Pukkelpop 2025 Expands Its Line-Up with 10 New Names
Pukkelpop has just expanded its 2025 lineup with ten new names, adding even more excitement to this year’s edition. Taking place from August 15 to 17 in Hasselt, Belgium, the festival remains one of Europe’s most diverse music events. With a mix of electronic music, indie rock, hip-hop, and pop, this latest announcement brings even more variety to an already strong lineup.
A Power-Packed Friday Line-Up
The first day of Pukkelpop was already promising, with Chappell Roan, Chase & Status, and Oscar and the Wolf on the bill. Now, fans can also look forward to a set from Amelie Lens, the techno queen who recently sold out Flanders Expo three times. Jamie xx, known for his genre-blending sets, will bring a mix of UK garage, house, and post-dubstep to the festival.
Singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka also joins the Friday lineup, delivering his signature melancholic yet warm melodies. Meanwhile, Belgian pop sensation Pommelien Thijs, who opened last year’s Main Stage for 40,000 festivalgoers, will take on the WTF stage, ready to elevate the energy.
Saturday Gets Even Stronger
Saturday was already shaping up to be a massive day, featuring A$AP Rocky, IDLES, and Joost. Now, more exciting names are joining the party. Khruangbin will bring their signature sunshine-infused, psychedelic rock, perfect for a summer festival setting. Fans of drum and bass can celebrate the return of Belgian favorite Netsky, a Pukkelpop regular known for high-energy sets.
Techno fans are also in for a treat. Paul Kalkbrenner, one of the most influential names in the genre, is making his fifth appearance at the festival. His hypnotic sound and emotional build-ups promise an unforgettable set.
A Magical Sunday to Close the Festival
The final day of Pukkelpop already had an impressive lineup, including Queens of the Stone Age, Papa Roach, and Justice. Now, more names have been added to make Sunday even more special. Norwegian singer-songwriter AURORA will bring her ethereal and enchanting sound, creating a magical atmosphere to end the weekend.
Another exciting addition is Royel Otis, the Australian indie duo that went viral with their covers of Murder on the Dancefloor and Linger. Since then, they’ve built a strong reputation for their dynamic live performances.
Meanwhile, fans of Belgian hip-hop can look forward to a rare festival appearance by Zwangere Guy. This will be his only festival performance of the summer, making it a must-see for fans. Since his last major Pukkelpop performance in 2023, he has been busy with multiple creative projects, including a feature film, a TV series, and a new album set for release in September.
