December is putting the cherry on top to an incredible year for concerts and festivals in Belgium. From cosy, intimate gigs to grand stage productions, end of the year offers a vibrant soundtrack for every music lover. Our carefully curated agenda is here to help you make the most of it.
Tom Odell, Big Time Rush, Il Volo or Lambrini Girls are some of the main international stars coming over in December.
Catch the soulful British singer-songwriter Tom Odell—whose piano-driven, emotionally raw pop draws you deep into songs like ‘Another Love’—as he brings his The Wonderful Life Tour to Belgium at the AFAS Dome (Antwerp) on 4 December 2025 (tickets). Meanwhile the beloved American boy-band Big Time Rush (known for their Nickelodeon era hits and high-energy pop) will light up the stage at Brussels’ Forest National on 5 December 2025 (tickets), treating fans to the full nostalgia experience.
From the world of classical-crossover, the Italian vocal trio Il Volo—renowned for their rich operatic pop harmonies—will appear at Forest National on 7 December 2025 (tickets), delivering an elegant, sweeping evening of song. Finally, the Brighton punk duo Lambrini Girls—fierce, direct and politically charged—bring their riot-girl energy to Brussels’ Ancienne Belgique (AB) on 8 December 2025 (tickets), offering a raw contrast and a fresh, rebellious alternative sound.
Belgian talent takes the stage:
One of the biggest voices of this country, the bruxelloise Lara Fabian performs her new songs and all-time French classics at Forest National on 4 December (tickets). If you prefer English-speaking artists, we got you covered and if you do not know them yet, now is a good time! Portland performs at Ancienne Belgique on 8 December (tickets), Warhaus has a residency at Antwerp’s De Roma from 10 to 13 December (tickets) and just before him, Belgium’s 2024 Eurovision entry Mustii will take that stage on 8 December as part of his Maze Tour (tickets).
If you are as open-minded as we are, do not miss the surprising joint double show by Roméo Elvis & Oscar and the Wolf in Ancienne Belgique on 15 and 16 December, performing their individual hits in French and English along with yet-to-be released collaborations like the single ‘Ceiling’, released last Summer (Tickets).
A French affair:
Clara Luciani, Amir and Pierre Garnier are some of the French artists performing in Brussels in December bringing their fresh francophone pop hits to Forest National.
On 2 December you have the chance to experience the soaring pop of Pierre Garnier, the breakout winner of France’s Star Academy whose vibrant debut album ‘Chaque Seconde’ has captivated audiences (tickets). Next up, on 12 December at the same venue, the seductive and richly textured pop of Clara Luciani will take centre-stage — known for her compelling voice, chic style and breakout hits from albums like ‘Sainte-Victoire’ & ‘Cœur’ (tickets). And closing the francophone line-up, on 13 December, Amir brings his radiant, melodic brand of French pop and the new album ‘C Amir’ to the stage delivering a warm, high-energy set (tickets).
Check out these other concerts:
The Music Chapel Festival brings over “The Four Elements – earth, water, air and fire – each with their own sound, energy and colour. On the programme: numerous chamber music concerts and opportunities to cheer on the MuCH Soloists. On 5-6 December in Flagey. Reserve your tickets here.
