Ronquières Festival 2026: three days of music at the foot of the Plan Incliné, in Wallonia
Set at the foot of the landmark Plan Incliné de Ronquières boat lift, in Braine-le-Comte, the Ronquières Festival paces early August to the sound of barges crossing the inclined plane. It runs from 7 to 9 August 2026 for a sold-out Walloon edition.
The site unfolds across three stages — Tribord, Colline and Babord Club — for a line-up where pop, electronica and rap meet. The 2026 bill brings together Charlotte Cardin, the duo Acid Arab, Disiz and Adèle Castillon.
On site, payment runs on a rechargeable cashless wristband (Payconiq, top-up terminals, app), free shuttles serve the festival from Nivelles, Braine-le-Comte and Feluy, and a campsite welcomes festival-goers (tents only, no campervans) with free showers and toilets.
