Micro Festival 2026

Profesionnal Activities

From Friday August 7th to Sunday, August 9th, the 16th edition of Micro Festival will take place in Liège. Once again, the festival will showcase many Belgian artists in its lineup including emerging and standout names.

For the third time and in collaboration with Micro Festival and the support of SABAM, we will organize a visitor program for international bookers and promoters to connect them with the Belgian acts and their entourages. This program will include the following moments:

• A Belgium Booms (WBM) drinks reception scheduled for Friday 7 August at 5.30 pm @ New Space, an exhibition hall located next to the festival site.

• A networking lunch, supported by SABAM & WBM, scheduled for Saturday 8 August at 11.30 am @ La Cité s’Invente, an eco-centre surrounded by nature just a stone’s throw from the festival site.

• A walk around Liège on Sunday 9 August at 12 noon, exploring the Coteaux de la Citadelle, Bueren Hill and the Batte market. We’ll finish off with some chips in the lovely Rue En Neuvice.
