Beursschouwburg '23

Our Scene: A reflection on nightlife and beyond.

Listen Festival presents Our Scene: two days to reflect upon nightlife and beyond with a free programme of talks, keynotes, panel discussions and more taking place at Beursschouwburg. During the festival on Friday 31.03 and Saturday 01.04 we're extending the scope of our discursive programme even further by deep diving into themes that go beyond the music industry. Each day the activities will be accompanied by live concerts curated by Kiosk Radio. 

Our music scene has rarely been as debated and questioned as it is today and with Our Scene, we want to organize a collective moment of reflection. As this reflection needs to occur in a mutual and inclusive way, Listen Festival makes room for the communities that have been at the center of these debates. With a programme of talks, keynotes and panel discussions Our Scene will make for an intriguing and eye-opening part of Listen Festival 2023.  Friday programme is curated by Som•m•e Of Us founding member Eric Cyuzuzo. 

In addition to this Listen Festival is hosting four exciting free concerts together with Kiosk Radio at Beursschouwburg during Our Scene. Next to the concerts at Beurs you will also find a lot of Listen’s international guests visit the Kiosk in the parc for special guest-shows throughout the weekend.
