16 may from 17h to 23h

Place du Luxembourg

  

 

This year, for the first time, the commune of Ixelles, in collaboration with RainbowHouse Brussels and Brussels Pride, will welcome a number of leading DJs from Brussels’ queer scene to kick off Brussels Pride weekend. VTT, Rokia Bamba, Legolane and Azo will take turns behind the decks from 17:00 to 23:00 and will have place du Luxembourg jumping. Several organisations (Amnesty International, The Refuge LGBTQIA+, BGS, Rainbow Ambassadors) will take the floor to discuss the struggles and key challenges the community faces.

A brand new, socially conscious and unmissable festive event!

  

MC

Susan from Grindr

A finalist on Drag Race Belgium and co-founder of the Ghent-based collective House of Lux, having graced the stage of the Werq the World Tour, Susan from Grindr is the quirky, camp auntie we simply can’t do without.

DJ set

LEGOLANE

A Brussels-based DJ of Congolese origin, LEGOLANE crafts a hybrid and intense sound blending Hard Groove, Trance, Baile Funk and Ballroom influences, which has taken him from the stages of Tomorrowland to the Rio Carnival.

DJ set

Azo

Brussels-based producer, keyboardist and DJ, Azo crafts a sharp fusion of acid, techno and trance, drawing inspiration from the UK rave scene and Detroit, which has taken her from the Boiler Room to Tomorrowland, via Watergate and the Rex Club.

DJ set

VTT

A DJ of Vietnamese descent who is firmly rooted in the Brussels scene, VTT moves seamlessly between groovy house and energetic techno, with a set drawing heavily on old-school tracks from the 90s and 2000s.

DJ set

Rokia Bamba

Rokia Bamba, the high priestess of groove and The Mother of Brussels, doesn’t just make you dance… she casts a spell over you, gets your whole body moving and puts smiles on people’s faces until the early hours.

  • This event is organised with the support of Romain De Reusme, Mayor of Ixelles, Nevruz Unal, Deputy Mayor for Equality and Human Rights, and the members of the College of the Mayor and Deputy Mayors of Ixelles.
