Brussels (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Pukkelpop 2025 features Pommelien Thijs, Amelie Lens, Netsky, Zwangere Guy, Oscar & The Wolf, Jamie xx, Chase & Status, Paul Kalkbrenner, Khruangbin and AURORA. More artists will be announced soon. The festival takes place from August 14-17, 2025, in Hasselt, Belgium.

The organisers of Pukkelpop wanted Pommelien Thijs to come back and perform again. This year, Pommelien is expected to play later in the day, they mentioned, which means she could have a better spot on the main stage. 

Organisers said that Pukkelpop has a great lineup with some of the biggest music names from Belgium. On Friday, techno star Amelie Lens will perform. She has been very popular in Europe with her shows. Recently, she had big performances at the Flanders Expo with another techno star, Charlotte De Witte. This has made her one of the top names in the techno world. 

Who is performing at Pukkelpop 2025?

On Saturday, Netsky, a well-known drum ‘n’ bass artist, will perform. On Sunday, rapper Zwangere Guy will take the stage for his only festival show this summer. Fans are excited, especially with his new album coming out in September 2025. He will join Oscar & The Wolf.

Organisers mentioned that Pukkelpop is building excitement with a lineup of famous artists, especially in electronic and indie music. Belgium’s own Amelie Lens will be there, along with big international acts. On Friday, festival-goers can look forward to Jamie xx. He is known for his unique mix of house, techno, and experimental sounds. That same day, the famous duo Chase & Status will perform. 

On Saturday, Paul Kalkbrenner will perform at Pukkelpop. Officials mentioned that he is a famous electronic music producer from Germany. Khruangbin will also play that day. They mix funk, soul, and psychedelic music, which is different from Kalkbrenner’s style.

On Sunday, AURORA, a popular pop singer from Norway, will take the stage. She is known for her great performances. The indie-pop duo Royel Otis will also perform. As the festival gets closer, more artists will be announced.  Pukkelpop promises more surprises in the coming weeks. They mentioned that fans should watch for next Wednesday, February 19, 2025. 

At the latest MIA (Music Industry Awards) ceremony, Pommelien Thijs won 4 awards from 7 nominations. This brings her total to 12 MIA awards. She has been seen at major festivals, which helps her popularity. 

Officials mentioned that after her performance at Rock Werchter earlier this year, more people are noticing her. Her success is not just about winning awards. Many fans enjoy her performances and how she connects with the crowd.

According to Pommelien Thijs, one of the most significant achievements in her career was her performance at Pukkelpop, one of Belgium’s largest music festivals, which she held in Kiewit last year in front of roughly 40,000 people. Officials mentioned that she performed early in the day, but she still made a strong impression.
