Under the banner of ‘The Sound Of The Belgian Underground’, Different Class (previously Subbacultcha) and AB gather homegrown musical talent that is active in the margin: bands that focus on artistic freedom and not necessarily on reaching a broad audience.
On Friday 2 February we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Sound Of The Belgian Underground with a line-up containing 10 up-and-coming live acts and 10 DJs, carefully selected by Different Class’ young curators Somto Offor and Florian Meersman. From ecstatic electro-pop to ambient and edgy hip-hop, at The Sound Of The Belgian Underground you receive a sampler of the most interesting homegrown artists.
Join us in celebrating a decade full of musical discovery, at a place where the beat of the Belgian underground music scene will resound louder than ever.
Live acts: Sergeant, Egidius, Lazzaro, Suzan Peeters, Moenen en Mariken, Youniss, Hayek, bontridders, Jo Rwaka & Camille Keller
Performance: Viva Los DJ's
DJ sets: Laura Conant b2b crat, Donia b2b erykah, jujulove b2b Togo, instar b2b Stella K, KIMYA b2b icedlattina
