill with&nbsp;<i>Queens of the Stone Age, Doechii, Justice, Papa Roach, The Beaches</i> and&nbsp;<i>Suki Waterhouse</i>.</p><p>Only Sunday tickets are still available - get yours now via the official website:<a href="https://tickets.pukkelpop.be">&nbsp;<u>tickets.pukkelpop.be.</u></a></p></div></div></div></div><div data-size="small" data-block-type="button-row" class="row"><div class="row__sizer"><div data-cb-row-container="" class="row__inner"><div data-cb-container="button-row" class="button-row"><a href="https://www.pukkelpop.be/en/line-up/abc" data-block-type="button" target="_self" class="button">line-up</a><a href="https://tickets.pukkelpop.be/en/" data-block-type="button" target="_blank" class="button">tickets</a></div></div></div></div></div>
