Vive la Fête

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

De Roma

De Roma, originally Kinema Roma, is an Art Deco cultural centre and performance venue in Borgerhout, Antwerp.

Antwerpen (Antwerp)

Antwerp is the largest city in Belgium by area at 204.51 km² and the capital of Antwerp Province in the Flemish Region.

Another Vive la Fête concert, this time at De Roma in Antwerp. Luckily, they only performed the good old tracks we all know and like – great show! And unlike last time, even Danny was in a good mood!
