The Lokerse Feesten (English: Lokeren Feasts) is a music festival organized annually in Lokeren, Belgium.[2]

History

[edit]

The first edition took place on 2, 4 and 6 August 1975.[3] It is now a ten-day festival, with four to eight artists performing on the main stage daily. Theme days include metal days or days with Flemish/Dutch artists only.[4]

The festival hosts up to 125,000 visitors each year.[5]

Alestorm stage set at Lokerse Feesten 2019

In recent editions, international artists like Neil Young, P!nk, Blur, The Beach Boys, Van Morrison, Iggy Pop, Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg, Morrissey and Tori Amos headlined the Lokerse Feesten.[6]

Locally, the name "Lokerse Feesten" has also become a collective term for all activities within those 10 days in the city centre of Lokeren.

Split-off

[edit]

In 1994, the music festival moved to another location (Grote Kaai) and it became a paying event. A part of the organizers disagreed these decisions, and since then, a free music festival Fonnefeesten takes place in Lokeren during the same period of the Lokerse Feesten.[7] In the past, it headlined famous artists like Billy Ocean, 10cc, Level 42, Axelle Red, The Supremes, The Three Degrees and Starsailor.[8]
