BEST OF BELGIUM 2025 BY MATHILDE

Hi guys,

Sooooo it's the end of the year and I guess people start making lists. I'm really bad at making lists, because I'm so forgetful. What music have I been listening to? What shows have I seen. Maybe that's why I thought it was so important to have an archive on our website. So I could be reminded of all the things we do.

But yeah, end of the year lists, let's do it! Here are my top 5 favorite Belgian releases of the year of our lord 2025.

• In de verte, dit uitzicht - Abel Ghekiere
• Cassotto - Suzan Peeters
• Als het neerstort - Simon
• Fever Dream - Movulango
• Taking Place - Adia Vanheerentals

THIS WAS: Café OVERLAST Flink X Burger Service

The beginning of the new school year and we're already blasting ear drums. Literally. Flink came in, sound checked, and we ran to get earplugs. But they blew us away with their cool vibe, eclectic sound and stage presence. Burger Service playing the set of our dreams <3

THIS WAS: Café OVERLAST I'm the hug x Badtime

Our first Café OVERLAST of 2025!

THIS WAS: Café OVERLAST Meridiane X Laura De Jongh

Back again at our favorite café of the whole city. (sorry, maybe we shouldn't have favorites) (but we do!!!). Moby Dick has welcomed us with open arms for 3 years in a row and we can't be happier that these types of bars continue to exists in Antwerp. We had a very eclectic combo planned, but people seemed into it. Meridiane convinced everyone with her infectious spirit and Laura De Jongh created a universe of her own with her beautiful harp music. It was probably one of the coldest days of the year, but in Moby Dick the love was verrrry warm!

THIS WAS: Café OVERLAST Movulango X 0__0

Café OVERLAST took their business to Berchem for the first time. Rood Wit is a standard between the Berchem train station and Groenenhoek neighborhood. A friendly "bruine kroeg" where cyclists meet. Jullian and Alois made a very groovy set, special for OVERLAST. Movulango blew us away with his simple yet very memorable show. Thank you Rood Wit for having us, this was a very cosy night!
