Discover the first three concerts in the new AB Salon: a space dedicated to experimental, avant-garde, underground and improvised music.
AB has been working for some time on an extensive renovation in the Steenstraat. We are therefore delighted to soon open the doors of the AB Salon for an initial series of three concerts. The new AB Salon is state-of-the-art, with optimal acoustics and seating for 50. We’re creating the perfect conditions to enjoy your dose of experimentation.
Programmer Mich on the reopening:
“I’m really looking forward to the reopening of the new Salon, which has undergone a transformation beyond recognition. It will become the place in Brussels where you can listen to and experience both emerging talent and established names in innovative, experimental, non-conventional music, under ideal conditions.”

Together they explore experimental music at the edges of sound, in an evening supported by the adventurous Brussels-based label Futura Resistenza.
Fri 27 Feb 26: Maurice Louca’s Fera with Ayman Asfour
Egyptian artist Maurice Louca brings a bold mix of Arabic traditions, free jazz, noise and avant-rock. Joined by violinist Ayman Asfour, he presents an intense live set at the AB Salon, filled with hypnotic structures and explosive improvisation, based on his new album Fera (2025).
Sat 7 Mar 26: Miasmah – 20 Years: Svarte Greiner + Olga Anna Markowska + live soundtrack by Kreng
A unique evening centred around the Berlin-based label Miasmah, featuring Svarte Greiner, the alter ego of Erik K. Skodvin, known for his dark, atmospheric ambient and cinematic work. Also performing is Miasmah newcomer Olga Anna Markowska, who creates an intense, emotional sound world using cello, zither and electronics. Together they celebrate a label that has been balancing beauty and darkness for twenty years.
