The Temple of Alternative Music in Brussels

Alternative music freaks on a visit to the city of Brussels, ditch the usual tourist trap venues and head straight to Magasin 4. This legendary spot has been fueling the city’s alternative scene since 1994. Here you can expect to listen to bands playing everything from Punk, Garage, Hardcore, Industrial, Psychedelic, Cold wave, Metal, Weird experimental and stuff just they don’t play anywhere else. if it’s loud and outside the box, it’s probably happening here!

It’s a non-profit, run entirely by passionate volunteers who are dedicated to keep things real. That means tickets are ridiculously cheap gigs around 7 to 15 EUR on average for a whole night of awesome bands!)

It’s sweaty, a bit scuffed up and that’s exactly how it should be with no fancy cocktails or dress codes and the beers won’t break the bank either (2 EUR on tap!). We’re talking gritty gigs, weird and wonderful bands, and a whole lot of DIY spirit. They’re dedicated to making sure everyone can experience the thrill of discovering new music, no matter their budget.
