The ninth edition of Listen Festival will be held across Brussels in November, with organisers announcing six days of electronic music concerts and clubnights at some the city’s most unlikely venues.
Listen Festival returns on 4-9 November 2025, with a usual high range of musical style and orientations. This year, sounds will span Indie, House, Drum & Bass, Techno and all-round global sounds.
With the previous edition attracting about 25.000 people, of which more than 60% visiting from outside of Brussels, Listen is aiming to bring even more foreign visitors for its 2025 edition.
The main goal remains to give the music-scene in Brussels an international platform and by cooperating with various local curators.
Unique parties
Brussels-Central station and the National Basilica of Koekelberg are again among the unique party locations for this year’s city-wide festival. The festival holds electronic music concerts and clubs at some of the city’s most loved venues, but is known for its special ‘off-locations’.
Last year, organisers closed off three of Brussels’ tunnels under Place Louise to throw a huge party attended by thousands. This year, there will be 15 unique locations in Brussels.
Among the confirmed venues, both regular and unusual, are Botanique, Bodies In Space, Brussels Central Station, C12 , La Cabane, Continental, Flagey, Fuse, Les Halles de Schaerbeek, La Madeleine, National Basilica Koekelberg, Umi, K1, VK - with more to be announced.

Some of city’s leading electronic music collectives and organisers will be participating or putting on parties. These include Crevette Records, Gay Haze, Gloom Club, HE4RTBROKEN, La Cabane and Play Label, Sono Ventura, Slagwerk and many more.
The stand-out events for the 2025 edition will be the opening concert in the National Basilica of Koekelberg with Loverman and Cortex Ensemble. Other highlights for this edition include a takeover of Brussels-Central train station, a concert night and a day-time party at Les Halles de Schaerbeek, three nights and days of parties at K1 and much more.
Listen focusses even more on live-shows with concerts at Botanique, Bozar, Flagey and even Fuse will host a concert by ECHT! this year.
A new feature for this year are the "blind clubbing passes". These passes give access to any clubbing events at the reduced price of €30 – with the catch being that the line-up is still a secret. These passes are only available until mid June, when the line-up for the club events will be released.
