Festivals near Ghent

In Ghent, music has long made its home at the Bijloke, where the lawns of a former hospital become the setting for GENT JAZZ FESTIVAL. It's the city's signature: a restless jazz that welcomes electronic crossovers and soul voices, carried by a local scene that spills from the clubs onto the squares of the medieval centre. Ghent prizes this taste for sharp, uncompromising bookings over polished headliners, turning a gig into both an event and a fixed point on the map.

Around it, East Flanders stretches the season out: Rock Zottegem Festival flies the flag for unfiltered rock just up the road, while Rampage Open Air unleashes drum'n'bass and heavy low-end for the other, after-dark electronic side of Ghent's crowd. To navigate it all, FestT computes the FestiScore, the affinity between each festival's lineup and your favourite artists, and keeps dates and ticketing up to date.
