After a standout first edition, Abrupt returns to Brussels this October, sharper, more focused, and more connected to the tensions shaping sound and culture than ever.
From 8 to 12 October, Abrupt unfolds across a series of distinctive venues in Brussels. The festival presents a curated selection of live performances, club nights, talks, and gatherings, each one tuned to the shifting frequencies of a hyperdiverse musical landscape.
Organised by the non-profit behind Reset, the temporary brutalist cultural space in central Brussels, Abrupt reflects the organisation’s broader commitment to independent artistic creation.

For two nights in a row, Abrupt will take over both rooms of Reset with idiosyncratic club music, aiming to shed a light on the most exciting subcultures in contemporary techno and beyond.

An ephemeral artistic, cultural and social laboratory, but also a place for exchange and dialogue, Reset is a place of raw architecture and a space in transition that has been open to the public since 2022. It gives a voice to local and European cultural players through exhibitions, public debates, club nights and much more.
