Festival Programme

Vive La Fête


The ultimate live party band that electrified the Belgian music scene with their irresistible blend of chanson, kitsch pop, new wave, and electro is hitting the road again. After years of anticipation, they return with brand new music and a sizzling new tour: Les Sauvages.

With timeless tracks like Maquillage, Touche pas, and Noir Désir, and the breakthrough success of Nuit Blanche, the band solidified their place at the top of the electroclash movement, playing stages and festivals around the world.

Vive La Fête is back with a bang.

Brass Rave Unit


Fuses acid house, trance, and techno—but forget the clinical precision of machines. Every beat is played live: raw, organic, handcrafted. From a breakout moment at Glastonbury 2019 to spontaneous raves in New York subways and sweat-soaked nights in Dutch venues, Brass Rave Unit has become a force of collective experience.

In the hands of Dirk, Ko, and Bo, music doesn’t sit still.

The Subs


Belgium’s electro force, welcomes you with a new sound palette that bends genres and blows minds. Think new wave-drenched electro, retro synth pop anthems, and bursts of gabber-fueled rave energy—all packed into one unforgettable live experience.

Their breakout hit, Kiss My Trance, was more than a track—it was a manifesto.

I want to dance again!

Young Boy Dance Group


The internationally known performance collective uses dance as a form of resistance, care, and radical expression. Founded on principles of collaboration, vulnerability, and bodily autonomy, their work challenges traditional norms of masculinity and embraces fluidity in identity and movement.

Whether in clubs, galleries, or open public space, YBDG creates temporary zones of freedom where bodies speak loudly without words.

It’s not just dance—it’s a statement,
a protest!

Aérosculpture


Long before daring to invent wings, humans were captivated by the mysteries above the clouds.
What’s happening up there?
What might it feel like to touch the sky? This fascination sparked endless imaginations. And for the rational mind, perhaps the simplest idea was a ladder—with more and more rungs—reaching endlessly upward.

This poetic quest takes shape in Aérosculpture by Jean-Pierre David:
a lightweight, ephemeral installation that climbs into the sky, as high as the weather permits.

Close-Act Theater


The giants are back…

Presumed extinct, the largest beasts ever to walk the Earth return with thunderous roars and towering presence. These life-sized Sauruses storm into the 21st century, charging through the crowds in search of food. Panic turns to laughter when it’s revealed—thankfully—they’re plant-eaters. Vegetarians!

As they munch on greenery, curiosity takes over. People dare to inch closer to these majestic, playful creatures. The Sauruses snap gently at hands, swing their tails with flair, and engage with the crowd in spontaneous moments of wonder.

Colourscape


A large-scale, breathtaking inflatable sculpture made up of interconnected, vividly coloured chambers, illuminated entirely by natural daylight. As you wander through its labyrinth of glowing spaces, you’ll experience colour in ways you’ve never imagined—intense, subtle, immersive. Visitors wear cloaks of primary colours that shift in hue as they move, becoming part of the living artwork.

This year hosted by Nadia Bakhshi and Amanda Payne.

& Amanda Payne


Two governesses guide you through a shifting playground of sound, memory, and myth inside the Colourscape installation. Summoning forgotten rhymes and invented folklore, they lead mystical creatures—audience, self, child—through portals of transformation.

In this absurd yet urgent sonic ritual, wordless vocalizations and fractured folk melodies blend with electronic textures and looping rhythms. 

Clapping games, chants, and playful repetition invite the audience to join the ritual of becoming.

Motus Sonus is an interdisciplinary project exploring the intersection of movement and sound.

Together, they investigate how sonic and somatic experiences intertwine, transforming space through responsive and intuitive actions.

The Motus Sonus unfolds as a living dialogue between rhythm and motion—blurring the boundaries between what we hear, see, and feel.
