Without a doubt the best known concert hall in Belgium. Located in the historic centre of Brussels, the AB has attracted artists and music fans from around the world since the 1930s.

Sabrina DR

Unique venue with a cosy atmosphere , try standing on the balcony on the first or second floor. There are enough lockers downstairs for your belongings, just rememeber to bring €1.

Lene H.

AB probably is Brussels' most famous music venue , offering concerts by well-known bands and indie artists almost every day. Both the big concert hall and club are nice. Sound quality is always good.

Yordi Peirlinck

The Club is a cozy , nice place to feel close to the artist performing there. Drinks are available and the sound is outstanding. Top notch!

Adrian Winn

Great venue. Saw Ben Howard here before he was cool in the states . Eagles.

Cosy concert hall . Small but nice building. Very good line up

There’s a second BAR lefthand of the stage. There’s a jeton automat also. Usually no long queues here.

Matthias Bauw

Best sounding venue in Belgium!

Marie Tshitenge

Love it! And in the centrum of Brussels

William Alberque

The lockers downstairs are 1€, and, mercifully, there's a change machine near the bathrooms . However, they clear the venue immediately after gigs, killing off any hope of fostering a scene...

Dave Brody

Suberb venue in the center of Brussels ! Excellent sound!

My favourite concert venue in Belgium - best sound there is and really close to the bands
