Programme

The 51st edition of Lokerse Feesten will take place from Friday 31 July to Sunday 9 August 2026 and will feature a mix of Belgian and international artists. For ten straight days, the city of Lokeren will transform into a vibrant musical hub. Unlike muddy camping festivals, Lokerse Feesten is an urban event, which means you can easily commute back to Brussels or Antwerp after the headliners finish. The event is celebrated for its intimate city-center feel despite hosting tens of thousands of visitors each night, making it a unique hybrid of a major music festival and a traditional Flemish town fair.

Line-up
Diana Ross, Roxy Dekker, Pommelien Thijs, Gogol Bordello, Therapy, Dropkick Murphys, Zaz, Xavier Rudd, The Kooks, Oscar and the Wolf, Tom Odell, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, The Streets, Zwangere Guy, Suede, Editors, Lenny KravitzLost Frequencies, Netsky, and house music legend Armand Van Helden close out the 10-day marathon with a huge open-air dance party on Sunday.
