MusicSufi Morning: Aqnazar Alovatov & Ensemble NavoWith the final notes of Sufi Night still echoing through Bozar's corridors, Aqnazar Alovatov will strike some new ones. Together with Ensemble Navo, he brings traditional music from his homeland, Tajikistan, to Bozar. More than half of this deeply mountainous Central Asian country, situated between Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan, lies over 3,000 metres above sea level. It was at these high altitudes that haunting melodies emerged, with lute-like instruments such as the rubab and setar taking centre stage. Ten years after their last visit, maddoh vocalist Aqnazar Alovatov and Ensemble Navo return to sing us awake during Sufi Morning.Sun 1 Nov · 11:00–12:00Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels
MusicAmelio Trio - ECHO Rising StarJohanna Schubert (violin), Merle Geißler (cello) and Philipp Kirchner (piano) were barely thirteen when they formed the Amelio Trio. The musical friendship between the three German musicians has since taken them to international stages, and their second album is due for release in autumn 2026. A glance at the programme has already whetted our appetite for the recording. From Haydn's forty-five trios, Amelio chose the Piano Trio in F major from 1784-85, composed with meticulous attention to intimate musical enjoyment. Composer and violinist Helena Winkelman has written a new work, especially for the Amelio Trio as part of their inclusion in the ECHO Rising Stars programme. Robert Schumann's Piano Trio No. 3 brings the morning to a close with expressive dialogues between piano, violin and cello. The Amelio Trio has been named a 'Rising Star' for the 2026-27 season by the Kölner Philharmonie, the Barbican Centre, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the Philharmonie du Luxembourg as part of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) network. As well as their performance at Bozar, they will be giving an intimate, acoustic concert for the residents of the Klein Kasteeltje, the reception centre for asylum seekers. After the private concert, there will be time for the artist and the residents to meet, talk and share experiences. In collaboration with Fedasil and Orfeo. With the support of the Van Well van der Snoek Foundation. This concert is suitable for people of all ages. To ensure the best possible experience for both the audience and the artists, we kindly ask you to remain quiet throughout the concert.Sun 1 Nov · 11:00–12:00Bozar - Centre for Fine Arts · Brussels
MusicClassical at the Abbey: Sofie Vanden Eynde & Imago MundiDowland in a new light
The lutenist Sofie Vanden Eynde wishes to make early music resonate within today's society. To this end, she throws, with Imago Mundi, a bridge between different cultures and artistic disciplines. The mezzo-soprano Eugénie De Mey and the Armenian duduk player Vardan Hovanissian accompany her in a deeply human show, "Tears into light", a story of hope and comfort. The laments of the Renaissance mingle, in an intimate meditation, with poetry, contemporary music, and improvisations on the duduk.Sun 1 Nov · 11:00–12:30Dieleghem Abbey · BrusselsFree
MusicMatinée: A day on mourning & griefParfois, nous oublions à quoi ressemblent ces gestes de bienveillance, car nous ne sommes pas toujours conscients de ce que nous perdons. Ou peut-être en sommes-nous justement trop conscients, ce qui a pour conséquence de nous paralyser. Nous perdons des amis, des parents, des frères et sœurs, notre famille, notre communauté, la nature, les animaux, les terres, des populations, des droits, notre identité... Et au même rythme où nous perdons tout cela, nous essayons de vivre, à toute vitesse. Mais continuer à vivre, sans se soucier des autres ni faire son deuil, n’est qu’une vie étrange.AB Lab invite Matinée à organiser une journée consacrée au deuil le dimanche 1er novembre. Nous investirons AB Antenna et AB Salon le temps d’une journée où le repos, la réflexion et la convivialité occuperont une place centrale. Nous vous invitons à passer, à rester, seuls, mais ensemble nous serons.

