What is Different Class?

Why we do this

‍

As you embark on your journey into Different Clas, whether it’s at our concerts,
parties, other events, or on our media channels, we wanted to take a moment to
bring you behind the scenes and share the story of our project, along with the
mission that drives it all.

Our mission is to provide a nurturing platform for emerging musicians and artists, helping them shine and build meaningful connections with a dedicated, engaged audience.
‍

how it started

In 2011, we recognised the need for a platform that not only showcased emerging artists but also helped them cultivate a genuine fan base. That vision led us to
launch Different Class in Belgium. Our goal was simple: to make it easier for
people to discover exceptional new talent while providing young artists with the
exposure and support they truly deserve.

Over the years, our vision has only grown stronger. One of our favourite
memories from over a decade of experience is when Mykki Blanco embraced us
warmly after we organised one of their first concerts in Belgium. Moments like
these remind us of the impact Different Class has and the incredible power of art
to connect.
‍
an accessible membership

Different Class is built on an accessible membership model, giving you free
access to some of the most exciting parties, concerts, performances, exhibitions, and films in Belgium. We’re a membership-driven organisation, meaning that we
get our fuel from your monthly payments. In return, you and the rest of our
members gain free entry to around 20 curated events each month; a gateway to
Belgium’s vibrant music and arts scene.

By keeping our prices affordable, we aim to be an accessible ally for anyone
looking to discover new music and art in Belgium.
‍
creating memorable experiences

We aim to create unforgettable experiences that connect you with new artists
and perspectives. Through our concerts, events, bi-monthly magazine, website,
and social media, we’re dedicated to showcasing the best new talent and offering vibrant cultural experiences in music, art, and culture that Belgium has to offer.

With the support of over 50 partners in the cultural and creative sector, we’re
dedicated to building collective experiences that foster conversation and
connection. We envision Different Class as a welcoming space that grows with its members, evolving alongside the people and culture around it.
‍
part of something bigger

Our membership helps us create a sustainable community that can help itself to
build, grow and invest in a more progressive and inclusive field of recreation and art. We are sure you will discover great artists through Different Class, meet
like-minded people and visit new venues regularly.
