Ancienne Belgique is a vibrant music temple in the heart of Brussels with a passion for young talent and established names. Through some 400 concerts and projects per year, we do our best to give more than 300,000 visitors an unforgettable experience. All this is managed by a motivated team of some 65 permanent staff.

To strengthen our communications team, we’re looking for a content creator for our brand-new AB Lab initiative.

AB Lab is key to AB’s transformation from a concert venue to a music house. We’re creating an accessible space for artists, young people and creative collectives to experiment, learn and grow. With music at its heart, AB Lab is a nesting ground for talent development, cross-pollination and artistic innovation.

We’re collaborating with organisations both inside and outside Brussels on topics such as inclusivity, decolonisation and intersectionality, pushing both the sector and ourselves to keep evolving.
