Here you can find all the info you need for your dream festival visit. BRDCST will be taking place from 4 to 8 April.
BRDCST will kick off on Thursday with a pre-show from Autechre. Friday will be the first full day of the festival, with performances at the Main Hall, the Club and the church of Notre-Dame aux Riches Claires. On Monday, we will wrap things up with an aftershow by Oneohtrix Point Never. No fewer than 40 artists, DJs, and collectives will be performing at our beloved BRDCST festival this year.
Kurt Overbergh, Curator, BRDCST Festival: “Allow me to offer two suggestions. Don't overlook the church of Notre-Dame aux Riches Claires a stone's throw from AB, boasting an exhilarating program featuring Shovel Dance Collective and Shida Shahabi. Meanwhile, Attila Csihar will perform the live soundtrack for the 1922 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" at our neighbouring arthouse cinema, Palace, for its Belgian premiere.”

Merch and more
Buy exclusive merch or records from artists or take a piece of BRDCST merch home with you. At BRDCST, you will find a carefully curated selection of vinyl by the Antwerp-based Sugar Pie Records. Visit their stand at the festival headquarters (i.e. the Agora) and delve into their crates in between shows.
Food and drinks
Our janitor Willy is also an incredible cook. He will make his homemade chili sin carne for anyone who gets peckish while enjoying BRDCST. You can buy a portion of ‘Chili Willy’ at the Agora from 18:00. But don’t hang about: once it’s gone, it’s gone!
Good news for visitors taking part in Ramadan: there’s no need to forego any concerts for fear of missing Iftar! We will be providing Iftar meals at our Agora. Our wonderful neighbours at Le Palais des Saveurs will be preparing the dishes with love. You can buy food and drinks with AB tokens. Buy them in advance here to ensure speedy service.
Hand in your old phones during BRDCST
Hand in your old mobile phones at the BRDCST merch booth & get a €5 concert voucher per device in return. Together with Recupel, we’re looking to recycle at least 3000 old mobile phones and smartphones. The plan is simple: you exchange your old devices for concert vouchers, while Recupel recovers and recycles the materials.
To BRDCST and back again
Most concerts will take place at the Main Hall or the Club, but there’s also plenty to see in the church of Notre-Dame aux Riches Claires. The church is a two-minute walk from AB, on Rijkeklarenstraat/Rue des Riches Claires 23. On Sunday, Attila Csihar will perform across the road from us at Cinema Palace. All locations are wheelchair accessible.
You can park your bike in the nearby bicycle racks or in the secure indoor bike shed at the Beurs/Bourse metro station. You can also rent a Villo! bike, of course, or store your folding bike at AB. Please note that space is limited.
Use the Event Pass (QR) code on your concert ticket to get a free STIB/MIVB ticket at a GO ticket machine, or use the SNCB/NMBS code on your concert ticket to buy a Bravo! train ticket at half price. On Friday and Saturday night, Noctis buses are available from midnight until 03:00. You can find all the transport information here.
