Rock Werchter has significantly expanded its 2026 lineup with the addition of 20 new artists, including major international acts Pixies, A Perfect Circle, Halsey, and Teddy Swims. The fresh wave of names joins an already star-studded bill that features previously announced headliners The Cure, Gorillaz, and Mumford & Sons for the festival returning to the Festivalpark in Werchter, Belgium, from Thursday 2 July to Sunday 5 July 2026.
The latest announcement brings a diverse mix of genres to the four-day event. Alternative rock legends Pixies and pop powerhouse Halsey are set to perform on Saturday 4 July, while rock supergroup A Perfect Circle will take to the stage on the festival’s final day, Sunday 5 July. American folk-rockers The Lumineers and British indie giants Kasabian have been confirmed for the opening day on Thursday 2 July, ensuring the festival kicks off with high energy.
These new additions bolster a lineup already packed with global icons. The previously confirmed schedule includes Mumford & Sons and The Prodigy on Thursday, Lewis Capaldi and The xx on Friday, Gorillaz and Twenty One Pilots on Saturday, and The Cure and Moby closing out the weekend on Sunday. With just over 200 days until the gates open, the festival is shaping up to be a major highlight of the 2026 European summer music calendar.
Tickets for Rock Werchter 2026 are currently on sale via ticketmaster.be, with both day tickets and combi (weekend) tickets available for purchase. Organisers have promised that even more names will be added to the bill in the coming months.
