BATTLE OF THE HAT - BEATBOX BATTLE

Hey beatboxers, music lovers, and friends of the community! Welcome to the annual edition of Battle of the Hat, our beloved Gentse Feesten tradition held in memory of our friend B-Flow. Last year, G-Lord successfully defended the Hat and claimed victory for the second time. The question is: can he make it a legendary hattrick, or will someone else rise to the occasion and earn the right to wear the most prestigious hat in Belgian beatboxing for the next year? For those who don't know: Battle of the Hat is all about fun, friendship, and celebrating our community. There is no prize money, no contracts, and no fame to be won. Only something far more valuable: honour, glory, and the eternal respect of your peers. The Hat remains our symbol, our trophy, and our tribute. Every year it changes hands, carrying another chapter of the Belgian beatbox story. Schedule (subject to minor changes): 🎤 18:00 – Eliminations 🎤 20:00 – Main Battles Whether you're competing or just coming to enjoy the show, we'd love to see you there. Bring your friends. Or even better, convince them to step on stage and join the battle themselves! Want to participate? Send an email to info@cafedamberd.be and make sure to include: * Your artist name * Your phone number 📍 Café Damberd – Korenmarkt, Ghent 📅 Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026 Important: This event takes place during the Gentse Feesten.

See you in the circle.
