Brussels’ queer-friendly electronic scene is heading outdoors again on Sunday 10 May 2026, as Flora returns with Vauxhall Open Air at Parc Royal / Vaux Hall, from 2 pm to 10 pm. The second edition is part of the city’s Fête de l’Iris celebrations and promises an afternoon-to-evening soundtrack of house, groove and high-energy club cuts.
Set in the heart of the royal park, the event brings together a lineup designed for open-air dancing and sunny-day communion: KAYU, Mambele B2B Raph Stark, Séa B2B VTT, and Binary Digit. Flora frames the gathering as a celebration of sound, community and the warm-season return of Brussels’ outdoor party culture.

A park dancefloor for Brussels
Vauxhall Open Air takes place at the Vaux Hall in Parc de Bruxelles, a setting that has become closely linked with the city’s cultural summer programming. The event runs in the framework of the Fête de l’Iris, which fills the Quartier royal with free activities, performances and public celebrations each May.
For Brussels queer audiences, the appeal is not only the music but the atmosphere: an inclusive daytime party in a central public space, with a line-up that reflects the city’s open, forward-looking club energy. Flora’s programming has consistently connected nightlife with community spirit, and this open-air edition continues that approach in a more relaxed, sunlit setting.

Lineup and format
The bill brings together solo sets and back-to-back pairings, a format that often creates more fluid, playful transitions on the dancefloor. Mambele B2B Raph Stark and Séa B2B VTT are set alongside KAYU and Binary Digit, making for a mix that should move between deeper grooves and more propulsive rhythms.
According to the City of Brussels event listing, the party is scheduled from 14:00 to 22:00 on 10 May 2026. That timing makes it easy to treat the event as a full afternoon hangout, a sunset dance session, or a pre-night-out warm-up.
