Tuesday TV Takes Over Vaux-Hall: Queer‑Friendly Open Air for Belgium’s National Day Eve

On the eve of Belgium’s National Day, cultural media TUESDAY tv turns Vaux‑Hall in Parc de Bruxelles into a sun‑down dancefloor with a 100% Belgian line‑up. From 16:00 to 23:00, FAIS LE BEAU, BIBI SECK and SOFTY deliver a summer soundtrack in one of the city’s most beautiful outdoor spots. With the next day a holiday, the idea is simple: stay late, enjoy the park, and celebrate Brussels, music and community together.

A Cultural Media Goes Offline

TUESDAY tv is a Brussels‑based cultural media dedicated to promoting musical artists by filming and broadcasting DJ sets and live performances. Usually present on screens and feeds, the project steps into physical space for this special Belgian National Day Open Air at Vaux‑Hall.

Vaux‑Hall Summer is already one of the season’s key meeting points, with concerts, films and creative events in Parc de Bruxelles. Bringing Tuesday TV into the programme adds a club‑inflected, DJ‑driven dimension: an evening where media, nightlife and public space converge in the centre of the city.

FAIS LE BEAU, BIBI SECK, SOFTY: A Local Dream Team

The line‑up is proudly Belgian. Headliner FAIS LE BEAU is a Brussels‑based DJ and co‑founder of Gay Haze, the iconic LGBTQ+ party series. His sets blend house with tribal and progressive influences, playing with tension before dropping euphoric, nostalgic moments that feel tailor‑made for queer dancefloors.

He’s joined by BIBI SECK, known on the Brussels scene for energetic, rhythm‑forward selections that speak to both underground heads and casual listeners, and SOFTY, whose name hints at a more melodic, gentle approach without losing dancefloor focus. Together, they draw a line between different corners of Belgium’s club culture, united by groove rather than genre dogma.

For queer and allied audiences, having a Gay Haze co‑founder at the top of the bill gives the event a strong queer‑friendly anchor, even if the night itself is open to all.

Sunset in the Park, Holiday the Next Day

Practically, the event runs from 4PM to 11PM – or 16:00 → 23:00 – making full use of the golden hours and sunset in Parc de Bruxelles. The setting is highly photogenic: tree canopies, historic architecture, soft evening light and a crowd gathered around the Vaux‑Hall structure.

One key detail in the organisers’ communication: the day after is a holiday. That means no early alarm clocks, no rushed departures and plenty of room to let the evening stretch. For many queers and friends who juggle work, nightlife and activism, this kind of timing can make the difference between “I’ll try to swing by for an hour” and “I’ll actually stay, dance and reconnect.”

Why It Matters for Queer Brussels

Brussels’ National Day celebrations often centre big mainstream events at Cinquantenaire or Parc Royal, with pop line‑ups and televised shows. A Tuesday TV open‑air at Vaux‑Hall adds another layer: a more intimate, DJ‑led, queer‑friendly space where local artists and communities can celebrate in their own way.

It also continues a pattern Ket has been following across the city: cultural and nightlife actors claiming public spaces as shared playgrounds – from queer festivals at Circle Park to choir gatherings in Brussels Park. Putting FAIS LE BEAU and other local DJs at the heart of a National Day eve event says that Belgian identity can include club culture, queer joy and diverse sounds, not just flags and parades.
