July 3 to 5, 2026
Parc d’Osseghem, Brussels
The Brosella Festival returns to Brussels from 3 to 5 July 2026 at the Théâtre de Verdure in the Parc d’Osseghem, very close to the Atomium. For three days, this open-air festival brings together jazz, urban etno, international artists and musical discoveries in a very pleasant green setting.
It’s a great idea for a summer family outing if you like outdoor concerts, festival atmospheres and lively places. The festival also offers a Children’s Corner, with events designed to introduce children to music in a more accessible format.
Why go with children?
Brosella is a good gateway to introduce live music to children. The festival takes place outdoors, in a green setting, with a more relaxed atmosphere than a large concert hall.
The program mixes jazz, world rhythms, voices, percussion and more current projects. It is an interesting outing for families who want to offer something other than a museum, an exhibition or a classic indoor activity.
The real plus for families is the Children’s Corner. Children can discover music in a different way, with more playful, more interactive proposals adapted to their own pace.
What to see during the Brosella Festival
On Friday 3 July , the festival opens with an evening around Dhafer Youssef, between jazz and oriental influences.
Saturday, July 4 puts more emphasis on urban etno, with a more festive and international line-up, including Nneka, Cheikh Lô, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, Jaune Toujours and Bamako Express.
Sunday, July 5 is all about jazz, with Joel Ross, Adrian Younge, Amaro Freitas, Greg Foat Trio, MiXMONK Supreme, and BXL x LDN Interplay III.
On the family side, the Children’s Corner offers several events for children, including Renette Désir, Drawing Bassesand Zouratié Koné. This is the best part if you come with children.
