For 2025, we’re going with a 3-day event from August 15 to August 17. Here’s why:
Extended Weekend & Bank Holiday: This schedule taps into a long weekend, with August 15 being a bank holiday in Belgium. It’s the perfect opportunity for everyone to fully immerse themselves without weekday obligations, making travel and participation easier.
Only One Weekend (no second weekend): focusing on August 15 · 16 · 17 allows us to create one massive rave for everyone to join. And we listened to your feedback: many visitors expressed that while they wanted to attend both weekends, it wasn’t financially feasible, and they wanted the chance to see all the artists. With a single weekend, now everyone can experience the full lineup. Did you know 6 out of 11 WECANDANCE editions were held over one weekend?
95+ artists are loading for your summer with us. Our 12th edition returns in 2025 with highlights, including Peggy Gou’s only performance in Belgium this year on Sunday, 17.08! Click here or on our Instagram to discover the first batch of ICONIC names. Full lineup by the end of February! RSVP here via our Facebook event!
This year’s Denim Dancers theme is a tribute to denim’s universal appeal — your way. Whether you keep it classic or go all out, from streetwear to high fashion, upcycled or DIYed, denim is for everyone—spanning generations, styles, and subcultures. Need outfit inspiration? Check out our Pinterest and Instagram pages for ideas to dress up in denim this summer!
NEW: Night Trains to Antwerp and Brussels!
This year, WECANDANCE is expanding its public transport options. In addition to trains stopping in Ghent and Bruges, night trains will now also serve Antwerp and Brussels. Additional buses and trams will also be in operation.

The security of our visitors, artists and entourage, crew and people of Zeebrugge and neighbouring villages is a number one priority to the organization of WECANDANCE. Our security measures were taken in consultation with the police, the emergency services and the local government. All visitors can be subject to a full hand search. They are deemed to cooperate and open their bags spontaneously to show the contents to security and crew members responsible for the search. After the search, small backpacks and handbags (max. 45 cm high) will be allowed on site.
We have set out a clear list covering all items that are forbidden at the festival grounds: Professional photo, video and audio recording equipment, tripods, selfie sticks, drones, food or beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), glass, plastic bottles, cans, beverage boxes, camel bags, drugs (people who have to take medication are advised to bring a medical certificate), fireworks, explosives, torches and any other flammable products, weapons, knives and other sharp items, portable benches or chairs, inflatable items (pools, balls, chairs and sofas…), non-drinkable gels and liquids such as deodorant.
Sounds like a good plan! Make sure to mail your details to crew@lineup.be. WECANDANCE has no volunteer program you can join since we’re a commercial company, not a VZW.
