The 10th and final edition of this wonderful cooperation between downtown AB and uptown Botanique, not quite Flemish, not quite Francophone, but somewhere in between, occupying a special status in the unique context of Brussels. Have a look below, especially at the start of the lists, which artists we have helped ‘over the linguistic border’ over the last ten years, something we really believe in.
The ABBota formula will bow out gracefully, but AB and Bota will still work together to offer you the best of Belgium, e.g. La Smala at the AB this spring and Admiral Freebee at the Cirque Royal (Botanique). All the best and Cheers!
