Discover up-and-coming Brussels talent in the preliminary rounds of Sound Track

Just like for the first edition of Sound Track, hundreds of ambitious artists have once again taken their chances for the course of stages and live opportunities organised by VI.BE and the live sector. The demo jury eventually selected 136 artists to make it through to the regional pre-selections and prove that they really are the Sound of Tomorrow.

Even after a year and a half of silent stages, the second edition of Sound Track has proven that musical Brussels and Flanders wasn’t sitting still in its rehearsal spaces. When listening to the entries, that was something that was immediately clear to the initiators of Sound Track – a mass alliance between VI.BE, Clubcircuit, AB, the Brussels youth centres, and no less than 18 Flemish and Brussels music clubs. A noteworthy aspect of the entries: a huge number of solo pop-acts, electro-jazzers and hip-hoppers got around to registering with VI.BE this year.
