At the music festival Pukkelpop, Pommelien Thijs returned as a surprise guest. After her performance with MEAU on Thursday evening, she appeared again on stage during The Atomic Orchestra's set.

This time, she performed as a special guest with the orchestra led by Jo Hermans. The performance attracted many visitors to the tent, which was considered too small for the large turnout.

According to reports, the audience was enthusiastic, and Pommelien's performance drew loud cheers. This was the third consecutive year that The Atomic Orchestra brought musical hits with carefully selected guests.

Others on the program included Zwangere Guy and Meuris, who performed 'God Los.' The combination of these artists attracted a large crowd.

The tent surrounding the stage was reportedly unable to accommodate the number of visitors, underscoring the success of the show.

Pommelien Thijs is described by several media outlets as one of the festival's major highlights, despite the fact that she was not on the official lineup.
