Twenty One Pilots & Gorillaz confirmed for Rock Werchter 2026!

Twenty One Pilots and Gorillaz play Rock Werchter 2026

TWENTY ONE PILOTS are coming back to Rock Werchter! The American duo will take the Main Stage on Saturday 4 July, bringing their unique blend of alternative rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. Twenty One Pilots’ shows are known for raw emotion, intense audience connection and, above all, an unforgettable performance!

Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun from Columbus, Ohio, make up TWENTY ONE PILOTS. The dynamic duo have shifted music and culture as an incomparable creative force and with an ever-evolving vision. They have created a unique universe in which the main character, Clancy, tries to escape the fictional city of Dema and overcome his inner demons, represented by Blurryface. It is a symbolic story about mental health that spans multiple albums. The music, visuals, and mysterious narratives form an immersive world that captivates fans around the globe. Blurryface is also the title of their breakthrough album, which set a remarkable record: every track achieved gold or platinum status.

In 2024, they released their seventh album, Clancy. Even before the accompanying tour was completed, they announced a new album. The recently released Breach serves as the epilogue to the mythical story of Clancy, which began more than ten years ago. With over 33 billion streams, more than three million tickets sold, dozens of platinum singles, and even a mention in the Guinness® World Records book for the longest music video ever, TWENTY ONE PILOTS remain one of the most innovative and intriguing acts of their generation.

The next confirmation for Rock Werchter 2026 is GORILLAZ. The virtual band, created by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, will perform on Saturday 4 July. GORILLAZ are singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle, and drummer Russel Hobbs. On stage, they are joined by a versatile group of musicians led by Albarn himself. GORILLA live is a musical and visual spectacle. GORILLAZ live is a party!

GORILLAZ, the BRIT and Grammy-winning band, formed following a collision of mishaps, meetings and pure luck to blow up a pre-digital world with their colourful backstory and ground-breaking virtual ways. Based at Kong Studios, GORILLAZ settled into a life of musical innovation with an eye-wateringly exciting roster of collaborators, a list that includes musical legends, geniuses and future stars from Elton John to Little Simz, MF Doom to Jean-Michel Jarre, Grace Jones to slowthai, Kali Uchis to Sidiki Diabaté, plus so many more.

With eight albums to their name, Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018), Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez (2020) and Cracker Island (2023), Gorillaz is a truly global phenomenon, achieving success in entirely new and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester and winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band’s recent acclaimed run of London shows to celebrate 25 years of Gorillaz saw The Guardian declare: “Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s cartoon band are still riveting and relevant”, with London’s Evening Standard adding “Albarn and Hewlett are still legions ahead of the pack,”, and The Observer headline proclaim “Gorillaz stun in star-studded show of lush visuals and borderless music.” Gorillaz’ new studio album The Mountain will be released in 2026.
