For its 4th edition, COALESCAREMONIUM: Brussels Gothic Happening will become a true music festival, with 4 bands and 4 solo projects playing over 2 stages. There will be unseen performances starting every hour alternating between the concert room and the chapel: two high-contrasting atmospheres, one captivating and energetic; the other serene and intimate.
Half of the artists for the 2016 edition have already been announced and the others are soon to follow! The concert room will feature the theatrical Hedera Helix with a special show to mark the release of their long awaited new album and British goth rock band Pretentious, Moi? who are making their first Belgian appearance on our date of April 2nd.
The first revelation to play in the chapel is Belgian superduo KnK, who are bringing us the live debut of their "Dead Body Music". The other is the solo project of Max Lilja, renowned Finish cellist known for his work with Apocalyptica, Hevein, and Tarja, in his electro based solo set that is full of dark influences and upbeat dancing rhytms.
The theme of this year's Coalescaremonium titles "Art Nouveau Noise": a wildly imaginative combination of music and visual styles leaving the unrevealed half of the bands to fill the gaps. Of course there are also still the dance, fashion and art shows that create the setting you are used from us to make a spectacular day festival now lasting from 15h to 3 AM.
