Pukkelpop – Festival Abroad

A mixed programme in Kiewit

Pukkelpop deliberately mixes rock, pop, dance, metal, rap and singer-songwriters. Its official history places the festival in Kiewit. Use the day-by-day programme to choose your ticket rather than treating it as a single-genre dance festival.

Book the right camping ticket

The published 2026 FAQ requires a camping ticket if you want to stay overnight, including when you have a day ticket. Access is to the campsite you booked. For multiple day tickets, the FAQ says one camping ticket can cover the stay; explain your arrival and departure dates when exchanging your vouchers.

Camping access and festival access are separate windows. Check the rules for your ticket and edition before choosing an early arrival or an extra night. The 2026 timetable is useful background, not confirmation of next year’s gate times.

Stages and the next edition

The 2026 recap names Main Stage and Marquee among its performance spaces. These are examples, not a complete stage count or next year’s timetable. The homepage announces 19–22 August 2027 while some page titles still say 2026, so check the year on every travel or camping detail.

Before you book

These are the details to confirm for the edition you are attending.

  • Your campsite booking covers your whole stay.
  • You are using the right edition of the timetable and arrival instructions.
