This summer, our musicians invite you to the timeless bubble of the Vaux-Hall in Brussels. On 6/07, BRUiTAL meets Karrakallas, DROM and Atelier Leon organise a Bal Maské with trance grooves and punk dance. And on 3/08 Ejaspapa Gnonlonfoun, GanGan TNS and others will plunge you into the infectious dances, rhythms and musical traditions of West Africa at AGO la Fiest’Art.

 

The Vaux-Hall is an 18th-century recreation park in the Parc de Bruxelles, hidden behind the Théâtre Royal du Parc. On summer weekends, the City of Brussels offers a series of free cultural activities in this magical setting, known as Vaux-Hall Summer. From Thursday to Sunday, you can enjoy a rich programme of events and a wide range of artists. Workshops, film screenings, performances, DJ sets… and this year also some evening programmes entirely organised by MetX musicians!

 

Bal Maské – Saturday 6/07 from 18:30 till 23:00
