TW Classic

TW Classic originated from the Rock Werchter festival ('TW', as in Torhout-Werchter, is the traditional abbreviation of the festival). That festival has become one of the leading festivals in the world and now runs over four days. The organization wanted to give something back to first-time visitors and decided to organize a festival according to the old concept of one summer day in the weekend and one stage. Mainly experienced and successful artists perform, supported by local Belgian and Dutch groups. The festival takes place in the same location as the Rock Werchter festival, this is the festival area in Werchter. The date is usually sometime in late June or early July, although this may change depending on the availability of the main act. == List of lineups ==
