Couleur Café, one of Brussels’ largest music festivals which will take place in Parc d'Osseghem at the foot of the Atomium between 28 and 30 June 2024, has revealed its five five acts.
Last year, the iconic festival attracted 70,000 visitors for three sun-soaked days with a lineup that hosted 60 live bands and 40 DJs and collectives, not to mention food served by 36 restaurants. Next year, the festival will serve up the very best of dub, funk, Latin, jazz, and soul to R&B, hip-hop, afro, amapiano on Friday 28, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June 2024.
On Tuesday, organisers gave the first taste of what is in store for the festival by announcing the first five artists to inaugurate the line-up.
Announced artists
Malian singer-songwriter Fatoumata Diawara who was born in the Ivory Coast and is largely considered the queen of Afro-folk and blues, will be headlining the festival. She already performed at Couleur Café in 2018, where she blew crowds away.
Back by popular demand, next year's edition will also see the return of Brussels' hip-hop crew STIKSTOF. Zwangere Guy, Jazz Brak, Astrofisiks and Deejay Vega will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their first album.
Odumodublvck, a rising star in the afro-beat, grime and drill music scene, is the third act that will be included in the line-up for 2024, showcasing the very best of the Nigerian music industry.
American bassist, experimental musician, singer and songwriter MonoNeon will also take to the stage in Parc d'Osseghem. With his distinctive and offbeat style, he is known for his YouTube videos playing bass guitar and being one of the last people to work with Prince.
