The sun was shining brightly, electricity crackled through the air, and the Osseghem Park was buzzing with life once again. We couldn't have dreamed of a better start to this 35th edition!

Yesterday, the moment finally arrived: after a year of missing you, Couleur Café was overflowing with your unstoppable enthusiasm once again. The stages awoke, the dance floor flooded, and the crowd proved that we are heading for a le-gen-dary weekend.

The Rue du Bien Manger was buzzing and bustling, and in La Dalle, too, delicious scents—and flavors— floated through the air. Between DJ sets, Tieks' urban flow brought the laid-back vibes you needed for a quick recharge. And for those who looked closely, the park revealed many more hidden paths and secret surprises.

Blaiz Fayah's sultry shatta warmed up the Red Stage, with KeBlack and Ezra Collective keeping the fire going all evening long. And if that wasn't enough, Rema's explosive closing performance left the stage 100% aflame!

At the Black Stage, temperatures skyrocketed as well: S!RENE, Lady Shaka, Juls... with a team like that, staying off the floor was simply not an option. And if the beats gave you a moment of freedom, the deep basses of the Dub Stage were quick to lure you over.

An unbeatable opening day! And the best part? This was just the beginning. Two more days full of spectacular performances and surprises are waiting for you right below the Atomium.
