Live music in Belgium
Free concerts and gigs
You don't need a ticket for a great night out. Cafés, open stages, city festivals and record shops put on free concerts all year, and many music venues have a free door on weeknights.
Where free music happens
Free
Open stages and jams
Cafés and small music venues hold weekly open podiums and jam sessions, often on a weeknight, where anyone can step up and the audience is the room.
Free
Free city festivals
Summer brings free festivals in city streets, parks and squares: the Gentse Feesten in Ghent, the free concerts of the Brussels Jazz Weekend and many more.
Free
Café bands and free entry
Some cafés put a band on every weekend and pass a hat instead of selling tickets. Look for 'gratis inkom' or 'gratis toegang' in the listing.
Free
In-store sets
Record shops and libraries host free in-store sets when an album comes out. They are small, and they fill up, so arrive early.
