2026 promises to be another fantastic year for live music! Our promoters are excited to share their top picks.
This week: Part 2!
Discover which supergroup Mich is looking forward to, why—according to Ine—you definitely shouldn’t miss TJE’s concert, and who Tarik’s leading lady of the modern metal scene is.
Mich Leemans:
sun 03 May: Orcutt Shelley Miller
'Power rock: a supergroup trio that sounds like Neil Young & Crazy Horse, disguised as a psychedelic jazz trio. Tonight, the AB Club will become a sultry, groovy rock venue. This could very well be the concert of the spring.'
fri 12 Jun: Cabaret Voltaire
'When I saw the band in November in London, it became once again clear why they are widely regarded as pioneers of electronic, experimental music. With their industrial/post-punk/electro sound, the band still sounded as sharp as in the heyday of their first three albums.'
Ine Geldermans:
sat 24 Jan: F*CK OFF / 50 Years of Dissent
'In 2026, we are celebrating 50 years of Punk at AB. To kick off this anniversary year, Stadskanker, together with Leefwerk vzw, has curated a fantastic opening event that not only honors Punk as a musical genre, but above all as a counter-movement, a form of resistance against the mainstream and the contemporary power system. Moreover, all proceeds will go to Warm Bed, an organization that needs our support now more than ever!'
sun 26 Apr: TJE
'Don’t be fooled. Despite their seemingly cute name, TJE packs a power not to be underestimated. Lindy, Klaas, and Melvin will celebrate the release of their debut album in 2026 at the AB Club, and you’ll want to be there! Their unique mix of electronica, melancholic avant-pop, and experimental post-rock reaches even the most hardened souls.'
Tarik Vanrompaey
mon 30 Mar: Poppy
'One of the leading ladies of the modern metal scene. Beyond her highly successful collaborations with artists such as Bad Omens, Knocked Loose, and Evanescence, her solo work is equally impressive. If you want to hear sixties bubblegum pop, metalcore, trap, and grunge all in one night, topped with a healthy dose of kawaii energy, this is the concert for you.'
wed 18 Mar: Sammy Virji
'This producer has reinvented the UK Garage scene. The ever-smiling Brit has collaborated with grime stars such as Skepta and Giggs, and will be presenting his second album, "Same Day Cleaning," live to us.'
