Midwest Emo band American Football is coming to Belgium for the very first time on June 23, 2026 at La Madeleine in Brussels
It’s hard to quantify the impact that American Football has had on alternative music as a whole. Almost every single emo or indie band to have sprouted after the release of the colloquially known LP1 wear a part of its existence in their sonic identity. And it’s exactly that, that they’ve spent celebrating the last two years: 25 years since the release of this legendary album.
Known for their blend of Soft Jazz, intricate Math Rock guitarwork and the slightest Emotional Hardcore touch, their sonority is among some of the most recognizable across modern guitar music. It’s heartfelt and raw, taking you across a trip down memory lane. Back when summers were everything you looked forward to. Back when your biggest worries were the upcoming school exams.
See you on the 23rd of June at La Madeleine to witness this cornerstone of alternative music. Joining them are Marconi Union, one of the most popular Ambient music to emerge from the 21st Century.
