On Thursday August 10th they will welcome the American hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne and Uptown Funker Mark Ronson and hip-hop queen Coely.

Sunday August 13th will be a dance & pop high day like last year, with Lost Frequencies, the triumphant comeback of David Craig presents TS5 and, for the first time in Belgium, the Swedish pop phenomenon Zara Larsson.

Tuesday August 8th brings a very nice 4-leaf clover of singer-songwriters with Ben Harper (solo), Tom Odell, the popular Belgians Het Zesde Metaal and Tamino.

Black Box Revelation will join Pixies on stage on Friday August 4th for one of their exclusive summer shows.

Also the 'Metal-day' on August 6th will be back with this year the 20th -anniversary show of Apocalyptica performing Metallica by four cellos and new metal heroes The Amity Affliction.

And on the day of The Offspring (Wednesday August 9th), Less Than Jake, Sublime With Rome and Slaves are added to the line-up while at the indoor hall Belgian sensations Kapitan Korsakov, Cocaine Piss and La Jungle will play.

Ghost & Writer is the project of Frank M. Spinath (Seabound/Edge Of Dawn) and Jean-Marc Lederman (The Weathermen), who made their live debut in 2016 at JH Wommel (Antwerp).
A concert that was very well received and that's why BodyBeats Productions chose them to open this night.

The live set will see them playing songs from their two albums out on Dependent and Metropolis ('Shipwrecks' and 'Red Flags'), the latter being heralded as a true masterpiece by many reviewers, plus some audio surprises.

Brussels Summer Festival has added an incredible thirteen new names to their bill. The sixteenth edition will be held from August 6 to 15 this year.

ORBITAL – FEIST – GOOSE – MILOW - BLACK BOX REVELATION – PUGGY - NOA - LA FEMME – TRUST –

JAIN - HENRI PFR - BOULEVARD DES AIRS - MHD

Goose knows how to melt melancholic pop with craxy electro that features both machines and electric guitars as main players. Never repeating but finding new approaches both live and in the studio. The same goes for Orbital, a groundbreaking band in the history of rave-culture from the hedonistic 90s, and today still exciting and fresh. Last year brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll released the remarkable new CD What You Need and the British duo liked that so much they have announced a successor to be released later this year. Expect a sneak preview in Brussels!

Belgian bands able to finish their tour in a crowded Vorst Nationaal are rare and bands winning three of the most important awards at the D6bels Music Awards (the Walloon counterpart of the MAs) - a.o. artist ánd concert of the year. - are even rarer. Puggy have grown into a proper phenomenon in the past few years and will be able to emphasize this in the summer with a concert at the Paleizenplein. This will also be one of the last opportunities this year to see the trio perform live

Jain was chosen best artist of the year at the prestigious Victoires de la Musique earlier this year and will redeem the high expectations at Brussels Summer Festival. Innovative but full of emotion at the same time. This will also be her only concert in Belgium this summer. And there is more good stuff coming from the South: La Femme is currently counted as one of the best bands from French rock and on Le Mystère - her second highly praised album - she has succeeded in catching the energy of her live performance in the studio. High time for this band to get more attention above the language barrier.

Feist in the meantime can boast about a string of classics that are edged in our memory. The Canadian folkrock artist has been strikingly silent since the release of her last album Metals in 2011 but after her co-operation with Broken Social Scene Leslie Feist is ready to step back into the limelight again. A new release ánd an international tour are imminent. So an exclusive appearance at BSF makes sense.

Not really well-known in Flanders Trust are a living legend in the French rock-world, responsible for a handfull of strong LPs like Antisocial, Police Milice, Elite and Marche Ou Crève.

You can establish with your own ears that French hiphop is alive and kicking during the set of MHD.

And that's not all. In the electro department they are happy to welcome Henri PFR, a young dj and producer from Brussels, at 21 already dropping one killer track after another in the most prestigious clubs worldwide.

Something completely different - but as provocative - is Noa, the popular Israelian singer. She was reunited with her loyal guitarist and producer Gil Dor on her new CD Love Medicine. She brings a heart warming mix of jazz, traditional music and pure pop.

And talking about pure pop: in our own country Milow can hardly be beaten at that. He scores hit after hit, fills venues in all corners of Europe and brings Modern Heart, his most bold album yet. But still with the irresistible choruses we have come to expect from him.

The Belgian picture is completed by the raw garagerock of Black Box Revelation. At least for now because.....more new names will follow shortly!
