Coq Rock 2026 Full Lineup Revealed — 25 Years of Rock & Metal on the Belgian Coast — 11 July in Vosseslag, De Haan

A quarter century. That is exactly what Coq Rock celebrates when it returns to the dunes of Vosseslag, De Haan on 11 July 2026 for its landmark 25th edition. Since its first outing in 2001, this free-entry coastal rock and metal festival has built an unshakeable reputation as one of Belgium’s most passionately run grassroots events — and the 2026 anniversary lineup makes clear that the organisers of VZW Coq Rock have no intention of going quietly. Seven bands. One stage. A full afternoon and evening of heavy guitars, powerful vocals, and the kind of electric crowd energy that only a genuinely community-driven festival can generate. From the opening act at 14:00 right through to the closing headliner at midnight, Coq Rock 2026 promises to be the most ambitious edition yet.

The Headliner

Closing out the night at 23:00 are Reise Reise — the Belgian-based Rammstein tribute act who have built a formidable reputation across Europe for their visceral, pyrotechnic-level live performances. For a free festival, landing a headliner of this calibre is a genuine coup, and expectations are sky-high. If you have ever wanted to experience the sheer wall-of-sound spectacle of Rammstein’s industrial metal without leaving the Belgian coast, this is your moment.

The Support Acts

Mantah step up as direct support from 21:30, bringing their own brand of melodic hard rock to the stage in what should be a perfect warm-up for the night’s climax. They are followed — in reverse chronological order through the afternoon — by South of Salem (20:00), who deliver a Southern-tinged rock sound that always turns heads on the Belgian club circuit. The earlier slots showcase the festival’s commitment to heavier, more underground sounds: Mordkaul (18:30) arrive with their aggressive thrash-tinged riffs, while Temptations for the Weak (17:00) bring an intensity that has been winning over audiences across the region. Opening the stage from 15:30 are Inhuman, with October Changes kicking the whole day off at 14:00 in fitting style.
