Organisers of Dour Festival, scheduled for 16 to 20 July 2025, have unveiled the first 15 names in their line-up.
Alongside Belgian DJ Charlotte De Witte, who was confirmed at the start of December, Brussels rapper Hamza and British artist Stormzy will headline the festival.
Hamza has been one of the biggest names on the Belgian rap scene since the 2010s, alongside acts such as Damso, Caballero, and JeanJass. This year, he won a Flammes award for his album 'Sincèrement', recognising the best in Francophone rap.
Stormzy rose to fame in 2017 with his debut album 'Gang Signs & Prayer', which led to collaborations with Ed Sheeran and Aya Nakamura.
In addition to the headliners, the festival will feature French DJ Folamour, Nico Moreno, German DJ Marlon Hoffstadt, dubstep pioneers Caspa B&B Rusko, and British duo Skream & Benga. Swiss DJs Adriatique, German duo Brutalismus 3000, and American DJ Svdden Death will also perform.
For rap enthusiasts, British artist Bru-C and French rapper SDM will be present. Palestinian composer and performer Saint Levant and Australian electro-rock band Parcels will also join the line-up.
