Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams has been confirmed as the headliner for TW Classic 2026, continuing his longstanding relationship with the Belgian venue. The one-day festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday 11 July 2026 at the Festivalpark in Werchter. Tickets for the event will go on general sale this Friday, 28 November at 10 am via ticketmaster.be.
This announcement marks a significant return for Adams, who headlined the very first edition of TW Classic in 2002 and has performed at the location multiple times since. His history with Werchter dates back to 1988, when his performance at Rock Werchter was immortalized on the album ‘Live! Live! Live!’. Organisers have noted that following his “captivating and unforgettable appearance” last year, fans can expect another energetic show filled with timeless hits from his extensive catalogue.
Tickets for TW Classic 2026 will be priced at €133 during the presale, a fee that includes service charges and a mobility contribution. For fans seeking a premium experience, a limited number of Golden Circle tickets will be available for €199. These upgraded tickets grant access to the area directly in front of the stage during Bryan Adams’ performance.
A special presale is available for registered users of the Live Nation Belgium website. This window opens on Thursday 27 November at 10 am and runs until Friday 28 November at 9 am. Organisers have advised that only a limited number of tickets will be allocated to this presale period before the general sale commences the following morning.
Bryan Adams continues to be a dominant force in rock music, having recently launched his own independent label, Bad Records, in August 2024. His latest creative output includes the release of his independent album “Roll With The Punches” in September 2025, followed by a tour that began earlier this year. With a career spanning nearly four decades, Adams has achieved number one status in over 40 countries and garnered numerous accolades, including Grammy Awards and Academy Award nominations.
TW Classic retains the traditional festival format that was common in Werchter until 1994, featuring a single stage and a select group of high-profile artists. While Bryan Adams tops the bill for 2026, the rest of the line-up remains to be announced. The festival has previously hosted major acts including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and Guns N’ Roses. Further information regarding the event can be found at twclassic.be.
