New festival HEAR HEAR with guitar music at Pukkelpopwei: “It’s hot, but never too hot for a festival”

The Pukkelpop organization was already toying with the idea of ​​organizing a new day festival in 2019. But then the corona crisis came, and the basic idea for HEAR HEAR was forced into the fridge. “We had the feeling that we were programming a lot of hip-hop and dance at Pukkelpop, and less and less indie music. We wanted to do something different,” says spokesperson Frederik Luyten.

“HEAR HEAR is also closing the gap a bit, after two years of missed income due to the corona crisis. Every year we look at what we can do extra from Pukkelpop, if the circumstances are right. For example, we organized Rimpelrock and Summer Swing for older music lovers in the past. he clarifies.

“HEAR HEAR fits in with where we want to go in the future: Pukkelpop is a distinct youth festival, and we want to stay that way, so it’s nice that we can put something else next to that with HEAR HEAR. And as an organization it is interesting to spread over multiple events.
