Femininomenon and Grammy-winning artist CHAPPELL ROAN creates music that hits you instantly. Discovered at the age of 17 via YouTube, she broke through in 2020 with Pink Pony Club, a bold tribute to her first night at a gay club. Since then, songs like Hot To Go, Good Luck, Babe!, and Closer have captured hearts, playlists, and charts worldwide.
Her music is a daring mix of alternative emo-pop with electronic influences, where she proudly embraces her queer identity without shame. Musical talent? Check. Punk attitude? In check. She turned down an invitation to the White House and gave a metaphorical middle finger to a group of overzealous superfans. Privacy takes precedence over people-pleasing.
On Friday 15th August CHAPPELL ROAN will make her Belgian debut as headliner on the Main Stage at Pukkelpop!
Same date, same place: CHASE & STATUS, an undeniable force of nature in British electronic music and always a fan favorite at Pukkelpop. The duo blends drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, and rave culture. From underground roots to global festivals and over a billion streams, their energetic live shows and authentic productions are at the heart of their success. Last year, they scored their first UK number 1 hit with Backbone, a collaboration with Stormzy that’s now considered legendary. Check out Stormy’s show, PKP24 – just saying. Backbone not only conquered the charts but also gave a huge boost to their popularity among the younger generation. Friday, August 15 – it’s going to be a massive celebration.
The fairytale of OSCAR AND THE WOLF at Pukkelpop continues to take on more and more mythical forms with every performance. In 2012, still shy and humble on the Club stage, two years later headlining the Marquee, and now the Main Stage holds no secrets for stage legend Max Colombie. Currently on an extensive European tour, Pukkelpop is next in line for another incredible chapter.
A$AP ROCKY, the uncrowned American emperor of cool, is so much more than just a hip-hop icon. Whether it’s groundbreaking tracks with Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar, or Rod Stewart, his high-fashion flair, or epic performances, his influence goes far beyond beats and bars. Just think about his recent accolade as ‘cultural innovator’ at the Fashion Awards in London last month. The ultimate headliner with style, swag, and sound, who (fingers crossed!) may drop his new album before his show at Pukkelpop on Saturday 16th August. Don’t be dumb, be there!
IDLES, formed in 2009 in Bristol, is one of the most influential and phenomenal live bands in the UK. Their music is like a tornado that pushes the boundaries of post-punk and keeps pushing them even further. Together with their loyal fans, they turn pain into beauty and trauma into strength. Meet you in the moshpit at the Main Stage, Saturday 16th August for an explosion of energy, love, and everything in between.
The career of full-time phenomenon JOOST has already taken so many unexpected twists that even the most seasoned rollercoaster is impressed. Since his shout-out to Pukkelpop in Albino, JOOST has become our favorite Dutchman, our chosen family. So we’re happy to mark a fourth show on the Pukkelpop scoreboard. Joost is our ‘ultimate captain of chaos.’
Surprise with spoiler alert! QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will headline the Pukkelpop Main Stage on Sunday 17th August!
