The last Saturday of July in Koksijde is dedicated to the magic of nostalgic live music. De Tijdloze Tribute Festival (Zomerarena Koksijde) brings an evening full of recognition, emotion, and top musical quality, with tributes to some of the greatest icons in music history. A collaboration between Gemeente Koksijde, Show-Time, and the VRT.
4 exceptional tribute bands bring an immersive ode to ABBA, The Beatles, Dire Straits, and Tina Turner.
More than just a concert, De Tijdloze is a total experience. The evening is festively concluded with De Tijdloze Dansant, an afterparty full of indestructible classics and timeless dance floor hits, led by a special guest. An invitation to let everything go one more time and dance into the night together.
