Les Ardentes: the summer rap festival

Since 2006, every early July has been synonymous with one of Europe's finest musical gatherings: the Ardentes.

The Belgian festival, which continues to evolve with the times, has probably been the number 1 urban festival for the past 5 years, with incredible programming and a crazy atmosphere!

A young festival awash with urban culture

For almost 20 years, Les Ardentes has been offering one of Europe's most attractive festivals at the start of each summer.

Initially very pop/rock and electro-oriented, the festival has begun to shift, along with the rest of the global music industry, towards something more urban, with a strong presence of hip hop artists.

A metamorphosis that took place in the 2010s, and which has been a great success: attendance now exceeds 50,000 festival-goers per day.

And above all, every year the organizers manage to invite the crème de la crème of urban artists.

Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, Nekfeu, Booba, Aya Nakamura, Niska: they've all been there to set the mood at Les Ardentes, which now takes place in the hills above Liège.

Once again this year, the Les Ardentes festival has put together a line-up to perfection, perhaps the best of the summer. 4 days of incredible artists.

Thursday saw the return of Kendrick Lamar, Aya Nakamura and Vladimir Cauchemar. But also Hamza, Soolking, Naza, Disiz and Alonzo.

Friday will be of the same high quality, again with big stars such as Travis Scott, Kaaris, SCH, Maes, Josman, Menace Santana and Favé, who is definitely one of the sensations of the year, especially after his legendary performance at the Planète Rap 2 match. The second day was all about rap, while the first was clearly more urban pop, but that's just as well, because we love both of them. Project X Paris.

An explosive mix for Saturday, with Playboi Carty, J Balvin and Franglish for the more danceable side. But there'll also be big names like Dinos, Gazo, Benjamin Epps, Bushi and Kerchak (who also set the Planète Rap match alight).

Last but not least, the sensation of the year, Ice Spice, will also be present at this event. Sunday brings the festival to a close, with an all-star line-up including Booba, Freeze Corleone, Niska, SDM, Kekra, Lorenzo, BB Jacques (the UFO from Nouvelle École season 1), and Metro Boomin for the big international star. Something for everyone.