Through exhibitions, workshops and gatherings, they invite people to come closer, to listen, and to encounter the many voices of Palestine: its artists, makers, young people and creatives, whose lives and work deserve to be seen and heard beyond the headlines.They seek to spark conversation that grows into collective action by building community,live with the dissonance of carrying on through a genocide, mourning while holding on to hope, gather to create, to remember, to share what has been passed down, and to dare to imagine and dream of a liberated future, make room for joy alongside grief, for creation as they witness destruction, and for a culture that refuses to be reduced to the violence and pain inflicted upon it. One day, they hope to give each cause its own space, story by story, because no one is free until everyone is.Sunday 01/11/26 — 14:00 → 21:30Free, without registration.Venue:Sun 1 Nov · 14:00–22:00Ancienne Belgique · Brussels
MusicThe Nights Weekender: Chanel Beads - ear & many moreChanel Beads
Chanel Beads is the project of Shane Lavers, an American musician from the DIY scenes between Seattle and New York, where he develops a sonic writing at the border of experimental and deconstructed pop. Since his beginnings, Chanel Beads has been shaping an unstable language, made of synthetic textures, fragmented voices, and hybrid instrumentations.
Revealed online by tracks like Ef or True Altruism, the project gradually established itself on the margins of the alternative scene, carried by an intimate and disconcerting aesthetic, where traditional forms of the song dissolve in favor of a diffuse emotional narration. This trajectory led him to larger stages, up to opening tours for artists like Lorde.
Avec Your Day Will Come, recorded in a minimal studio in Brooklyn, Chanel Beads continues this exploration of a blurry territory between certainty and doubt, memory and disappearance. Faithful to an instinctive approach to the studio, Shane Lavers favors the moment, the accident, and the direct take, letting the tracks emerge without a filter, in a logic of permanent tension between control and abandonment.
ear
ear is a true collaborative project where each sonic element is born from a constant dialogue between two sensibilities. Anchored in an IDM and experimental approach, the project assembles fragmented textures, unstable rhythms, and mutating soundscapes.
Their music functions like a collage, where electronic experimentation confronts a more intimate, almost sentimental writing, attentive to details and concrete emotions. This tension between abstraction and narration gives their work a dimension that is both cerebral and deeply human.Sun 1 Nov · 14:00Botanique · Brusselsfrom €35.50
MusicDavid Cohen, Aleksey Shadrin & Yibai Chen / Stravinsky, Bartók, Ravel, de Falla & CassadóEvery great composer inherits a spark. Some preserve it; others transform it into something entirely their own. In Borrowed Fire, Aleksey Shadrin, Yibai Chen and David Cohen journey through music shaped by the unique sounds, rhythms and traditions of Italy, Hungary, Romania and Spain—reimagined by some of the twentieth century’s most distinctive musical voices.
Stravinsky transforms music attributed to Pergolesi with wit and brilliance; Bartók turns the raw energy of folk music into exhilarating concert works; and Ravel evokes Spain through the hypnotic sway of the Habanera. The journey then moves south with de Falla’s passionate Spanish songs before culminating in the dazzling virtuosity of Catalan cellist-composer Gaspar Cassadó’s Requiebros. From intimate melodies to irresistible dances and fiery virtuosity, this recital reveals how music can cross borders and generations, continually finding new life in the hands of the next artist.Sun 1 Nov · 14:00Flagey · Brusselsfrom €25
MusicNostalgia In Grand-Place : Vincent Thekal Plays John ColtraneIt would have been unthinkable to let the year 2026 pass without paying tribute to John Coltrane, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on 23 September. A leading figure on the tenor saxophone and in the history of jazz, he first cut his teeth playing with the bands of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. He then established himself as an outstanding composer and innovator with the recording of *Giant Steps* in 1959, a pivotal year during which he also reunited with Miles Davis to take part in the legendary *Kind of Blue*.He subsequently formed his iconic quartet with Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison. With them, he explored new horizons and played a part in the emergence of free jazz, whilst continuing to record gems in a more classical style, such as *Ballads* and *Coltrane Plays the Blues*. In 1964, he released *A Love Supreme*, an absolute masterpiece whose impact would extend far beyond the boundaries of jazz. In this spiritual vein, several major albums would follow on the Impulse! label, right up until his untimely death in 1967, at the age of just 40. His funeral itself was a veritable musical and spiritual journey that will remain forever etched in the history of music.Today, it is the saxophonist Vincent Thekal who takes on this legendary figure. With his rich, full sound – capable of filling our club like no other – and backed by a band hand-picked for the occasion, he will do justice to “Trane” with as much passion as he does respect.Sun 1 Nov · 16:00Toots Jazz Club · Brussels
MusicClosing Concert: From Bach to Harry Potter – Brussels Cello Festival 2026From the dramatic opening of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue to the magical world of Harry Potter, the Brussels Cello Festival goes out with a bang in a closing concert filled with music you know and love.

