TW Classic
The TW Classic festival uses a tried and tested recipe. It all harks back to the way we did things in Werchter until 1994: a beautiful summer’s day, a single stage in the festivalpark, a great, high-spirited audience and a select group of artists with an impressive track record. In the meantime, TW Classic has itself become classic. Resounding names like The Rolling Stones, The Police, Bryan Adams, Lenny Kravitz, Sting, Phil Collins, Elton John, Texas, Editors, Depeche Mode, Black Eyed Peas, Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi, Kraftwerk, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band and Guns N' Roses have already adorned the festival bill.
