Here are a few pictures of the Daan concert.
The Fête de l’Iris started tonight with the free Sharko concert which was setup right next to the Royal Palace of Brussels. Formed in 1997 by David Bartholomé, Sharko is a well known Belgian Indie Rock band with four albums to date released. Here are some ±50 pictures of the 1st of three Fête de l’Iris concerts of Mai 10.

The bridge leading to the Poelaert elevator which separates the higher and lower town of Brussels where the Maroles are. Picture is taken from 85 rue des Minimes, 1000 Brussels.

The building seen in the back of the bridge is the Law Courts of Brussels.
Just a stone’s throw from the Manneken piss on the corner is where you will find the Poechenellekelder café, or just nicknamed “Poech” for the regulars. This typical Brussels pub with its phenomenal interior decor is one of the most lively in the center during the day and has varied clientele where the locals don’t hesitate to share with the tourists for a chat.
Location:

Nicely served Cantillon beer & cheese
A look from the 1st room near the entrance
You get a feel of rich decor and special atmosphere as soon you enter
Approaching the main room near the bar section
Probably the best spot to enjoy the densely packed interior decoration with its puppets, trumpets, crossbows, beer crates hanging from everywhere.

Final decision ater a while looking at the menu was Trappist Achel to drink
