The story

Rijvers Festival in Lievegem

Rijvers is a four-day, seven-stage music festival held every August in the small East Flanders town of Lievegem, mixing Flemish pop, rock and electronic acts with international touring names. It draws visitors as much for its scale-in-a-small-town format as for the lineup, with camping turning it into a multi-day stay rather than a single show.

Rijvers Festival packs more than 100 acts onto seven stages over four days each August in Lievegem, a rural East Flanders municipality better known for farmland than for headline entertainment.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rijvers spreads more than 100 acts across seven stages over four consecutive August days, an unusually large footprint for a festival hosted in a municipality with a population in the low tens of thousands

02

The mystery stays covered

The genre mix runs from mainstream pop through indie rock to electronic sets, so the crowd and atmosphere change stage to stage rather than following one scene

03

The city starts moving

On-site camping extends the event into an overnight stay, uncommon among Belgium's city-based festivals and giving it a different rhythm from a single-night concert
