Pinkpop Festival 2026 is gearing up for another monumental edition at Megaland in Landgraaf, the Netherlands, where music history continues to be written each summer. As the oldest continuously running pop festival in the world, Pinkpop has become a national treasure — blending legendary performances, diverse lineups, and an electric festival spirit that captures the essence of summer in the Netherlands.

Since its debut in 1970, Pinkpop has evolved from a modest local gathering into a world-class event, drawing more than 60,000 fans each year. Its legacy includes unforgettable performances from icons like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Coldplay, and The Rolling Stones, alongside the next generation of pop, rock, and indie heroes. The festival’s unique mix of mainstream and alternative sounds, combined with its welcoming atmosphere, makes it one of Europe’s most beloved music gatherings.

The 2026 edition promises to deliver one of its strongest lineups to date, headlined by Foo Fighters, The Cure, and Twenty One Pilots — three powerhouse acts that embody the festival’s rich blend of rock energy and emotional depth. Joining them are Editors, Franz Ferdinand, YUNGBLUD, Zara Larsson, IDLES, and Teddy Swims, alongside a dynamic supporting cast including Wet Leg, DI-RECT, The Pretty Reckless, Sofi Tukker, and Giant Rooks. Together, they set the stage for three days of genre-spanning performances that will light up Landgraaf with rhythm and energy.

Beyond the music, Pinkpop continues to offer a full festival experience that blends Dutch charm with international flair. Expect open-air stages surrounded by rolling fields, colourful food markets serving everything from local favourites to global flavours, and a buzzing campsite community that brings together fans from across Europe. Every year, the festival transforms Megaland into a vibrant, feel-good world of connection, creativity, and celebration.

With its world-class lineup, storied past, and inclusive atmosphere, Pinkpop Festival 2026 stands ready to deliver another unforgettable weekend of live music, laughter, and unity — a true highlight of Europe’s summer festival season.