After the interval, the stage fills with cellos as Festival artists and young talents come together in the Brussels Cello Festival Orchestra. Villa-Lobos, Morricone’s beloved Gabriel’s Oboe, Márquez’s irresistible Danzón No. 2 and Elgar’s moving Nimrod lead to Blaise Déjardin’s playful Aquarela do Violoncelo. And for those listening especially closely, one final musical surprise awaits… how many familiar tunes will you recognise?

MusicJim Snidero QuartetIt is a real privilege to welcome Jim Snidero to Toots.

As a bandleader, he has released no fewer than 27 albums.

MusicPusciferPuscifer, the multi-faceted collective centred around Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell and Carina Round, are coming to Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on 2 November as part of their ‘Normal Isn’t Tour’. The band are celebrating the release of their first new album in over five years. Written and recorded in Arizona, Los Angeles and on the road during the Sessanta tour, ‘Normal Isn’t’ combines dark electronica and sharp humour with the rawer, more spontaneous approach for which Puscifer is known. The album delves deeper into the band members’ post-punk and goth influences, whilst opting for a rawer, more direct and guitar-driven sound. “We’re consciously drawing on our early influences,” says Keenan. “It’s where goth and punk meet; that’s where I come from.”Puscifer remains a unique entity within the alternative music scene: a collective that brings together music, performance and visual art into a total experience. The band has played at major festivals such as Coachella and Bonnaroo, sold out venues worldwide and collaborated with artists such as Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Phantogram and Sir Mix-A-Lot.

MusicElegia BrasilisElegia Brasilis - Weeping of a Baroque Brazil
This concert proposes to showcase two major figures of sacred music in late 18th-century Brazil who are nevertheless largely unknown in Europe: José Maurício Nunes García (1767 — 1830) and Emerico Lobo de Mesquita (1746 — 1805).
Both of these composers, of mixed race and from working-class backgrounds, held prominent positions (choirmaster, organist, conductor) in the major religious institutions of their time: the cathedral of Rio de Janeiro for one, the tertiary orders of Carmel de Diamantina and Ouro Preto for the other.
Their music, written for the liturgy and major festivals, bears the imprint of a language that was resolutely modern for its era.
The Elegia Brasilis program aims to rescue this repertoire from European oblivion and ignorance, and questions a little-known reality: one where Afro-descendant composers, in a colonial and slave-owning country, were able to attain high functions and leave a strong musical imprint there.
The program proposes to create a dialogue between these two voices—that of the capital, Rio, and that of the lands of gold and diamonds of Minas Gerais—centered around the major forms of funeral and penitential music.Mon 2 Nov · 20:30–21:45Église Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon · Brusselsfrom €10

MusicPeetPierre Mignon – also known as Docteur Peet, Docteur Love, Supra Bawler or Peet for short – is one of the most authentic voices in the Brussels rap world. He became known as a member of the Le 77 collective and he is now walking his own impressive path solo. He’s a typical DIY musician: the rapper slash beatmaker prefers to record everything himself in his own studio.He has a unique style laced with humour, melancholy and realism, and he manages to bridge the gap between personal experiences and the daily lives of an entire generation effortlessly. His lyrics are honest, raw and poetic – a mirror of the city, life and himself.In late 2023, he appeared at AB to introduce his album Todo Bien and tore the house down. Since then, he has dropped a new album: À demain, his second album in two years. Following on from Todo Bien with its summery afterparty vibe, the season changes too. The fresh breeze of this spring that never really started fits perfectly with the intimate atmosphere of his new project.The whole thing feels like a low-tempo journey without speeding tickets, somewhere between the poppy Motel 8 and a bossa-jazzy Samba, evoking memories of a trip to South America in 2012.Live, Peet certainly has nothing more to prove: every concert is a party thanks to his unique talent, humour and the excellent musicians who back him.Don’t wait until demain to buy a ticket. Ça va être mignon, c'est promis !Fri 6 Nov · 19:00–22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brusselsfrom €29
MusicWater DamageThere’s something truly special about drone-based music. Whether it’s the vocals of Pandit Pran Nath, the ARP 2500 of Éliane Radigue, or the nearly blown-out amplifiers of Sunn O))), by shifting the listener’s focus from details toward the flow, drones have a unique ability to transport our minds far, far away.The music of Water Damage, the loud droning collective from Austin, is a damn fine example of how that process works. With the motto “Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation,” Water Damage creates glowing waves of drones that completely carry you along.The members are all veterans of various projects: Spray Paint, Black Eyes, USA/Mexico, more eaze, Thor & Friends, Marriage, Swans, SUR, Astral Spirits Records… Their approach to form is less frontal than that of many of their contemporaries, and the surface of their sound is sometimes disrupted by auditory events that are not exactly drone-like. But the main body is usually a blend of harmonic tones and textures pointing toward a goal just out of earshot, just beyond the next hill, and perhaps forever out of reach.Christina Carter (°1968, Houston) is a co-founder of Charalambides and has developed a distinct and deeply personal sound using voice, guitar, harmonica, and piano. Her work combines improvisation with an exploration of song and the importance of lyrics. She has performed extensively in the US, UK, and Europe and has collaborated with, among others, Jeffrey Alexander and Loren Connors.In addition to music, she is active as a poet and visual artist, with publications and exhibitions. In 2024, her book For Want Of Walls was released. Her recent album is Like A Bayou To Its Gulf (2025).Jeffrey Alexander (°1968, Baltimore) is a prolific psychedelic musician with countless releases and collaborations.

