Rock Zottegem is a music festival organized annually in Zottegem, Belgium.[2]

The first edition took place in 1994.[3] Through the years, it evaluated from a small free event in the city center of Zottegem to a mid-size festival outside the center. Since 2005, the format changed to a two-day (and occasionally three-day) festival, hosting up to 30,000 visitors.[4]

International artists like James Brown, Iggy Pop, Toto, ZZ Top, Elvis Costello and Deep Purple headlined Rock Zottegem.[5][6]
