Comment
Belgium may be a small country, but with more than 11.6 million inhabitants on 30,688 km2, they are a true festival Valhalla. In our country they know better than anyone how to organize a good festival. Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter: these are just a few of the well-known Belgian festivals. In addition to these big names, dozens of smaller festivals also take place. In short: plenty of choice for the festival fan! And tickets for the coming festival season are already in great demand.The festival Valhalla of Europe
What a small country can be great at! Belgium has undisputedly the most (music) festivals per capita in the world. And they are not the least: the absolute world's top artists like to come to Belgium and attract a wide and international audience. In comparison: in 1985 the first edition of Pukkelpop lasted one day and music lovers could enjoy all kinds of music genres for only 400 Belgian francs. In 2023, Pukkelpop will last no less than 4 days and the biggest artists will come to perform for around 80,000 visitors. Perhaps a bit less pleasant, but in addition to the number of visitors, the ticket price has also risen…
Enthusiasts all over the world appreciate the typical Belgian festival culture. And not only internationally, but also the Belgians themselves like to visit a festival. It is the perfect way to connect young and old and put our country on the map. Belgium is widely praised for its special Festival culture: enough reason to dedicate 2½ euros to this!