Musically, he focuses on free improvisation and collaborations. His current project Heavy Lidders features contributions from Marissa Nadler and members of Animal Collective.His latest record includes vocals by Christina Carter, who will also join the tour.His solo work is minimalist and subdued, yet remains rooted in psychedelic exploration.Fri 6 Nov · 19:00–22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brusselsfrom €18

In an in-depth biography and analysis of Cohen’s oeuvre, he highlights the different facets of the artist. Together with Klara-presenter and Cohen-fan Lies Steppe, he discusses Cohen’s writing, love life, struggle with drugs, fascination for religion and his philosophical and poetic work. writer Troubadour, philosopher, ladies’ man, Buddhist monk, painter, dandy: Leonard Cohen wore many hats and wore each with equal style, but the writer’s hat suited him best. He wrote novels and poetry long before he released his first album in 1967, and his song lyrics deserve their own place in world literature. biographer Christophe Lebold is an expert in American literature and got to know Leonard Cohen personally. In The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall , he has written the definitive biography of the modern bard, one in which he offers an erudite analysis of Cohen’s work.

MusicThe ClockworksScreens everywhere, connection nowhere. On their second album The Entertainment, The Clockworks dissects a society that is addicted to technology and increasingly distant.After a breakthrough period with their debut Exit Strategy and long tours with the likes of Pixies and Johnny Marr, the four opted for a radical approach: months of seclusion in order to work on music.

A DIY spirit, spontaneous energy, and a low tolerance for boredom form the recipe of the duo founded by Jens Moelle and Ismail Tüfekçi, who aim to capture the zeitgeist.
From the explosive debut EP "Idealistic" (2005), where compressed synth riffs answer Moelle's plaintive vocals, to "Idealism", their first album two years later which propelled them to the summit of electro-house, all the way to their 2023 tribute to their roots with the EP "Back To Haus", Digitalism has never stopped moving forward.
Drawing inspiration just as much from Daft Punk as Ennio Morricone, as Philippe Zdar and John Williams, passing through The Cure, Digitalism is always driven by this musical fusion, where barriers are absent and the DIY energy remains prevalent.Sat 7 Nov · 19:30Botanique · Brusselsfrom €27.65

MusicIbex Band: 50th Anniversary of Stereo Instrumental MusicIbex Band (ET) must surely be one of het most influential bands in Ethiopian music history. The musical driving force of the band, guitarist Selam ‘Selamino’ Seyoum Woldemariam – often described as the Ethiopian Jimi Hendrix – and bassist Giovanni Rico, worked together on about 200 albums(!) and recorded an estimated 2,500 songs(!) in the ‘70s and ‘80s. However: the vast majority of these were simply lost over the years. By the way, both musicians formed the musical backbone of Ethiopian icons such as Mulatu Astatke (who appeared at AB in 2025 on his farewell tour), singer Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Aweke, “Ethiopian gem” Girma Beyene and Tilahun Gessesse. Fortunately, in 2025, Swedish label Muzikawi re-released their 1976 classic Stereo Instrumental Music. Their mission? “We create and share the finest of Ethiopian music with the world.” That has certainly proved true, and with wonderful repercussions. Music magazine Uncut praised Ibex Band with a full-page 8/10 review and The Quietus described the album as “a unique document of the vibrant Ethiopian music scene of the 1970s”. Spurred on by the rave reviews, the itch to perform returned and Ibex Band decided to hit the road once more.Anyone wanting to take a delicious deep dive into the exceptional Ibex Band story, can head to internet-radio NTS where this two-part series was dedicated to them.Tue 3 Nov · 19:00–22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brusselsfrom €20

