Live music in Belgium
Concert venues in Belgium
From the Ancienne Belgique and the Botanique to Trix, Vooruit and Het Depot: the venues that carry Belgian live music, with what makes each of them different.
The stages to know
Antwerpen
De Roma
A former cinema on the Turnhoutsebaan in Borgerhout, now a venue with a theatre hall for concerts, from world music and rock to cabaret.
AFAS Dome (Sportpaleis)
Antwerp's arena in Merksem, still called the Sportpaleis by most Belgians. It is where the biggest tours and the long runs of Flemish stars play, with the Lotto Arena next door.
Ancienne Belgique
The music hall on the Anspachlaan, one of Belgium's best-known concert venues. The main hall, built around wooden balconies, is where touring bands play their Brussels date, and the smaller ABClub is where many of them started.
Brussel
Cirque Royal
A circus building from the nineteenth century in the centre of Brussels, turned concert hall: a round room where the seats look down on the stage.
Botanique
The cultural centre in the old greenhouses of the botanical garden in Saint-Josse. The Orangerie and the Rotonde are the rooms for rock, pop and chanson, and in May the Nuits Botanique festival fills the whole complex.
Antwerpen
Trix
A Borgerhout venue with a main hall and a smaller club hall, for new names, indie, electronic and metal.
Antwerpen
Lotto Arena
The mid-sized arena next to the Sportpaleis, opened in 2007, for acts that are too big for a club and do not need the full arena.
Brugge
Cactus Club
Bruges' music centre, with a club on the Bargeweg for rock, indie, jazz and world music, and the organiser of the Cactusfestival.
Vooruit
The arts centre in Ghent's former socialist festival hall from 1913, now called VIERNULVIER. Its concert hall is where Flemish and international bands play in front of a standing crowd; the building itself is still known as Vooruit.
Leuven
Het Depot
A club in the heart of Leuven, on the square by the railway station, for indie, rock, hip-hop and electronic nights.
