SUIKERROCK 2008

About Me

Suikerrock is a rock/popfestival in the city of Tienen, in the centre of Belgium. Tienen is best known for it's sugar refinery, hence the name of the festival (suiker = sugar).
The festival started way back in 1987, and in the past we've had the honour to work with several international acts on our Main Stage: Tiësto, Lionel Richie, Shaggy, Roxy Music, Simple Minds, Zucchero, Lauryn Hill, Juanes, UB40, Therapy?,Iggy Pop, Status Quo, Scorpions, Suzanne Vega, Craig David, Heather Nova, Melanie C, Kool & The Gang, Level 42, Kosheen, Human League, Echo & The Bunnymen, Bomfunk MC's, Kane, Dog Eat Dog, Within Temptation, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Right Said Fred, Mory Kanté, Eamon, Björn Again, Katrina & The Waves, The Troggs, Fisher-Z, Bollock Brothers, The Selecter, Heaven 17, Howard Jones, Luka Bloom, Matt Bianco, Tom Robinson Band, Candy Dulfer, Fatal Flowers, ...
The 22nd. edition of the festival will be held on friday the 25th, saturday the 26th and sunday the 27th of July 2008.
The main-stage is located on the beautiful market square, the 'Grote Markt'. There is a second stage 'STELLA Bak Stage' with alternative bands and new upcoming artists on a nearby market place 'Veemarkt'. In the streets between the two stages there's a lot of animation.
Only for the mainstage an entrance fee is required, the other parts of the festival are free.
