Rock Werchter is a music festival held annually during the first weekend of the summer holidays in Werchter. It was first organised in 1974. Originally it was a double-festival, called "Rock Torhout-Werchter", with two festival areas on different places in Belgium: one in Torhout and one in Werchter, where the same artists performed the next day. Since 2003 the festival lasts four days. 6 times (between 2003 and 2014), the festival won the Arthur award for the best festival in the world of the International Live Music Conference.[2] It's the largest music festival in Belgium and one of the largest festivals in Europe. Famous over the Belgian borders, each year many renowned groups and artists perform at Rock Werchter, and over 320,000 people come to the festival.[3] There is also a "Rock Werchterroute", a cycling route, around Werchter and Leuven, which also organises an annual music festival, Marktrock.[4]
Separate concerts
The next concerts were organized on the festival grounds outside the concept of Rock Werchter, or its satellite festvals T/W Classic and Werchter Boutique.[5][6]
