In August 2022, the Belgian Ronquières Festival featured a lineup of top musicians who delivered enthralling performances. There was something for everyone, from Berywam's original beatboxing to Passenger's melancholy vocals.
Maneskin, an Italian rock band who just rose to fame by winning the Eurovision Song Contest, was one of the main attractions. The crowd was singing along to their hit songs like "Beggin'" and "I Wanna Be Your Slave" thanks to their high-energy performance and rockstar attitude. The British singer-songwriter Tom Odell, another star, enthralled the crowd with his emotive songs and dynamic piano playing.
The American singer LP, noted for her distinctive vocals and memorable pop-rock songs, and the Irish band Snow Patrol both put on standout performances with their passionate alternative music. The crowd was dancing and singing along to the performances by the German pair Milky Chance, the French electronic music duo Ofenbach, and the French rapper Lomepal. Lily Allen even made an unexpected guest appearance at the festival and dazzled the stage with her distinct fusion of pop and reggae.
The Ronquières Festival, which featured a wide range of skilled musicians and made an effect on the crowd, was a great success all around. For music fans, there was something for everyone, from hip hop to techno, from rock to pop.
