Festival season is fast approaching, and it’s time to make some choices. Among the must-see events of summer 2025, Les Ardentes is the obvious choice.
Since its beginnings, this festival from Liège has carved out a place for itself on the European scene, becoming a veritable temple to rap, hip-hop and urban music. Icons such as Missy Elliott, Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Travis Scott and Booba have already taken to the stage, making the festival the stuff of legend. Every year, thousands of fans gather at Liège’s Parc Astrid, a verdant setting on the banks of the Meuse, to experience four days of sound, warmth and pure energy. With its unique vibe, ever-changing line-up and supercharged atmosphere, Les Ardentes clearly deserves a place in your 2025 diary.
