SATURDAY AT PUKKELPOP: A$AP Rocky, IDLES, and Joost


A$AP Rocky, the uncrowned American emperor of cool, is so much more than just a hip-hop icon. Whether it's groundbreaking tracks with Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar, or Rod Stewart, his high-fashion flair, or epic performances, his influence goes far beyond beats and bars. Just think about his recent accolade as 'cultural innovator' at the Fashion Awards in London last month. The ultimate headliner with style, swag, and sound, who (fingers crossed!) may drop his new album before his show at Pukkelpop on Saturday, August 16. Don’t be dumb, be there!

IDLES, formed in 2009 in Bristol, is one of the most influential and phenomenal live bands in the UK. Their music is like a tornado that pushes the boundaries of post-punk and keeps pushing them even further. Together with their loyal fans, they turn pain into beauty and trauma into strength. Meet you in the moshpit at the Main Stage, Saturday, August 16, for an explosion of energy, love, and everything in between.

The career of full-time phenomenon Joost has already taken so many unexpected twists that even the most seasoned rollercoaster is impressed. Since his shout-out to Pukkelpop in Albino, Joost has become our favorite Dutchman, our chosen family. So we're happy to mark a fourth show on the Pukkelpop scoreboard. Joost is our ‘ultimate captain of chaos.’

Tomorrow, new names at 11 am.
