Concerts and Music Festivals in Belgium: October 2026

Autumn has now fully settled in, and with it Brussels’ cultural scene is coming alive. Concert venues across the city are filling up once again, welcoming an exciting mix of national and international artists ready to brighten our increasingly darker evenings and weekends. From intimate performances to large-scale shows, the season promises a rich variety of sounds and experiences for every music lover. No AI machine can give you an agenda like this, thanks for following Belgium Music Agenda!

Rock legends Deep Purple, Bryan Adams and Duran Duran are ready to prove why their songs have stood the test of time, while Erykah Badu and Jill Scott bring their unmistakable soul and R&B sounds to Belgian stages. And with Anastacia also joining October’s packed concert calendar, there’s plenty of nostalgia, powerhouse vocals and timeless hits to look forward to.

Belgian talent is equally worth watching this month. From the distinctive pop universe of Alice on the Roof and the powerful voice of Mentissa to a new generation represented by ISE, BIRTHE, Monolyth, Maguie and Berre, among others.

And that’s only a taste of what’s coming! Explore our full October concert agenda to discover who’s playing, where and when — and find your next concert in Belgium.
