Royal Palace Open Air (Brussels, Belgium) 2025

About

Few music festivals in Europe match the grandeur and atmosphere of what’s set to unfold in Brussels this summer. On Friday, August 15, 2025, Hangar takes over the Royal Palace of Brussels for a monumental edition of its flagship event: Royal Palace Open Air. After consecutive sold-out shows at the iconic Cinquantenaire, this year’s move to the regal Place des Palais marks a bold new chapter in Belgium’s open-air music scene.

The crown jewel of the night? Solomun, performing an extended headline set in the heart of the capital. Known for his emotive build-ups and masterful transitions, the Diynamic Music boss will command the decks from afternoon until nearly midnight. While the full supporting lineup remains under wraps, past Hangar events have hosted rising European selectors and top-tier local talent—expect nothing less this time.

What truly elevates this experience is the venue itself. The Royal Palace, typically reserved for official state occasions, transforms into a cutting-edge dance floor surrounded by historic facades and immersive light installations. With music echoing through the neoclassical columns and a crowd moving in unison under the Belgian sky, it’s not just a party—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime setting for sonic exploration.

Running from 15:00 to 23:59, with last entry at 19:00, the event is designed for deep listening and shared connection across the golden hours of a summer evening. All regular tickets grant full access, but Backstage and Comfort Area options provide enhanced entry, private amenities, and exclusive views behind the booth. Tickets are already sold out, a testament to the anticipation surrounding Solomun’s return and the palace’s debut as an open-air dance venue.

This edition also marks a deeper integration with Hangar’s digital ecosystem. All payments during the event will be made via the Hangar App, ensuring fast, contactless transactions. Whether you’re coming from Brussels or abroad, Royal Palace Open Air 2025 promises more than a night of music—it’s a curated celebration of architecture, sound, and community under the open skies of one of Europe’s most symbolic addresses.
