Belgium Booms: showcases at the Reeperbahn Festival and the MaMA Festival & Convention
This autumn Flanders Arts Institute, under the colours of Belgium Booms, will once more back a number of showcases by Belgian artists and bands at festivals abroad. In late September the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg (DE) will be on the programme, and in mid October it will be the turn of the MaMA Festival & Convention in Paris (FR).
