The festive weekend kicks off with an after-work party that sets the tone straight away. No tickets needed—just come along and enjoy.

• DJ Volt & DJ Lotto bring the right beats to get the weekend started.
• Sting Tribute 2.5 pays tribute to Sting’s legendary hits.
• The Juliets close the night with a high-energy set of party covers.

Saturday is the day Road Rock truly celebrates its 10th anniversary — and how. With a line-up that brings together established names and exciting new talent.

Zornik
The man. The myth. The legend. Zornik has been delivering powerful guitars, unforgettable choruses and pure live energy for years. Classics such as ‘Believe Me’ and ‘Scared of Yourself’ make this an unmissable performance.

Novastar
If you want to see Novastar live in Belgium this year, Kuurne is the place to be. Road Rock is Novastar’s only Belgian show this year. Expect goosebump moments with songs including ‘Wrong’, ‘Never Back Down’ and ‘The Best Is Yet to Come’.

De Mens
Frank Vander Linden and co. bring a set packed with recognisable songs and emotion. Singing along to ‘Irene’ and ‘Dit is mijn huis’? Guaranteed.

Alice Mae
A rising star from Belgium. After her strong appearance on VRT, Alice Mae is ready to impress live as well. With her powerful voice and songs such as ‘Better Ways’, she brings a fresh sound to the festival.

The Kids
Fifty years of punk and still uncompromising. These Belgian punk legends are celebrating their own anniversary too. With classics such as ‘There Will Be No Next Time’ and ‘Bloody Belgium’, expect a set full of energy, rebellion and pure rock ’n’ roll.

Are you arriving early? You might score one of the free Road Rock caps, exclusively available to the first 1,000 festivalgoers. A great keepsake from this anniversary edition.

What began as a local initiative has grown into a firm fixture of the Belgian festival summer. Ten years of Road Rock means ten years of music, friendship and unforgettable moments at the Vlaskouter.

Saturday kicks off with the winner of the Road Rock Rally, this year’s must-see discovery. Expect fresh sounds and a promising set guaranteed to wake up the crowd.
