The final wave crashes onto the main stages
On Friday 26 June, the festival welcomes Australian dub icon Dub FX, a well-established presence on European stages, known for his entirely live-built performances, weaving together beatbox, loops and spontaneous composition in real time. Over on the Black Stage, a home for local and international DJs, two familiar faces from the Brussels scene unite. GRCA. and BROWNSUGVR, both well-known to Couleur Café CLUB crowds, join forces this time in a b2b format.
Saturday 28 June marks a milestone: Niveau4 turns ten. Born inside Couleur Café itself, the concept has grown into an essential showcase for Belgium's hip-hop, rap and trap scene, championing emerging artists alongside those already making noise well beyond the country's borders. For this special edition, HD La R, Bhavi, GRISHA, Wawa, Fred Gata and Kynato will grace the stage, with DJ Vega on the decks and Vicelow, a key member of Saïan Supa Crew, serving as their coach. A performance that will leave its mark on the concept's legacy.
Not to be outdone, the Black Stage will bring its own spark with MARIELOU b2b Femifè and Mama OD — a Belgian trio that promises as much energy as sheer dancefloor heat. Meanwhile, the Dub Stage will feature Sumac Dub, a pioneer of the French electro-dub scene. His latest work, Lyrae, a breathtaking ode to time travel, offers a perfect glimpse of what he'll bring to the stage this summer.
Sunday 29 June gets a Jamaican breeze, courtesy of Valiant, who brings his dancehall to the Osseghem Park. A voice for a new generation, he has been quietly stacking accolades — MOBO Award for Best Caribbean Artist, Dancehall Artist of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards in 2024 — while tracks like Dunce Cheque and Narcissistic continue to build a loyal and ever-growing fanbase.
The Black Stage will keep the energy high with Oroko Radio: six DJs from Los Angeles, Manchester, Berlin, Lagos, São Paulo and Accra, joining forces for a three-hour collective set with a resolutely global sound. On the lineup: Asphodele b2b Obeka, Kikelomo b2b JLZ, and Anna Leonie b2b WEAREALLCHEMICALS — a stellar cast to close the festival in style.
Rounding off the full picture, the Dub Stage saves its final frequencies for Submatic, a cornerstone of the drum & bass scene whose reputation reaches well beyond his native Austria.
All these additions slot into a lineup already stacked with the likes of Rema, Skepta, Danny Ocean, Tokischa and Thee Sacred Souls across the main stages — and beyond the music itself, smaller venues, activities and surprises are still waiting to be discovered.
