ORGANISATIE

Listen Festival is a Brussels-wide celebration of music with a variety of events in iconic locations. With sounds spanning from Indie over House to Drum-'n-bass and from Techno to all-round global sounds, Listen is connecting the dots regardless of musical style and orientation. 

Each year Listen explores the diversity of our city’s alternative music scene within its multi-venue city festival format. Landmark locations like Central Station, North Station, Cinquantenaire Tunnels and many more stand along-side venues like Fuse, C12 and UMI. 

This year Listen celebrates its 10th anniversary on Saturday 21st of November with a new 24+++ hour format with one ticket giving access to all venues for the first time.
