The Americans of Papa Roach have been icons in the alternative rock scene for over twenty years. The band was formed in the 1990s at a high school in California by singer Jacoby Shaddix. Their hit "Last Resort" is a millennial anthem, but the song transcends generations. Young and old sing along effortlessly at the top of their lungs. For Papa Roach, the song marked their big breakthrough around the turn of the millennium. Since then, the foursome have released ten studio albums, scored twelve number one hits, and earned two Grammy nominations. Papa Roach was, and still is, one of the most influential acts in the genre.
Zwangere Guy is one of the leading figures in the Brussels hip-hop scene. His musical career began in 2010 as a member of the hip-hop collective STIKSTOF. In 2016, Zwangere Guy took his first steps as a solo artist. The combination of hard beats, unfiltered honesty, and fiery performances in his own unique style make Zwangere Guy one of the most influential voices in the Dutch-language rap scene of his generation. A brand-new album 'Dit Is Guy', the follow-up to his debut 'Wie is Guy?', will be released at the end of this month. Next up: a sold-out ING Arena show on November 20, a concert at Forest National on March 4, and now also a show at Werchter Parklife … Zwangere Guy is on a roll!
Werchter Parklife will take place at the Festivalpark in Werchter on Sunday 28 June 2026. Tickets are available via ticketmaster.be.
