Toasaves

With their bold fusion of heritage and experimentation, Toasaves brings a spellbinding musical universe to the 10th edition of the Hide & Seek Festival in Brussels.

Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Wannes Van de Velde, Toasaves weaves ancient Flemish polyphony together with Eastern sounds from countries like Turkey, Greece, and Afghanistan.

Their latest album, Zwerver, was awarded Best Album at the 2024 Flanders Folk Awards. A well-deserved recognition of their boundary-pushing musical journey.

The palace of the Academies

Once a royal palace, now a temple of knowledge, the Palais des Académies is one of Brussels’ best-kept treasures. Originally built for the Prince of Orange, this neoclassical masterpiece has been home to Belgium’s top scientific and artistic academies since 1876, including the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts and the Royal Academy of Medicine.

Behind its majestic columns, you’ll find grand staircases, opulent salons, historic artworks and period furniture, the kind of setting that whispers history and elegance. For one night only, this place of wisdom becomes a stage for music, mystery and magic.
