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.

Expect no lecture, but a live conversation full of sharp observations, brilliant timing and opinions that pull no punches. Lebowitz talks about everything on her mind: from social conventions and tourists to technology, modern behavior and the small absurdities of daily life. With her unique mix of sarcasm, humor and intellectual elegance she dissects the world like only she can. And yes, there is room for questions from the audience… if you dare.Over Fran LebowitzFor more than forty years Fran Lebowitz has been a cult figure within American culture. She started as a columnist for Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine and broke through with her essay collections Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, which established her reputation as one of the sharpest social commentators of her generation.Her dry humor and uncompromising gaze made her a welcome guest in talk shows and films, and led to multiple collaborations with Martin Scorsese — including the HBO documentary Public Speaking and the Emmy-nominated Netflix series Pretend It’s a City.In addition to her literary work, Lebowitz is known for her sense of style, her outspoken aversion to modern conventions and her ability to make an entire room roar with laughter with a single sentence.

Of love & fresh waterExhibitionOf love & fresh waterD’amour & d’eau fraîche is a photographic series created by Clair Bravo (1999, France) within seven rural queer communities in France. The project questions the notions of belonging, visibility, intimacy, and collective life in territories often associated with conservative or heteronormative imaginaries. These communities constitute spaces of resistance, solidarity, and collective invention. Here, photography contributes to the construction of common imaginaries, to the transmission of minority experiences, and to the invention of desirable futures. The texts that accompany the images were written by the people photographed, multiplying the points of view and sharing the authority of the narrative. Presented on silk, the photographs become objects whose lightness and mobility favor flexible circulation, outside of established frameworks.

With an extensive discography and horror-themed music videos, Lesbian Bed Death combines gothic punk with metal for an energetic live show that music critics have described as ‘a female Alice Cooper, a mix of The Misfits and Creeper’. Their theatrical stage show includes custom-made medusa effects, a custom microphone stand in the shape of a skeleton snake, and horror backdrops. Lesbian Bed Death has toured extensively through Verenigd Koninkrijk and parts of Europe, with a mix of their own headline tours and support acts for bands like The Birthday Massacre and Aurelio Voltaire during their recent UK tours. In addition, Lesbian Bed Death has played at numerous independent music festivals, such as Whitby Goth Weekend, Rockmantic, Breaking Bands (as headliner), and Call Of The Wild. Lesbian Bed death makes their long-awaited debut in Belgium and what better place than Snuffel Hostel in Bruges… Subatomic Strangers ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Subatomic Strangers is an alternative rock band with a firm 80s sound. In recent years, they have proven to conquer many a stage effortlessly. With floating guitar riffs, tight bass lines, and groovy drums, they open a gate to another dimension. After the release of their album ‘Special Satellite’ in 2022, things went fast. They were the support act for Bazart and Oscar And The Wolf at the Sportpaleis. Two UK tours followed, as well as a show in Hamburg. In 2025, they played at quite a few festivals, including Grensrock, where they shared the bill with Compact Disk Dummies and De Mens. At the end of 2025, their second album ‘Resuwrecked’ was released, with an accompanying tour through Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2026, it is the turn of other countries, including France and the UK. Over the years, there have been changes in the band.

A film that begins scorching hot, but feels refreshing afterwards. The 76-year-old Vicente has been leading a carefree life for many years as an openly homosexual man in touristic Maspalomas on Gran Canaria. Everything changes when he suffers a stroke and is forced to return to San Sebastián. In the conservative rehabilitation center where he ends up, Vicente finds himself forced to give up everything he has fought so hard for. A tender, emotional, and intimate character study full of humor and warmth about an older queer character. A film that gives pause for thought about the vulnerability and limitation of acquired rights. Can old age or physical setbacks push you back into the closet? What if you lose not only your independence, but also your identity and freedom to be carefree who you are? Acteur José Ramón Soroiz rightly won the Goya for Beste Hoofdrol for his wonderful performance, which brought to life not only his character's loss and uncertainty, but also the humor, strength, and perseverance of a man facing the hardest journey of his life: his rehabilitation. Winnaar Goya for best actor.Mon 9 Nov · 20:00–21:55cc Het Bolwerk - schouwburg · VilvoordeFree The LibrariansCinemaThe LibrariansIn 2021, Matt Krause, a member of Congress from Texas, distributed a list of 850 books that he claimed were harmful to young readers. The list appeared to be largely focused on queer themes and race issues. Shortly after, the governor of Texas demanded the immediate removal of all these books from school libraries – and other states quickly followed. The result: a terrifying culture war, in which librarians appear to be the last line of defense. Conservative America's culture war against diversity is also being fought in school libraries. The documentary 'The Librarians', which premiered at Sundance, brings (former) library employees and sympathizers out of the shadows and before the camera in their joint struggle against book banning. A hallucinatory portrait of a modern witch hunt, and an urgent warning against censorship and blind obedience. Using archival footage and new testimonies, Oscar-nominated director Kim A. Snyder ('Death By Numbers') exposes how censorship has become part of a broader political campaign to take over control of school boards.Tue 10 Nov · 17:00–21:00Cultuurcentrum Zwaneberg · Heist-op-den-BergFree Coming home - Sam BettensMusicComing home - Sam BettensPerhaps it was his 15-year stay in East Tennessee, including several years as a full-time firefighter, that made this transition from alternative rock to Americana so effortless. He is also still one half of K's Choice, the band with which he has been traveling the world with his brother since he was nineteen. With international hits like 'Not an Addict' and 'Believe', K's Choice quickly established itself at the top of the international alternative rock scene. But even K's Choice had its Americana and melancholic singer-songwriter moments, and it is wonderful to see that side of Bettens in the spotlight now.

He tells about transsexual clownfish, lesbian albatrosses, homosexual gorillas, and the tomboys of our moles. And he describes the sexual diversity in our own species.
