He’s taking the place of Kings Of Leon, who are now unable to perform this Summer.

Yungblud steps up as Rock Werchter 2025 headliner

Yungblud has been confirmed as the final headliner of Rock Werchter 2025, after Kings Of Leon unfortunately had to cancel their upcoming live commitments due to frontman Caleb Followill sustaining an injury in a “freak accident”. 

The Doncaster upstart is due to take to the main stage of Werchter’s Festivalpark on 5th July, just days after dropping his anticipated fourth album ‘IDOLS’, joining a stacked lineup that elsewhere includes Geordie favourite Sam Fender, punk legends Green Day, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, and former DIY cover stars Fontaines DC

Belgium’s biggest festival will once again return to its Festivalpark stomping ground from 3rd-6th July, bringing together some of the world’s biggest names in rock, pop and more for what’s set to be a huge 50th anniversary celebration. 

Tickets for Rock Werchter 2025 are on sale now - you can find out more and grab yours here, and check out this year’s full lineup below.
