Dylan – Ancienne Belgique – 06 February
The young singer Dylan will grace the stage at Ancienne Belgique for what promises to be an exceptional concert, following her electrifying performance at the Trix Club last year. Originally scheduled for last November, the concert was postponed by the singer herself to allow for more time to prepare and deliver an unforgettable show.
Simple Plan – De Roma – 07 February
Who hasn’t belted out ‘I’m Just A Kid’ or ‘Welcome to My Life’ at the top of their lungs?

To make it the perfect pop-punk night, they’ll be joined by Mayday Parade and State Champs!

What could be better than a headline gig at Kavka Oudaan to discover this new lineup?
