About

TW Classic

Read full description

The TW Classic festival uses a tried and tested recipe. It all harks back to the way we did things in Werchter until 1994: a beautiful summer’s day, a single stage in the festivalpark, a great, high-spirited audience and a select group of artists with an impressive track record. In the meantime, TW Classic has itself become classic.
