Welcome to the Curiosity Festival 2027 in Wetteren
Curiosity Festival 2027 returns to Wetteren in East Flanders, on the Crepico grounds at Massemsesteenweg 300. This young experience festival typically spans two consecutive September weekends, with themed days of Dutch-language pop, Belgian rock, dance and throwback nights, sing-along classics and a family Sunday. Exact 2027 dates had not been published at the time of research; the 2026 edition ran from 18 to 20 September and from 25 to 27 September.

Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
The 2027 line-up is not yet announced. The 2026 edition shows the format clearly: Friday often Dutch-language pop (including Jaap Reesema, Bart Peeters, Suzan & Freek); Saturday Belgian rock legends (K’s Choice, Triggerfinger, Daan, De Mens) or Flemish icons (Metejoor, Niels Destadsbader, Raymond van het Groenewoud); Sunday sing-along or a family day with Studio 100 acts. The second weekend featured dance and throwback headliners such as Milk Inc. and Sylver.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Wetteren
- Travel: Wetteren sits east of Ghent. Take the train to Wetteren station, then local transport; by car use the E40 towards Massemsesteenweg 300 in Massemen. Confirm 2027 parking with the organiser.
- September in Flanders is mild but often wet and windy. Pack layers, sturdy shoes and a light rain jacket.
- Book beds early: Wetteren has limited hotels; Ghent (about 15–20 minutes away) has a wider choice of hotels and B&Bs.
- Pick a weekend that matches your taste (pop/rock versus dance/family), or plan both – themed days differ a lot.
- VIP is worth it for seating and extra comfort; standard tickets already cover the main stage. Always verify details on curiosityfestival.be.
