Arno turned to us backstage in 2022 to ask if we would set up a worthy tribute in his beloved venue: the AB he always described as his ‘second living room’.
A tribute with a line-up of artists that had his absolute blessing: musicians that he wrote musical history with, warmly worked with, or that he simply admired. That list, in close consultation with Arno, took shape very quickly. After all, Arno always knew what he wanted. And AB did its very best to realise Arno’s wishes, together with Arno’s right-hand man and bass player Mirko Banovic, friend and photographer Danny Willems, and manager Cyril Prieur.
