Out of nowhere, Graspop just dropped 74 new names for their 25th edition.
Lists
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?
Putting all the favorites of our team of writers and photographers together, we’ve come to a really diverse and interesting overall AOTY list!
An AOTY list with the usual thrash, power and heavy metal suspects, but also a couple of surprises!
With 2021 being again a bit of a weird year, while looking forward to a hopefully better 2022, lets look back at some of the albums I enjoyed the most this past year.
Previews
4 days, more that 100 bands and 5 stages. There is something for everybody. Come and join us at Graspop 2026!

Lokerse feesten is a relatively small festival of about 15.000 people that offers big bands. Long story short, it’s a nice, cheaper festival that takes place only in the evening.
Gig Reports
At the end of last year, The Offspring was traveling through Europe with special guests Simple Plan on their “Supercharged Worldwide in ’25 tour” and one of our reporters was at the stop at the ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium and was blown away with yet another great show! If you somehow missed them in Belgium, or want to see them again, The Offspring will play at Graspop 2026! So you there!
The Offspring came to Forest National in Brussels and bombarded us with hit after hit for what was one of their best shows we’ve seen thus far. With support from punk rock bands Trash Boat and Four Year Strong, the night couldn’t have been better! Hosted by Live Nation Belgium.
Photo Reports
On this day, we partied like it was 1994, when punk rock legends The Offspring brought their massive rock ‘n’ roll show to a sold-out Helsinki Ice Hall during their “Supercharged Worldwide European tour” with special guests Simple Plan.
As the annual tradition dictates the Lokerse Feesten planned in a punk rock day again. This year though, they decided to go a bit more old school with Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg, The Damned, Heideroosjes, NOFX and The Offspring in the line up.
Album Reviews
‘Supercharged’ is beautiful and a pearl in The Offspring’s discography. They bring you punk with harmonies, but also fast riffs and solo’s, out via Concord Records.

I don’t think I ever waited 9 years for an album, but the waiting was rewarded. It’s a piece of art, a beautiful pearl in the discography of The Offspring.
A Decade of Destruction left us wanting more, well here it is! Five Finger Death Punch’s new album! Come celebrate its release with a bottle of Sham-Pain!

Festival Reports
The very last day of Graspop 2022 was the one that fitted our reported the best with amazing shows from bands like Crossfaith, Evil Invaders, Alestorm, Alice Cooper, The Offspring, Deep Purple and Sabaton. What a way to wrap up this event that everyone had been looking forward to so much!
