Open Air Parties and more

David Guetta takes over Zeebrugge Beach with The Monolith Tour on 8 August. This is the most ambitious production of Guetta's career: a groundbreaking mix of music, technology and visual design. At its heart is an impressive stage in the shape of a monolith, creating a total experience that pushes the boundaries of live electronic music. After three years of touring the world and conquering iconic venues, including the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille and soon the Stade de France in Paris, this is one of the last chances to experience the show in its entirety. This time in the unique setting of the Belgian coast, where Zeebrugge beach will be transformed into a true open-air arena. Get your tickets here.
