The line-up for Les Ardentes Festival in Liège is now complete, announced by the organisers on Tuesday, about two and a half months before the event kicks off.
Over 150 artists will perform on 3-6 July across the five stages of Europe’s largest urban music festival, featuring acts like J Balvin, David Guetta, Gims, and Damso.
Although the festival’s roots are in francophone and American rap, the programme is not confined to a single musical style.
Festival-goers can enjoy a diverse range, from pop with Adèle Castillon and Ebony, to electronic music with David Guetta or Trym, and reggaeton with J Balvin and Mexican sensation Peso Pluma.
Artists hail from various countries, including the United States, France, Belgium, Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Canada, Switzerland, and Algeria.
The festival’s first day will highlight performances by David Guetta, Damso, Laylow, Vald, Kaaris, and the Mexican star Peso Pluma.
Friday will be the festival’s most internationally diverse day, featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, Gucci Mane, Swae Lee, and 6ix9ine, with francophone acts like Gazo, SDM, La Fouine, and Youssef Swatt’s.
Saturday will showcase one of today’s most popular artists, Gims, alongside Young Thug, Lil Tecca, Ninho, and Niska.
The festival will close on Sunday with what organisers hope to be a memorable finale, headlined by reggaeton star J Balvin, along with Ty Dolla $ign, Hamza, Tayc, and Adèle Castillon.
Between 200,000 and 250,000 attendees are expected for the 18th edition of the festival, with tickets available on the Les Ardentes website, either daily or as a four-day pass.
