After six unforgettable years on the Brussels nightlife scene, La Cabane is closing its doors, marking the end of an era for adventurous club-goers and the city’s underground music lovers.
Founded in 2019 by the pioneers at Play Label Records, La Cabane stood out as an intimate, unconventional “microclub”—a true insider’s destination. Nestled in a hidden corner of Brussels, the venue quickly became known for its avant-garde programming, welcoming both rising stars and major headliners from local and global electronic music scenes. Its unique wooden walls have played host to nights filled with fresh discoveries and festival favorites, earning the club cult status with partygoers seeking something different.
But as La Cabane announces its closure, it’s not just a building or a community that fades. The challenges faced by Brussels nightlife are mounting. Clubs and music venues all over the city are struggling with rising costs, regulatory pressures, and changing social dynamics. Many legendary spots have already disappeared, and the closure of La Cabane underscores how vulnerable creative spaces are in today’s climate.
