    Without a doubt the best known concert hall in Belgium. Located in the historic centre of Brussels, the AB has attracted artists and music fans from around the world since the 1930s.

    Unique venue with a cosy atmosphere, try standing on the balcony on the first or second floor. There are enough lockers downstairs for your belongings, just rememeber to bring €1.

    AB probably is Brussels' most famous music venue, offering concerts by well-known bands and indie artists almost every day. Both the big concert hall and club are nice. Sound quality is always good.

    The Club is a cozy, nice place to feel close to the artist performing there. Drinks are available and the sound is outstanding. Top notch!

    Best academy sites venue in Belgium, no doubt about it. There are lockers downstairs. The machine for drinktokens in the small bar often doesn't work.

    The biggest pop/rock names come there for their gigs. Right in the middle of the pub area of Brussels, your night will go on after the show !

    The lockers downstairs are 1€, and, mercifully, there's a change machine near the bathrooms. However, they clear the venue immediately after gigs, killing off any hope of fostering a scene...
