Rock Zottegem
Rock Zottegem is a music festival organized annually in Zottegem, Belgium.
The first edition took place in 1994. Through the years, it evaluated from a small free event in the city center of Zottegem to a mid-size festival outside the center. Since 2005, the format changed to a two-day festival, hosting up to 40,000 visitors.
International artists like James Brown, Toto, ZZ Top, Elvis Costello, Deep Purple and John Fogerty headlined Rock Zottegem. In 2010, after his performance with the Stooges, Iggy Pop was rushed to the local hospital with an eyebrow ripped open after a stage dive.
