Rock For Specials

The pop and rock festival for people with an intellectual disability and their companions. Two days of enjoying music, atmosphere, and unforgettable festival moments: that is Rock for Specials in a nutshell. Also in 2026, we are again rolling out a varied lineup full of solid rock, fresh pop, compelling beats, and artists who are guaranteed to set the festival grounds on fire. On Wednesday, June 24 and Thursday, June 25, we welcome thousands of festival-goers for the 29th edition of the most beautiful and warmest festival in Flanders. From emerging talent to established names: every artist brings their own energy to Doornzele. Expect goosebump moments, loud sing-alongs, dancing feet, and above all, a lot of connection. Rock for Specials is more than just a festival. It is a place where everyone can be themselves, where music brings people together, and where fun is central. Thanks to the unique atmosphere, professional framework, and enthusiastic volunteers, visitors experience a real festival experience here, fully tailored to their needs.
