For twenty-five years now, Cactusfestival has been stirring your senses with tasty sounds from all over the world. We will not stand on ceremony, but are determined to keep up the tradition for at least another twenty-five years. CACTUSFESTIVAL embraces world music in its broadest possible sense: no cheap exotism, but a most beautiful globalisation, tearing down the walls between different genres, continents and people

CACTUSFESTIVAL remains a man-sized festival, offering an easygoing atmosphere and no heartbreaking dilemmas: there's only one stage so visitors can enjoy every minute of the full-sized concerts, from A(BSYNTHE MINDED) to Z(ITA SWOON). Offstage too, a lot is happening and of course there is plenty of opportunity to fortify the inner man or woman.

The fairytale-like Minnewaterpark is once again the place where renowned musicians and musical innovators will be confronted with a broad-minded audience. This edition will feature exclusive festival performances from a.o. ERYKAH BADU, THE TRAGICALLY HIP, DAVID GRAY, RUFUS WAINWRIGHT and THE PROCLAIMERS. And – as CACTUSFESTIVAL celebrates its 25th birthday - we must also mention THE WAILERS, the legendary accompanists of Bob Marley, who passed away exactly 25 years ago.

Together with these artists and with you we will make it – for the 25th time - an occasion to remember!

CACTUSFESTIVAL in collaboration with Stricto Tempo vzw, the City of Bruges, Flemish Community, our sponsors, advertisers and the efforts of more than 300 volunteers.
