September

Thu 19 Sep     19u30

Antwerp-based Gnome present their third album: Vestiges of Verumex Visidrome. 
The trio rips, pops and thunders through a landscape of stoner, prog and heavy metal, populated by mythical figures and with adventurous twists and turns. 

After the release of “King” (2022) and the success of their self-made music videos, the band gained live experience on tours in Europe, UK and US. 
Gnome headed to London in April 2024 to record their bigger, increasingly greasy sound under the direction of Wayne Adams.

A Page of Madness
music

Wiegedood is the Belgian pride of black metal. The trio - Levy Seynaeve (vocals, guitar), Wim Coppers (drums) and Gilles Demolder (guitar) - is internationally known for their rabid music and rock-solid live reputation.

At De Studio, they will play a complete new soundtrack to Teinosuke Kinugasa's enigmatic Japanese silent film A Page of Madness (1926), a long-lost masterpiece set in a mental institution.

Expect electro-acoustic soundscapes, ferocious outbursts and some ingeniously incorporated snippets of existing Wiegedood songs.

No frills, no drama, Just banging tunes and DJ sets and Dirty dance floors and Dreams of Naughtiness.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice, these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect
party. Just like the perfect loaf of bread, Radio Hot Buns has been cooking and rising in size.
The recipe remains the same—whimsical pleasure reflected in the dancers' faces, paired
with undefinable, high-quality electronic music that keeps you moving, four by four.

Fade Into You is a nocturnal festival in where you can get lost and disappear. You will wander freely through all the rooms of De Studio, which will undulate at the seams during the endless stream of live music, (dance) performances, visual arts and DJ sets. Find the light in each other's eyes and dance the night away, until you see the first streaks of sunshine creep in, veiled in darkness, and awaken from this sultry summer dream.

Sun 8 Dec     20u30

Voetvolk
music

Dance meets concert, that’s Into The Open’s pledge.

Seven performers embody the groove and share the energy of the music. They spur each other on with pimped krautrock from 2022, or Can’s repetitive theme crossed with The Chemical Brothers’ high voltage.

Voetvolk welcomes you for a wild, collective leap into limbo. Let’s trance!

The Colorist Orchestra plays new instrumental pop music. The orchestra reworks well-known instrumental hits into new compositions, often with only subtle references to the original. This 'recomposed music' is inspired by genres as diverse as disco, electronica, classical music and traditional folklore, with one goal in mind: to make you dance. The Colorist Orchestra aims to reevaluate lost music and breathe new life into it, by recoloring recognizable melodies and experimenting with new sound combinations.