MusicARLO PARKSArlo Parks goes back on tour with the ‘Desire Tour'! The London singer, producer, and poet will stop over in Belgium, on Tuesday, November 3 at Cirque Royal de Bruxelles. While her new album ‘Ambiguous Desire' will be released on April 3, this concert is an unmissable appointment to experience live the most vulnerable, confident, and euphoric songs that Arlo Parks has written to date.
Thanks to her distinctive mix of raw lyrics and striking vocal melodies, Arlo Parks was propelled to the rank of « voice of her generation » upon the release of her first album ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams' in 2021. The same year, she won a Mercury Music Prize, established herself as « Breakthrough Artist » at the Brit Awards, and secured nominations at the Grammy Awards and Ivor Novello Awards. In 2022, she performed opening acts for Billie Eilish and Harry Styles and was invited to play on the stages of the prestigious Coachella and Glastonbury. Her second album, ‘My Soft Machine', on which appears a collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers, led her to continue performing around the world, including a acclaimed concert at Ancienne Belgique in 2023. At the beginning of April, Arlo Parks will unveil her highly anticipated third album, ‘Ambiguous Desire'. Drawing from a mosaic of influences, from the queer hedonism of Paradise Garage de New York to the nocturnal and melancholic rhythms of the British The Streets and Burial, passing through the electronic and sparkling catharsis of LCD Soundsystem and the house grooves of Theo Parrish, ‘Ambiguous Desire' shows Arlo Parks at her peak in terms of confidence and experimentation. Soundtrack of an unbridled self-expression, this album is a work full of joie de vivre, signed by one of the freest voices of the music scene. Absolutely to be discovered live on November 3 at Cirque Royal!

MusicThe Ex Brass Unbound + Rempis/Adasiewicz/CorsanoThe Ex & Brass UnboundNo band embodies the spirit of punk quite like The Ex (°1979). What began as socially charged noise, rooted in squatter and punk ideology, developed into a phenomenon that is impossible to define. “Forward in all directions” is their credo, resulting in dozens of releases, more than 2000 concerts worldwide and a formidable live reputation.There too, they do their own thing: no light show, no cheap gimmicks, no spectacle, no false compliments, no empty promises, no posturing and certainly no best-of round. Only new music. For The Ex, punk has always been about independence, innovation and discovery.The list of musicians that they’ve collaborated with – from Tom Cora and Thurston Moore to Getatchew Mekuria – speaks volumes. The Ex is a thirsty sponge for diverse inspirations and a generator of ideas. A way of being in the world, an ode to vitality and an outstretched hand.Now they’re hitting the road again, with Brass Unbound: each and every one a heavyweight of improv music. Ken Vandermark, Mats Gustafsson and Roy Paci have already appeared previously. Now they’re joined by young, female talent: Hanne De Backer, Signe Emmeluth and Guro Kvåle.Ten musicians who seek out risk and excitement, and steer well clear of clichés and nostalgia. Punk as fuck.Rempis, Adasiewicz, Corsano Reed player Dave Rempis is not only one of Chicago’s leading musicians, he is also a tireless tornado of sound and a fearlessly free improviser who has already appeared alongside The Ex in the past. Jason Adasiewicz has been one of his permanent companions for years, an adventurer who also dives into the deep end without blinders and became the favourite vibraphonist of the late Peter Brötzmann.Octopus Chris Corsano is one of the most highly acclaimed drummers in the experimental music world, whether playing aside Björk or Bill Orcutt. On his first trio album Dial Up (2025) you can hear a world of possibilities. Live, their impassioned interaction develops to potentially hallucinatory proportions.Wed 4 Nov · 19:00–22:30Ancienne Belgique · Brusselsfrom €28

MusicMike D 5DHaving made music history with the Beastie Boys, Mike D 5D is now embarking on a brand-new chapter. This summer, the artist is releasing his very first solo album, ‘Thank You’. He’ll be presenting it live during a major international tour, which will also be stopping off in our country!For over forty years, Michael Louis Diamond – better known as Mike D and, more recently, Mike D 5D – has been bringing colour to pop music. He grew up in Manhattan, surrounded by rock, soul, punk, reggae and hip-hop. That eclectic mix led to the formation of the legendary Beastie Boys, alongside Adam Yauch (MCA) and Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock). With their cult albums, the trio sold millions of records. They won several Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. In doing so, they left an indelible mark on rap and alternative culture.

