The Waterbek 2026

De Waterbek will be the family festival of the Ardooie summer. Top artists on stage, atmosphere, and (children's) animation in a beautiful green zone. An evening of experience for young and old! 6:30 PM: DJ Kenji Content creator and Kastaar winner 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗹𝘁 conquers Flanders and Ardooie. You know him from Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. As power mother Wendy and her teenage son Kenji, he has 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀. In his bedroom, DJ Kenji built a hilarious and energetic show. 7:30 PM - 8:50 PM: De Romeo’s Live Meer then 20 years of experience, countless sing-alongs, and sold-out shows. Those are De Romeo’s. One of the most popular and most booked party acts in Flanders. They bring a full live performance with musicians in Ardooie. That they can sing very strongly, they proved as Pluisjes in The Masked Singer. Dance and sing along with the ambiance band! 9:30 PM - 11:00 PM: Level Six Een show of Level Six is a total concept in which decor and light take the audience on a 90-minute trip. Sing-alongs for young and old and danceable beats where no one can stand still. Jo Hens (VTM Familie) and Lisa Michels (K3 zoekt K3) take their ‘HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER’ De Waterbek to the next level! And the next level? That’s Level Six. 11:20 PM - 12:20 AM: Omdat het Kan & Average Rob De ultimate cocktail of chaos, energy, and hard beats. A musical rollercoaster in which no genre or hit is safe. From nostalgic goldies and pop classics to hard-hitting drum-‘n-bass, hardstyle, and techno bangers: everything is possible, everything is allowed. When the lights go off and the intro starts playing, you better put on your seatbelt and hold tight. Because Omdat Het Kan & Average Rob will bring you on a pretty wild ride called \"alles kapot\". 12:30 AM – 01:30 AM: Bobalicious De music of Bobalicious tastes like a Cuba Libre. Spicy, stylish, and tasteful. Same same, but different… From 80 Bpm to 160 Bpm. Give him a DJ booth and he gets wings. Literally! A rhythmic barrage with the merciless precision of a sniper. Hip-swaying towards the dawn. Ongoing: Children's animation, atmosphere, and experience on the beautiful green domain of De Waterbek
