[5] In recent editions, international artists like Neil Young, P!nk, Blur, The Beach Boys, Van Morrison, Iggy Pop, Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg, Morrissey and Tori Amos headlined the Lokerse Feesten.

[6] Locally, the name "Lokerse Feesten" has also become a collective term for all activities within those 10 days in the city centre of Lokeren.

In 1994, the music festival moved to another location (Grote Kaai) and it became a paying event.

A part of the organizers disagreed these decisions, and since then, a free music festival Fonnefeesten takes place in Lokeren during the same period of the Lokerse Feesten.

[7] In the past, it headlined famous artists like Billy Ocean, 10cc, Level 42, Axelle Red, The Supremes, The Three Degrees and Starsailor.
