Hide & Seek Festival Turns 10: A Week of Musical Discovery in the Hidden Corners of Brussels From August 17 to 23, 2025, the Hide & Seek Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary. And for this special edition, it’s pulling out all the stops to take audiences on a musical journey across the globe without ever leaving Brussels. Nomadic concerts, sounds from near and far and one-of-a-kind pop-up stages hidden in the city’s secret spots: this year’s program promises to be as eclectic and adventurous as ever. On the lineup: - Alfaia, with hypnotic sounds bridging Arabic and Galician traditions - Toasaves, weaving together Flemish polyphony and Eastern folk influences - Bipolar Bows, a virtuosic string duo fusing folk, jazz and classical with daring precision For the very first time, families are in for a treat too. Ghanaian group ADESA brings a joyful musical and clowning performance full of storytelling, acrobatics, humor, and high-octane energy a delight for curious kids and grown-ups alike. As always, unexpected venues will steal the spotlight for one night only. Think: - The refined halls of the Royal Academy Palace, - L’Usine, a former factory turned artists’ hub, - The old royal printing house, now home to creative minds at Namahn. Full program and secret locations will be revealed in June. Stay tuned on muziekpublique.be.
