Every summer, Hide & Seek turns Brussels into a musical treasure hunt. From 17 to 22 August 2026, the festival opens the doors of the capital's most unexpected, iconic and rarely accessible places and fills them with music. One evening a tram depot, the next the ballroom of the Council of State; from the renowned P. A. R. T. S dance studios to a Buddhist centre and the town hall of Ixelles, each concert lets you into a Brussels you don't usually get to see. Across six days, 11 concerts and more than 40 Belgian and international artists, traditional and world music from across the globe resonates through spaces full of history and character. Each one is a new way to experience the city, through sound, architecture, heritage and surprise. Hide & Seek is an invitation to explore Brussels differently, moving from one remarkable setting to the next and discovering both exceptional artists and hidden corners of the capital along the way. This edition also expands its showcase of emerging talent. Your chance to catch Brussels and Belgian artists premiering new work, alongside the European programmers who come looking for the names of tomorrow. Come find what Brussels has been hiding!
