Brussels’ south-western edge is getting a full-season lift-off on Saturday 25 April 2026, as Circle Park x La Fabriek presents a 16-hour open-air-to-club experience in Anderlecht. The event runs from 2 pm to 6 am, moving from the park into La Fabriek as day turns to night, and it marks a shift toward a more in-house curatorial direction for Circle Park.
The daytime programme opens in the park with Sarah Wanita, Sookie B2B STDJ, Nosedrip, and a live set from Legowelt, before the afterparty takes over at La Fabriek with Justine Ferrer, dirtydms, and GAIKO. The result is designed as a single continuous journey rather than two separate events: open-air freedom first, then basement energy after dark.
A queer-friendly summer ritual
For Ket readers, the appeal is not only musical but spatial. Circle Park has become one of Brussels’ most interesting seasonal gathering points, turning a former industrial site into an outdoor playground for dance music, while La Fabriek extends that energy into a darker indoor setting just next door.
That dual format matters in a queer context because it creates room for multiple social rhythms: sunlit mingling, late-afternoon cruising, club intensity and post-midnight release. Anderlecht is increasingly home to spaces and projects that support inclusive nightlife, and this event fits that broader shift toward more porous, community-driven party culture.
What changes this year
This edition also marks the transition from CP Invites to CP Presents, a sign that Circle Park is taking a more direct hand in shaping its own cultural identity. In practical terms, that means a stronger editorial line and a clearer sense of the atmosphere the team wants to build across the summer.
The organisers also highlight the return of the Summer Pass, which gives access to both Circle Park and La Fabriek every Saturday, reinforcing the idea of a linked day-and-night ecosystem rather than isolated parties. Tickets are available through the official links shared by the organisers and the City of Anderlecht agenda.

Circle Park x La Fabriek presents takes place on 25 April 2026 at Circle Park, Anderlecht, with the park programme starting at 2 pm and the indoor afterparty running until 6 am. More information is available on the official Anderlecht agenda, the Circle Park Instagram, and the La Fabriek Instagram.
