Rave Rebels has announced its return to Belgium later this year for a 12-hour event at Brussels Expo on October 8.

Kicking off at 7:30:PM, the night promises an immersive experience with visuals and light to accompany the heavy techno beats, taking place across two rooms for the first time in Rave Rebels' history.

Mega names on the line-up include Solomun, Joris Voorn, Paula Temple, Mall Grab and Ellen Allien. Homegrown talents Cherry Moon Trax and Joyhauser b2b Push are also on the bill.

“Brussels is a gracious and fruitful environment for the development of new events and concepts," the organisers of Rave Rebels explain. "Furthermore, Brussels-based ravers are very familiar with electronic music and keen on partying.

"The central location of the European capital also allows us to attract both nationwide and international audiences. We’re totally ready for the next round."

Belgium has a strong reputation for its love for techno, with last year's act Enrico Sangiuliano describing its ravers as having "techno blood rushing their veins", "all driven by the strong techno culture which has been around for many years".
