Art Exhibition
New this year is our partnership with a fine selection of established and upcoming artists. We invited Overlabt to set-up an art exhibition in connection to the festival setting.
Opening Times
Now that you know how to get to the festival we would like to inform you about opening times for everything that is relevant to know when preparing your stay in and around our forest. Continue reading for some extra information on those opening times.
How to get to dunk!festival 2026
Ok! It’s time to prepare. We already started preparing the logistical side of things and will assemble the entire team for full force build up in just 10 days.
Thursday Sold Out!
After selling out all combi tickets a while ago, we also ran out of Thursday tickets recently. For Friday and Saturday we only have just a few dozen available..
Am Fost La Munte Și Mi-a Plăcut at dunk!HQ
While we’re counting down to dunk!festival we are already preparing ourselves for the right vibes. This time we invited Am Fost La Munte Și Mi-a Plăcut from Slovenia…
Combi Tickets Sold Out
This all went a bit faster than expected but as we predicted, combi tickets are now completely sold out. We would like to thank all of you for sharing our enthusiasm about this upcoming edition and…
Low Ticket Alert
With only 73 days to go, we are close to selling out dunk!festival 2026 completely. Combi tickets are even 92% gone. That means, if you’re planning on joining us for this amazing weekend in May, you really need to get those tickets secured now.
Lineup Complete!
This is it! The final lineup. We’re adding the last three bands to the bill. And they’re not the least. We are extremely proud to have this beautiful collection of bands coming over to Zottegem, Belgium on May 14 to 16th.
Almost complete
With only 102 days to go, we present the second to last selection of bands to join us for what will become an epic edition of the festival for many reasons. Please find below three more reasons to join us in May!
dunk!HQ Release Show
Turpentine Valley is bringing a new album to dunk!festival but we’re too excited to wait that long. So we booked them for a dunk!HQ release show on March 7th. Supported by Onrust, one of our newest members in the dunk!family.
Three more treats!
We’re really enjoying the pace of this year’s announcements, so we’re keeping it going until the full lineup is revealed. And yes, we still have a few treats for you — starting with these three excellent post-rock bands.
Happy Monday!
Today happens to be Blue Monday but we’re not going to do that and make it a great day. Let’s do that by adding a few more bands to the lineup.
First round in 2026
It’s 2026! The year of our return to the forest. We’re counting down. Only 123 days to go. We have quite some logistical and administrational challenges to conquer but we’ll come back to that later. The good news is that the lineup is getting better and better!
Lineup is growing
While the year is coming to an end, we would like to add four names to the lineup. Which gets us halfway through the lineup announcements. Read on below and get to know these latest additions to the lineup.
Third headliner!
Yes we like them so much that we booked them twice. We Lost The Sea from Australia will be headlining the festival on Saturday May 16th, playing Departure Songs in full (with guests).
Headliner announcement!
Fridays are extra exciting lately. And definitely this one today. We can’t announce that many headliners for each edition. So a day like this, when we get to announce that Caspian will be headlining day 2 of the festival, is a real joy.
Lineup shaping up
After announcing three Belgian bands last week we’re now looking across the oceans (or at least across the English Channel) to announce another three beautiful additions to the 2026 lineup.
More Belgian riffs on the lineup
We already had Celestial Wolves and Onrust from Belgium on the lineup and couldn’t resist adding another three of our favorite Belgian bands of the moment.
More names!
Today is a good day. So we’re sharing some good news with you. We have three more bands who were so kind to accept our invitation to come and play the festival in May 2026.
First names for dunk!festival 2026
Here we go! Today we start assembling the lineup together step by step. And what a big first step this is! We’re happy to welcome back Russian Circles and Pelican to our stage.
