Brussels’ Circle Park outdoor clubbing venue opens for new season on 18 April

Brussels’ open-air nightlife scene is set to return as Circle Park reopens on 18 April for a new season of music, socialising and outdoor events.

The popular venue will run every Saturday for more than four months, marking the start of the summer clubbing calendar.

Located on a former industrial site in Anderlecht, near the canal, Circle Park has established itself as a staple of Brussels’ summer nightlife, combining open air culture with a festival like atmosphere for a fraction of the cost.

Following last year’s success, organisers are bringing back the venue’s signature 16 hour format. In collaboration with La Fabriek, events will begin outdoors from 14.00 to 22.00 before moving indoors until 6.00.

The concept allows visitors to transition from a relaxed daytime setting into a full club experience at night. In case of bad weather, daytime programming will be relocated indoors.

The site offers more than just music. Built around repurposed shipping containers and urban murals, the space includes a beach area, sports facilities such as volleyball courts, and multiple chill zones when you get tired of dancing.

Organisers say recent adjustments to the layout aim to enhance the overall experience, with new elements to be unveiled on opening day.

Circle Park positions itself as a “living space” where visitors can alternate between dancing, socialising and leisure activities throughout the day.

In contrast to rising prices at many summer events, organisers emphasise affordability. Entry starts at €5, while a €55 Summer Pass grants access to all events across the season.

The pass, which returns after strong demand last year, will be available only in limited numbers.

The season kicks off on 18 April with a daytime programme featuring Fasme (live), Identified Patient, LeDetail, and shoplifter B2B Casper. The night continues at La Fabriek with sets from Camila Rodhes, Disjoli and MZA.