MusicThe ObsessedScott “Wino” Weinrich is a living legend. He’s always been a rebel, loner and an outsider in an outsider scene, pursuing his music without regard for popularity or acceptance. In the process, he came to be considered one of the early pioneers of American doom. All of this began when he founded THE OBSESSED back in the 70s, then pursued through his many other outfits such as Saint Vitus or Spirit Caravan. As a key part of the 80s Washington/Maryland music scene, his music earned the respect of metal, punk and crossover fans alike while often being dubbed doom metal. Looking back, it was just gritty, street-wise American metal with a cynical bent and psychedelic flair, and this is what made him the unique and timeless heavy music icon he is today.
THE OBSESSED was formed in the late 1970s in Potomac, Maryland by Scott “Wino” Weinrich. The earliest lineup consisted of Wino, bassist Mark Laue, guitarist John Reese, and drummer Dave Flood. In 1983, Wino took over vocal duties and the band became a three-piece to record the Sodden Jackal EP. The band broke up in the late 80s after Wino moved to California to join Saint Vitus. After multiple lineup changes, the band signed to Columbia Records in 1994 to release their third and final album, The Church Within. Despite highly acclaimed reviews, they would break up following the release, seeing Wino forming Spirit Caravan and other projects.
In September 2011, THE OBSESSED returned to the stage at Roadburn Festival with The Church Within‘s lineup of Wino, Greg Rogers, and Guy Pinhas. The band played a few more reunion shows over the next couple of years. Wino announced the full-time return of the band in March 2016 and the band’s signing to Relapse Records to record the follow-up to The Church Within. On October 31st, 2016, Wino announced a new lineup change, including Bruce Falkinburg (bass) and Seraphim (guitar).
In 2017, THE OBSESSED unleashed Sacred, the band’s first studio album in over twenty years. After a few years on the road, the lineup stabilized around Brian Costantino on drums, Chris Angleberger on bass, Jason Taylor on guitar, and Scott "Wino" Weinrich. The band is now ready to release their fifth album "Gilded Sorrow", in February 2024 as part of their collaboration with Ripple Music.
THE OBSESSED comes back with their album "Gilded Sorrow", to be released on February 16th, 2024 through Ripple Music. Expanded to a 4-piece with the addition of Jason Taylor on guitar, the music is more aggressive and straightforward.
"Gilded Sorrow" was produced by Frank Marchand, Scott "Wino" Weinrich and Jason Taylor. Mixed and engineered by Frank Marchand and mastered by Alan Douches. "Gilded Sorrow" will be available on vinyl, CD and digital on February 16th, 2024 through Ripple Music.Thu 5 Nov · 19:30Botanique · Brusselsfrom €22.50

MusicFINKThe British group Fink is back with a new album scheduled for June 5 and a new international tour. They will come to present their new opus ‘The City Is Coming to Erase It All' on Monday, November 9, 2026 at Cirque Royal de Bruxelles. Angela Autumn will accompany them as an opening act.
Originally formed by Fin Greenall, Fink released their first album in 2006 on Ninja Tune, a renowned independent label with which the group collaborated for the following thirteen years. Thanks to its unique mix of folk, blues, electronic music, and intimate lyrics, Fink has built an international community of fans and performs tirelessly around the world. Throughout his career, his music has been widely highlighted in flagship films and television series, notably Selma, The Walking Dead, and Better Call Saul. Fink has also collaborated with John Legend on the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning film 12 Years a Slave, and worked with artists such as Amy Winehouse, Bonobo, and many others. On June 5 will be released the ninth studio album of Fink, ‘The City Is Coming to Erase It All', successor to their greatest success in the British charts, ‘Beauty In Your Wake' (2024). Strongly inspired by Michael Chapman, the group set themselves the challenge of imagining a record that the British folk singer could have recorded in the 70s, right down to the choice of guitar strings. After more than 20 years of career and countless concerts, Fin Greenall, Tim Thornton, and Guy Whittaker retain the same thirst for discovery and the same pleasure in surpassing themselves on stage. They will demonstrate it once again on November 9 at Cirque Royal.

