📌DESPERATE JOURNALIST (UK)
We’re thrilled to welcome Desperate Journalist for their show in Brussels on May 8.
Hailing from London, Desperate Journalist have built a strong reputation on the indie scene with their powerful blend of post-punk energy, shimmering guitars and striking vocals. Fronted by the captivating Jo Bevan, the band delivers intense and emotional performances that have won over audiences across the UK and Europe, catching the attention of Brett Anderson (Suede) and Robert Smith (The Cure) along the way.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to see them live in Brussels for their first time back since 2019 — it’s going to be a memorable night.

📌HOTEL DU GLOBE
Their elegant rock music captivates audiences wherever they perform. Labelling them as post-punk, new wave or indie is reductive: their music is eclectic, which is part of its charm. They are both authentic and in tune with the times.
In 2024, they crossed the Channel for their first seven-date tour of the United Kingdom, winning over a British audience that is as demanding as it is knowledgeable. The momentum continued in 2025 with three new dates, including a remarkable opening act for the legendary Wasted Youth.
The band also performed two years in a row at Kult41 in Bonn, confirming the growing popularity of their project beyond borders.
