The “Franco Folies” on the “Gaalgebierg” are already casting their shadow. The festival, which has attracted famous artists such as David Guetta to Esch in the past, will take place this year from June 12th to 14th. The headliner in 2026 is likely to be the US rapper Macklemore. In addition to high numbers of visitors, however, there has been resistance from the population against the location for years. Main problem: The park is sometimes only partially accessible to visitors for weeks – or even completely closed.
