Belgium may be small, but when it comes to summer festivals, it punches well above its weight. From heavy and alt fests Graspop and Alcatraz to the more commercial Pukkelpop and Rock Werchter, the concert series of Lokerse Feesten and Live Is Live to the small and cosy Rock Zottegem and Parkpop Oostkamp, we’ve selected eight Belgian summer events that are reason enough to visit our home country in 2026. Which one is already on your calendar?
The tradition at GrimmGent is for all photographers to set up our personal collection of our favourites. Always an illustrious collection, sometimes with shots that haven’t even been published here. This is my Tom Treuten selection of highlights in 2024.
Covering a wide range of musical genres, STARS IN TOWN 2024 brought a full Friday of indie, alternative, punk, and rock with DONOTS, EDITORS and PLACEBO. Turning the historical Herrenacker in the heart of Schaffhausen old town (Switzerland) into a festival infield. An event with a very special location and flair.
