It is the first time the festival comes to Brussels on this scale, and for the local LGBTQI+ scene it is one of the cultural highlights of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is less visible from the outside is the time and energy already invested. Members of the Various Voices board and the Brussels organising team have been working on this project for&nbsp;<strong>more than six years<\/strong>: building partnerships, booking venues, coordinating with Legato (the European LGBTQI+ choir network), planning logistics and imagining how to make thousands of singers feel at home in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-1024x768.jfif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-1024x768.jfif 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-300x225.jfif 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-768x576.jfif 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-1536x1152.jfif 1536w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42-16x12.jfif 16w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/574edb57-3d3e-408f-a150-8f6c9bfe9c42.jfif 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">105 volunteers, and counting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Sunday\u2019s meeting at&nbsp;<strong>Les Grands Carmes<\/strong>&nbsp;is the first big moment where the volunteer \u201cchoir\u201d comes together.

It is a rare moment where LGBTQI+ culture takes over some of the city\u2019s most prestigious venues through&nbsp;<strong>collective singing<\/strong>&nbsp;rather than big-name headliners. It also brings together choirs from across Europe (and beyond) that carry their own local stories of activism, care and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing&nbsp;<strong>4,200 singers<\/strong>&nbsp;land in the capital, rehearsing, exploring the city, performing in formal halls and informal pop\u2011up spaces, will be a powerful reminder that queer life is not just about nightlife or protest. It is also about harmony, breath, shared rhythms and the very physical experience of singing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For KET, this first volunteer meeting is a sign that everything is starting to click into place. The mood is building, slowly but surely, towards what promises to be one of the big highlights of Brussels\u2019 queer life in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in joining the volunteer team or want to know more about the programme, keep an eye on the official channels of Various Voices Brussels 2026 \u2013 and maybe start warming up your voice already, even if it is just for singing along in the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-768x1024.jfif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-768x1024.jfif 768w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-225x300.jfif 225w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-1152x1536.jfif 1152w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-9x12.jfif 9w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019-1024x1365.jfif 1024w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a1fef663-587c-4ad1-9d0e-f0c4bb877019.jfif 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>KET Magazine is a community\u2011driven, non\u2011profit magazine run by volunteers based in Brussels.
