Rock Werchter Festival confirms Tom Odell as last-minute addition to 2025 lineup

Although Rock Werchter announced the majority of its 2025 lineup some time ago, eagle-eyed fans would have spotted that there was still one gap in the timetable that was yet to be revealed.

Now, the Belgian festival has confirmed that this final spot will be filled by pop stalwart Tom Odell, who’ll take to the Main Stage in Werchter’s Festivalpark this Saturday, 5th July. Odell will be performing ahead of the release of his seventh studio album ‘A Wonderful Life’ - due out in September - meaning that crowds will get the opportunity to hear some of his much-anticipated new material months before the record actually drops. 

Elsewhere at Rock Werchter 2025, fans will be treated to headline sets from the likes of Linkin Park, Green Day, Sam Fender, and Olivia Rodrigo, while DIY faves such as Fontaines DC, Amyl and The Sniffers, Wet Leg, and RAYE will also be joining the fun across four stacked days of music. 

Rock Werchter is Belgium’s biggest music festival, and is taking place this week (!) from Thursday 3rd July to Sunday 6th July. You can find out more about the event’s 50th anniversary celebrations and grab your last minute tickets here