They were raised in classical, gospel, and jazz, with artists like Pat Metheny, Marvin Gaye, The Winans Family, and many others.
In 2016, the group was signed to Roc Nation by Jay-Z, who advised them not to conform to the label's artistic culture, but rather to let the artistic culture of Roc Nation catch up with them. 4 years later, in 2020, the siblings made people talk about them with their first album “Mad Love” and several viral videos that accumulated millions of views on all social networks, attracting the attention and support of some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
With such excitement around their next project, Infinity Song is ready to continue to consolidate its place in the space where quality music is created in today's culture.Tue 10 Nov · 19:30Botanique · Brusselsfrom €25.50

MusicWestside CowboyYou can’t plan for everything. When Jimmy Bradbury asked Reuben Haycocks, Paddy Murphy and Aoife Anson-O’Connell if they fancied starting a band called Westside Cowboy, none of them had a plan. A couple of years, a clutch of singles, a killer live reputation and a deal with Island Records’ Adventure Recordings later, they’ve become one of the UK’s most exciting new acts.
The four members met in Manchester. Reuben (guitar, vocals), Paddy (drums) and Aoife (bass, vocals) were music students, and Jimmy (guitar, vocals) worked at Johnny Roadhouse after graduating. Their earlier projects had grown too complex and draining, so Westside Cowboy arrived at the right time. Inspired by Billy Bragg’s Roots, Radicals and Rockers, they embraced a DIY spirit and wrote their debut EP This Better Be Something Great in just two weeks. Songs like ‘Alright Alright Alright’ and ‘I Never Met Anyone I Thought I Could Really Love (Until I Met You)’ captured a raw, joyful energy.
Their sound, “Britainicana”, blends classic British songwriting (The La’s, Lonnie Donegan, Lennon) with American alt-rock (Pavement, The Replacements, Pixies). Early gigs in Manchester built buzz fast. Demos spread, labels took notice, and they signed with Nice Swan and Heist or Hit. Produced by Lewis Whiting (English Teacher), the EP’s release in 2025 followed breakout sets at The Great Escape and Glastonbury, leading to tours with Blondshell, Black Country, New Road and Ezra Furman.
Alongside their rise, they co-founded No Band Is An Island, a collective uniting indie artists for political and social action. “It’s about building community and using it positively,” says Aoife. The project channels their frustration with global injustices into collective accountability rather than nihilism.
In just two years, Westside Cowboy have gone from a spontaneous idea to a major-label act. Humble but driven, they aim to make music “for everyone”, not just for cool scenes, but for parents, grandparents and kids alike.
For a band that started without a plan, Westside Cowboy have quickly worked out exactly who they are.Thu 12 Nov · 19:30Botanique · Brusselsfrom €22.50

MusicNESNeS turns his passion for rap into a discipline, a way to overcome his doubts and deliver cathartic, sincere, and demanding music. Originaire du Val-de-Marne, he established himself very early on as one of the most striking hopes of his generation thanks to a singular proposal, driven by raw authenticity, a honed technique inherited from freestyle, and a pronounced taste for sound exploration. It all begins with writing, then with a creative and solid entourage that encourages him to transform his emotions into rhymes. At only 17 years old, he unveils his first mixtape N.E.S Vol 1, propelled by the track Compresses, which reveals a rapper capable of combining 90s rap influences with contemporary codes.
After COSMIC, a true turning point in his artistic evolution, NeS accelerates with LACOURSE in 2022, the breakout project, defended on stage during sold-out tours across France. This momentum is confirmed with ÇA VA ALLER then POUR 2 VRAI, where he asserts a more introspective writing style without ever giving up performance and formal rigor. Between controlled ego trips and personal confidences, NeS recounts his family and friendly ties, his origins, and his desires for elsewhere, while refining a more legible and embodied musical identity. Supported by a solid artistic entourage (Yvnnis, Luther, Mairo, Zeu, Deemax...) and carefully chosen collaborations, he continues a trajectory marked by the search for balance, giving all space to words and emotion: that of an artist in full maturation, determined to make music from the heart, faithful to himself.Fri 13 Nov · 19:30Botanique · Brusselsfrom €23.50
