Brussels Music Agenda: Concerts, festivals and other music events in November

November is looking VERY good for live music in Belgium! Five artists we’re especially excited to see this month: Arlo Parks, Tove Lo, Jessie Ware, LP and MUNA. From irresistible pop and dancefloor anthems to powerful vocals and indie-pop energy, November is bringing some seriously exciting names to Belgian stages.

Belgian talent is on display with an impressive range of shows across the country like the likes of Portland’s dreamy indie pop and Pyo’s fresh alternative sound to Mahina’s soulful universe, Belgium’s music scene is showing off its diversity with a very special highlight: Lara Fabian, one of Belgium’s most internationally celebrated voices, returns to the stage with the powerful vocals and timeless songs that have marked her remarkable career.

Brussels is preparing to welcome one of its most ambitious new cultural landmarks.
