When spring arrives, it signals the approaching end of concert season, making way for festival season… but April still has plenty of shows to offer. Unsure what to choose? Here’s our selection of the 15 “big shows” not to be missed in Belgium in April 2025.
01 – Limp Bizkit – Sportpaleis – 01/04/2025
Nu-metal legends Limp Bizkit are back in Belgium! After one of the rowdiest, most savage shows of the Main Stage at Graspop 2024, the American mastodons are set to tear the Antwerp Sportpaleis in half. For the uninitiated, Limp Bizkit’s infectious rap-metal mix and bouncy delivery will keep you off your feet. Joining them are special guests from across the musical spectrum: Bones, Ecca Vandal, N8NOFACE, Karen Dió, and Riff Raff. Ready to break stuff?
02 – Eisbrecher – Trix – 08/04/2025
German industrial metal band Eisbrecher, a key force in the Neue Deutsche Härte movement, is making their return to Belgium! Formed in 2002 by former MEGAHERZ members Alexx Wesselsky and Noel Pix, Eisbrecher crafts a sound reminiscent of Rammstein but with an opposing aesthetic—embracing ice and water instead of fire. Joining them on this powerful night of industrial metal are their compatriots HELDMASCHINE, who will be showcasing their sixth album, Flächenbrand. Get ready for a storm of heavy riffs and icy intensity at the Trix!
03 – Godsmack – Forest National – 09/04/2025
Get ready for a night of early 2000s alternative metal nostalgia! Godsmack will bring their biggest riffs to Forest National, and despite the title of their hit ‘I Stand Alone’, they won’t be standing alone. Joining them are two legendary bands that helped shape metal in the 2000s: P.O.D. and Drowning Pool! An unmissable night of heavy-hitting anthems and pure energy—make sure you’re there!
04 – Baby Lasagna – Trix – 12/04/2025
After giving Croatia their best-ever Eurovision result with his pop-rock-meets-industrial-metal earworm ‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim’, Baby Lasagna skyrocketed to international recognition. Let’s be real—coming in second in the world’s biggest music contest, with over 160 million viewers offering him 337 points, is a hell of a way to launch a career. His electrifying stage presence and unique sound guarantee one of the best shows of the month.
Catch him at Trix on April 12th!
05 – Anastacia – Ancienne Belgique – 14/04/2025
The queen of Sprock returns to Ancienne Belgique on April 14 for a night of powerhouse vocals and anthemic hits! With a voice that’s just as iconic as ever expect a night filled with soaring vocals and timeless anthems, from Left Outside Alone to I’m Outta Love and beyond. Our ever-moshing fans might remember Malevolence’s 2023 cover of Left Outside Alone — now it’s time to experience the original in all its raw energy.
06 – Dizzee Rascal – Ancienne Belgique – 16/04/2025
Dizzee Rascal, English grime legend and bassline junkie, is coming back to Belgium.

Fix up, look sharp and don’t sleep on it!
07 – Central Cee – Forest National – 16/04/2025
UK rap sensation Central Cee is set to take over Forest National!

Squid will be at the Trix in Antwerp on Wednesday April 16.
09 – Harry Mack – Forest National – 21/04/2025
Although the name Harry Mack might not immediately ring a bell, the 2.9 million YouTube followers of this rapper, producer and drummer from Portland (USA), might beg the difference. Harry Mack has proven to be a top notch freestyler in his extremely popular Omegle and Guerially Bars YouTube series, which resulted in him performing along legendary artists like Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar and Joey Bada$$. Get ready to have your jaw dropped, at least if you were quick enough to cop a ticket, because his show on April 21 at Ancienne Belgique is all sold out!

11 – Tyler The Creator – Sportpaleis – 25/04/2025
Tyler, The Creator is not only one of the most versatile musicians, songwriters, performers, producers, directors and overall creatives, but also one of the most unpredictable. From being banned in the UK, to his controversial commercials for Mountain Dew, his Loiter Squad TV-show, his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival festival or releasing multilayered records that leave fans looking for hints, Tyler, The Creator aka Wolf Haley, Bunnyhop or Morgan freeman’s son, has become both a pop and a fashion icon. His ‘CHROMAKOPIA World Tour’ promises to be a musical and visual spectacle in the visionary fashion that Tyler, The Creator has become known for. His show at Sportpaleis in Antwerp on April 25 is long sold out and is going to be incredible.
12 – Chase Atlantic – Forest National – 26/04/2025

14 – Viagra Boys – Ancienne Belgique – 26/04/2025
Sweden’s finest troublemakers are hitting Ancienne Belgique, and you already know it’s gonna be pure chaos! Viagra Boys bring the kind of unhinged, sweaty, bass-heavy punk that turns a gig into a full-blown riot. Expect filthy riffs, pounding beats, a wild sax, and Sebastian Murphy stumbling around like the world’s coolest mess. It’s loud, it’s weird, and it’s gonna be one hell of a night.
15 – Chat Pile – Trix – 27/04/2025
Like the towering mounds of toxic waste from which they take their name, the noise rock quartet Chat Pile is coming to cover Trix in existential anguish. Expect a suffocating, grotesque vision of the state of the 21st century. Topping underground international charts, the Oklahoma-made band has been steamrolling across the globe. Joining them is none other than boundary-pushing Agriculture. Self-described as ecstatic black metal, the LA-based band brings one of the freshest underground sounds to Belgium for their second pass in less than a year.
