Brussels, May 6, 2024 – Les Nuits Botanique, the renowned music festival that merges musical discovery with an eclectic lineup, has wrapped up its 31st edition with resounding success despite facing unprecedented weather challenges and a flurry of cancellations. 

Organizers have hailed the event as a triumph, drawing over 27,000 music enthusiasts who flocked to witness 150 artists across five stages during the 12-day extravaganza from April 24 to May 5.

Despite adverse weather conditions and a record-breaking nine cancellations, 13 shows sold out, underscoring the festival’s enduring appeal and the unwavering dedication of its loyal fan base.

One of the standout features of the 2024 edition was “The Garden Party,” which debuted in 2023 and was further amplified this year, captivating attendees with its vibrant ambiance and diverse musical offerings. 

Additionally, “Bota by Night” on April 27th kept the festivities alive well into the early hours, showcasing the vibrant nightlife scene that Les Nuits Botanique is renowned for.
