Femininomenon and Grammy-winning artist Chappell Roan creates music that hits you instantly. Discovered at the age of 17 via YouTube, she broke through in 2020 with Pink Pony Club, a bold tribute to her first night at a gay club. Since then, songs like Hot To Go, Good Luck, Babe!, and Closer have captured hearts, playlists, and charts worldwide. Her music is a daring mix of alternative emo-pop with electronic influences, where she proudly embraces her queer identity without shame. Musical talent? Check. Punk attitude? In check. She turned down an invitation to the White House and gave a metaphorical middle finger to a group of overzealous superfans. Privacy takes precedence over people-pleasing. On Friday, August 15, headliner Chappell Roan will make her Belgian debut on the Main Stage at Pukkelpop. Good Luck, Babe!

Same date, same place: Chase & Status, an undeniable force of nature in British electronic music and always a fan favorite at Pukkelpop. The duo blends drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, and rave culture. From underground roots to global festivals and over a billion streams, their energetic live shows and authentic productions are at the heart of their success. Last year, they scored their first UK number 1 hit with Backbone, a collaboration with Stormzy that’s now considered legendary. Check out Stormy’s show, PKP24 - just saying. Backbone not only conquered the charts but also gave a huge boost to their popularity among the younger generation. Friday, August 15 – it's going to be a massive celebration.

The fairytale of Oscar and The Wolf at Pukkelpop continues to take on more and more mythical forms with every performance. In 2012, still shy and humble on the Club stage, two years later headlining the Marquee, and now the Main Stage holds no secrets for stage legend Max Colombie. Currently on an extensive European tour, Pukkelpop is next in line for another incredible chapter.

Catch us tomorrow for the next update.

Pukkelpop takes place from Thursday, August 14 to Sunday, August 17, at the festival grounds in Kiewit, near Hasselt.
