The Belgian capital is beautiful, cosmopolitan, welcoming and, of course, cool. It is a total contrast to the gloominess and stress of Parisian life which is only an hour and a half away…and it is just three hours from Lyon! Since the Carte Blanche concept was introduced in 2002, Brussels has always been a strong candidate, but was temporarily put aside for some other irresistible cities like Berlin, Manchester, Tokyo and Montreal. Today, it is Brussels’ time to shine! Nuits sonores has declared its love for this wonderful European Metropololis having discovered it through visits, meetings, concerts and nighttime explorations. The festival program from Brussels is sure to be one of the most enriching and adventurous programs so far. Brussels is made so exceptional by the abundance of creativity, diversity and projects continually going on. The Brussels Carte Blanche could have gone way beyond our limits due to the huge amount of proposals and opportunities that came our way. Talent in Brussels stretches across a number of artistic disciplines and the locals certainly know how to make the most of what their city has to offer. For this reason, we have chosen not only to focus on the music scene, but to also present a huge panorama of the city including cinema, video, clips, graphic design, food and cycling! 8 MORE information ON nuits-SONORES.com NUITS SONORES PRESS KIT ns days - CARTE BLANCHE TO BRUSSELS VISUAL PROGRAMME Sélection of movies for adults and chlidren at Les Subsistances.
