The Libertines, Tamino and Madrugada are the first three headliners of the Cactus Festival, which will take place in Bruges in the summer of 2023. The organisers wanted to mark the 40th edition with some very special acts, they said on Thursday.
The Lake of Love Park (Het Minnewaterpark in Dutch) in Bruges will be the setting for the Cactus Festival at the beginning of July. The first three names of artists have now been announced.
The British songwriting duo Carl Barât and Pete Doherty will perform as The Libertines on Saturday 8 July 2023.
The Norwegian band Madrugada, led by Sivert Høyem, will also be performing on the same day.
