December is gift month, and Rock Werchter is joining the celebration. Beneath the Christmas tree in Werchter lie 21 freshly wrapped acts, ready to be unboxed. Today, the festival reveals its latest presents: an exciting blend of international heavy-hitters and rising new talent, spanning danceable pop to electrifying guitars. These new additions promise a summer packed with unforgettable moments when Rock Werchter returns from Thursday 2 July to Sunday 5 July at Festivalpark Werchter (Belgium). The countdown starts now.

The countdown to summer has officially begun. In just 224 days, Belgium’s world-renowned Rock Werchter will once again turn the Festivalpark in Werchter into a global hub for live music. Excitement ramps up even further with 20 new names joining the 2026 bill.
