00:01Homeground for Pommelin Tijs.
00:07Some 15,000 fans eagerly awaiting the headline act.
00:11They're at Loköse Feesten,
00:13a festival in the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium.
00:26Her music carries us away, all of us in the same rhythm,
00:31waving our lights and singing along.
00:33Her lyrics are one of a kind, beautiful.
00:36They really touch the heart.
00:44Songs about coming of age, about love and social injustice.
00:53She's just amazing. She has great lyrics.
00:55My daughter is crazy about her.
01:07The 25-year-old is one of the most successful pop stars in Belgium.
01:14I've played very small venues
01:16and then I got to play bigger and bigger, which is really, really nice.
01:21But I always try to keep the sentiment of like a small venue
01:24and I hope to bring it to a bigger festival.
01:28Because if you can keep like the magic that happens in like a small space
01:32and bring it to a big space,
01:33then I think it's always an extra fun concert.
01:37In Flanders, Pommelin Tijs is a chart topper.
01:42She even designs many of her outfits herself.
01:50Today was a hit, but her localized success shows just how deeply
01:54language still divides Belgium.
01:57Three languages, each with its own radio and television stations.
02:01Can she imagine singing in French or English?
02:06I guess I've thought about it, but the more I write in my own language,
02:11the more it feels natural and the more you get to play with it,
02:17just because you do it more.
02:18I think you could write songs, but I don't know if I could really put my own voice in it
02:24the way I would in Dutch, but maybe, maybe one day.
02:30In Flanders, she's been filling venues for years.
02:37But over in Wallonia, the French-speaking broadcaster still has to remind audiences who she is.
02:47In early August, a new audience awaits.
02:51I'm very glad to be here.
02:53It's my first time playing in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
03:08A first for the Ronkierre Festival too.
03:12Never before has anyone sung here in Flemish.
03:15Language barrier or not, Pommelin Tice might just be Belgium's next nationwide superstar.
03:21G-Star!
03:24Hey!
03:29All this money can't take it in.
03:32G-Star is a beautiful person.
03:35A woman just says T-S teal.
03:35Like Daddy's best for you.
