If you need a mid‑winter reason to dust off your harness and book a trip to Brussels, La Demence has you covered. On Friday 20 February 2026, the legendary gay party takes over Fuse with three dancefloors, an all‑star European DJ line‑up and plenty of reasons to stay out well past sunrise. Tickets are already on sale at www.lademence.com (25 €, or 20 € if you’re under 26), with dedicated hotel deals and parking offers to make the weekend as smooth as possible.
Doors open at 22:00, and the team strongly suggests arriving early to dodge the queues and stake out your favourite spot on the floor. On Level 1, expect a big‑room, late‑night journey from Andrei Stan (RO) and UK heavyweights Paul Heron and Pagano, before French crowd‑pleaser Ben Manson closes the room from 05:30 to 08:00. Level 2 leans deep and driving, with Dikky Vendetta (NL), Mr. Cozzo (FR) and Chris Bekker (DE) taking you all the way to 11:00, while Level 3 keeps things fun and cheeky, from pop anthems with Bitchy Pop (BE) to a sunrise slot by Nick Van Acker (BE). Visuals will be in the hands of VJ Jeremy from AlexEtJeremy (NL), so expect a full‑on queer club experience rather than just a night out.
La Demence is also mapping out the rest of your year: party dates are locked for Sunday 5 April, Thursday 30 April, Sunday 24 May, Friday 25 September, and Friday 30 October 2026, which will kick off the brand’s 37th anniversary weekend. That birthday edition stretches over three nights at the end of October and start of November, with special tickets available from July 2026, so it’s worth planning ahead if you’re travelling from abroad or with a group. For those who want the full Brussels experience, partner hotels offer late checkout when booked via the dedicated link, and drivers can park at Parking Porte de Hal (Boulevard de Waterloo 103, 1000 Brussels) for 5 € per 24 hours, with a free shuttle running until 03:00 between the car park and Fuse.
Check www.lademence.com for tickets, hotel deals and maps before you pack your outfits and hit the dancefloor.
