Charleroi 🇧🇪 & Vive la Fête, Charleroi 🇧🇪

Charleroi is a city and a municipality of Wallonia, located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. The inhabitants are called Carolorégiens or simply Carolos.

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.

The story

Combining a photography walk in the grungy city of Charleroi with a great concert by Vive la Fête!
