The Belgian festival giant has just added 21 new names to its already stacked lineup - call it an early Christmas present.

Rock Werchter Festival confirms David Byrne, JADE, FKA twigs and more for 2026 lineup

It may still be a couple of weeks until the big day, but who needs Santa when you’ve got Rock Werchter? The Belgian fest - which is due to take place from 2nd-5th July next year in Werchter’s Festivalpark - has added 21 more names to its 2026 lineup. 

Among the new additions are Talking Heads frontman and cultural icon David Byrne, newly solo pop sensation JADE, and boundary-pushing innovator FKA twigs. Also on the bill are a bunch of DIY faves (Yard Act, Wolf Alice, and former cover star CMAT, to name a few), while crowds will also be treated to sets from the likes of Reneé Rapp and Paris Paloma. 

All these and more join Rock Werchter’s already heaving 2026 programme, which will be headed up in sure-to-be spectacular fashion by Mumford & Sons, The xx, Gorillaz, and The Cure. 

Tickets for Rock Werchter 2026 are on sale now - in fact, day tickets for Sunday 5th July are already sold out! Find out more and nab yours here, and remind yourself of what went down in Belgium this summer below.
