What once started as an extra during the Fruitcorso in 1992 grew into a professional, independent festival with national fame. From 2014, the Fruitcorso takes place in the third weekend of September, Appelpop continued to program in the second weekend of September.

The mega tent, used as the main stage, was introduced in 1999. In the 2001 edition, Appelpop attracted an estimated 30,000 visitors spread over two days. In 2009, the tent of the second stage was replaced by an open-air stage to allow more visitors to see the stage. In 2009, thanks in part to a larger terrain and better layout, approximately 170,000 visitors were counted.

In 2020 and 2021, Appelpop did not take place, as a result of the corona pandemic. In 2022, the line-up consisted entirely of Dutch acts to give new talents plenty of space.
