One day, four very different acts: UK jazz-punk, legendary post-punk, experimental reinvention and noisy dance music, all at Botanique on 22 May 2027.
Les Nuits Botanique is one of Brussels’ best-loved spring festivals, and the 2027 edition is already shaping up nicely. On Saturday 22 May 2027, Botanique hosts a day with Maruja, Gang Of Four, Liars and Bathing Suits, with many more acts still to be announced. The day is labelled electronic, experimental and rock, and that’s exactly what the first four names deliver.
Line-Up
- Maruja
- Gang Of Four
- Liars
- Bathing Suits
- And many more (to be announced)
Who’s Playing?
Maruja
This Manchester band has become one of the most talked-about acts in the UK alternative scene. After three EPs, they released their 2025 debut album Pain to Power. Their sound blends jazz, punk, post-hardcore and improvisation, and their live shows have earned them sold-out tours across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia. In 2025, they were named BBC Radio 6 Music’s Artist of the Year.
Gang Of Four
A true post-punk institution. Gang Of Four formed in Leeds in 1976, and their 1979 debut album Entertainment! is widely regarded as a landmark of the genre, appearing in Rolling Stone’s all-time album lists and among NME’s best of 1979. The band has not retired, and the current line-up has been touring on and off in recent years. For fans of angular guitars and sharp, political lyrics, this is a rare chance to see them live.
Liars
Liars is the project of Australian composer, producer and performer Angus Andrew. Since 1999, it has reinvented itself with every release, drawing on composition, field recordings, improvisation and experimental studio work. Live, Andrew performs with an ensemble of collaborators, and the shows combine immersive sound with physical performance. Expect the unexpected.
Bathing Suits
This Leeds four-piece grew out of the city’s DIY party scene and makes dance music out of noise. Think pounding beats welded to atonal, effects-heavy guitars, with references from 80s no wave to PC Music. They signed to Underplay Recordings and released the debut EP KILL BATHING SUITS in April 2026. They also won the Steve Strange Award at The Great Escape. Their live shows are famously wild, so don’t expect to stand still.
