Dutch singer Roxy Dekker brought her signature energy to the main stage of Belgium's Werchter Boutique festival, even as temperatures soared.
Dekker, known for her viral TikTok hits like 'Anne-Fleur vakantie,' 'Satisfyer,' and 'Sugardaddy,' commanded the stage with a vibrant performance. She noted the intense heat, estimating it at "400 degrees," but it did not deter her or the enthusiastic crowd.
"In Belgium, everyone always gives 100 percent," Dekker told VRT NWS after the show. She contrasted the Belgian audience with Dutch crowds, whom she described as "more nonchalant and calmer." "Here, it's just a little bit louder," she added.
This performance marked Dekker's debut on a main stage at one of Belgium's major festivals, following her successful set at Pukkelpop the previous year. She expressed immense enjoyment and drew energy from the audience's engagement, stating, "When I feel the audience giving everything, I automatically step up a notch."
Dekker found the energy on the main stage comparable to her experience in a tent at Pukkelpop, despite the open space potentially feeling more distant. The crowd's excitement was palpable, particularly when Dekker playfully polled the audience about owning a 'Satisfyer' before launching into the hit song.
In Belgium, everyone always gives 100 percent.
