What is Hide & Seek?

Every summer, for a few extraordinary days, Brussels becomes a city-wide stage. From August 17 to 22, 2026, Hide & Seek Festival invites you to discover concerts in unexpected, iconic, and rarely accessible corners of the Belgian capital. Each day brings a new setting. Each concert puts artists in conversation with the history and architecture of a unique space. Six days of festival. Eleven concerts. Over 40 Belgian and international artists. Traditional music from across the globe, resonating through venues steeped in character and history, spaces that spark the imagination.

Hide & Seek is more than a music festival. It’s an experience: a sonic journey through Brussels, where heritage, artistic discovery and unexpected encounters come together.

This edition expands its showcase programme, dedicated to emerging local talent. Brussels and Belgian artists will present new work to a wider audience, and to professional programmers from across Europe.
