Belgium Booms will be present at this year's edition of Dour Festival to promote our national creations among foreign audiences and professionals, both representing each year a large proportion of the festival’s visitors.

We can connect you with Belgian music professionals and clarify the ins & outs of our remarkably distinctive music scene.

Want to know more about the scheduled artists from Belgium? Check them out here!

Each day, we will organize receptions (open to accredited professionals of the festival on presentation of their wristband) as well as networking moments between international delegates and managers of Belgian artists who are scheduled to play the festival (*invitation only). Members of the international delegation as well as the professional schedule are listed below.
