Concert halls Liège

Concert hall, brasserie, vinyl store, food truck, organizer of the Festival Les Ardentes... the Reflektor is on all fronts, or almost. We love music here, and it shows. In fact, the Reflektor owes its name to an Arcade Fire album. The 600-capacity concert hall features rock, pop, electro, house, reggae, metal and funk artists. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Reflektor Records corner is the place to go to find the vinyl you've been missing. An unmissable cultural spot in Liège.

The people of Liège are aware of this and prove that arthouse cinema is far from being reserved for an elite. Defending the works of Kusturica, Almodovar, the Dardenn brothers and many others is essential for independent programmers! Today, the Park has become a must. It is a place of reflection, emotion, encounters, dreams, escape and entertainment for the greatest number. Some films can even be viewed free of charge (pre-registration) and sometimes followed by a debate with the producer.

You like auteur films but don't sulk at quality Hollywood films? Le Sauvenière cleverly combines the two, and selects "general public" films while favouring auteur films. Moreover, the place itself is not unpleasant and rather design. Indeed, his brewery has been designed in a welcoming and very arty spirit, in line with the spirit of cinema, and organizes concerts (see the online program). There is also an outdoor terrace where you can watch open-air (and free) movies on Saturdays in the summer.

Decorated like a Texas saloon, this bar stands out in the Liège landscape with its horse-saddle stools and kitsch decor. It's always packed when it's time for concerts of country, rockabilly, rock'n'roll and other cowboy music. It's known for its wild atmosphere until the early hours of the morning. You don't have to wait long to see dancers clinging to the bar's pole dance bars! Try the Gold Rush, a cocktail to share with friends, and the Clint Eastwood, a spicy shot for real tough guys. Yyyhaaa !

The Forum is an Art Deco-style jewel in the heart of the Cité Ardente. The venue has played host to some of the world's finest voices, from Jacques Brel and Léo Ferré to Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles and Miles Davis, as well as Barbara, Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Julien Clerc and many others. Comedians also have their place on the Forum stage: Fernandel, Fernand Reynaud, Guy Bedos, Coluche, Les Inconnus and Jamel have all performed on this legendary Liege stage, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2022.

For some years now, the former Théâtre de la Place has been housed in the magnificent building of the prestigious Société libre de l'Émulation. Over the years, the Théâtre de Liège has acquired an international reputation. Its director, Serge Rangoni, has made a major contribution to the reputation of the institution, which constantly highlights Belgian and French-language creation. In fact, it co-produces shows orchestrated by the greatest stage directors and collaborates with contemporary choreographers, who also make the reputation of this creative venue.

Every year, the magnificent neoclassical Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège plays host to many exceptional artists: Ruggero Raimondi, Juan Diego Flórez, José Van Dam, José Cura, Elīna Garanča,... Since its creation in 1967, it has offered a program combining great classics and new discoveries, as well as numerous activities and concerts to discover the backstage, the music, learn to sing in workshops, meet with a performance artist, interactive musical presentations... The setting is sumptuous, to say the least.

The 650-seat cabaret puts on over 100 shows a year. With a room decorated entirely in red velvet and gold leaf paint, you're plunged straight into the feather-and-sequin atmosphere of Paris's Lido or Moulin Rouge. This small, centrally-located theater offers revues, vaudeville, music-hall, stand-up and variety shows. At the entrance, the glass doors are completely covered with current posters, enough to pique interest and help make a choice.

This alternative art studio is an association that aims to create artistic emulation at the crossroads of disciplines: shows, concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, dance, performances, experiments of all kinds, workshops for visual artists... the program is varied. We're happy to welcome you for a vernissage, a jazz jam or a small concert. Regular events such as "slow session de jazz acoustique", "ukulélé sur Meuse" and "carte blanche au conservatoire" are well worth a stopover.

In the heart of Liège, Blues-Sphère organizes concerts, jam sessions, evening shows and blues events. A true music enthusiast, Mr. Brillmaker programs "black roots" concerts, blues and African music, three or four times a week. The place, a little confined at the end of a long corridor, lends itself well to the exercise. The stage is ideally placed for the whole room to enjoy. A bar offers special beers at modest prices, and it's hard to say when you'll be coming out.

Here, we give artists a "short shrift", whatever their form of expression. The space organizes or hosts both amateur and professional theater, and enjoys partnerships, favoring co-productions. Theater workshops are also held here, and the "Young Audiences" - professional - shows are very popular. In addition, Liège's cultural centers provide entertainment before and after school performances, and the cafeteria exhibits the work of young artists on a monthly basis.

Two concert halls, a snack bar, an exhibition hall, offices, a creative room... Kultura is a trendy new venue in Liège dedicated to artistic creation, now open for three years. We appreciate its eclectic program of concerts (pop, rock, electro, hip hop, chanson d'auteur) by small, interesting and often fringe groups, and its themed evenings, often centred around international gastronomy, but also big, festive DJ nights. A place to discover for an evening.

Le Moderne is a venue, a company, an art gallery and a center for living culture. There's always something going on in this former cinema in the Sainte-Walburge district. Here, the emphasis is on young artists, which is why workshops are organized for young people (but not only). The theater company, regional, Belgian and even international artists perform here, and the evenings of shows and vernissages are always enriching in more ways than one.

This is the jazz club par excellence. What's more, it's housed in the home of Jacques Pelzer himself. Concerts are held here at 9 p.m. sharp, every Wednesday, and from time to time in a small, intimate room that fills up quickly (come a little before the concert). What's more, you can dine here on affordable home cooking (reservations essential). Varied jazzy programming, cocoon atmosphere, great vibe where neophytes and authentic jam enthusiasts mingle. We love this unique, high-perched venue.

This café-théâtre offers live shows, mainly comedies, all year round, welcoming big names in Belgian and French one-man shows , as well as plays, mainly boulevard theater. Renaud Rutten, Didier Boclinville, Albert Cougnet, Pierre Theunis, Bérénice and Guy Lemaire have all performed here. Shows run from Wednesday to Sunday. The restaurant offers a simple but attractive menu. The program and tickets are available online.
