The useful Brussels route for Thursday 10 through Sunday 13 September is unusually concentrated this week: three successive evenings at Cirque Royal bring the scale of a major room into close contact with song-led arrangements. Slimane plays Thursday 10 and Friday 11 September, both at 20:00, before HAEVN arrives on Saturday 12 September at 20:00 with its Terra Nova Tour. The common thread is arrangement as atmosphere: a piano-and-voice setting on the first two nights, then a Dutch duo’s concert built around piano, voice, electronic texture and a string quartet. It is a compact run for listeners who prefer songs with space around them.[1][2][3][4][5]

Cirque Royal’s own programme currently marks both Slimane dates and the HAEVN concert as sold out, making this a guide for those already holding tickets, plus anyone watching official channels for late availability. The venue sits at Rue de l’Enseignement 81 in central Brussels and advises audiences to use its listed official ticketing channels. That practical point matters for a three-night run where availability can change quickly. Each concert’s official page lists doors at 19:00, leaving an hour before the 20:00 starts.[1][2][3][4]

Slimane, piano and voice on Thursday and Friday

Slimane’s two candidate dates form the centre of the run: Thursday 10 September and Friday 11 September. The presentation is explicitly billed as a piano-and-voice concert, with Yaacov Salah accompanying him on piano. That format gives the evenings a clear frame. Slimane is widely known for a career that reached a large audience through his 2016 victory on The Voice in France, while his 2024 Eurovision entry “Mon amour” placed fourth for France. The Brussels booking returns attention to the elemental materials described by the venue: one singer, one pianist and songs given room to carry the evening.[2][3][6]

The appeal lies in hearing a familiar pop figure in a pared-back setting across two consecutive nights. Cirque Royal describes the four-date Brussels series as a look back over ten years of music and songs; the Thursday and Friday performances are its final dates. For Thursday ticket-holders, the concert begins at 20:00 after 19:00 doors. Friday follows the same schedule. The official listing identifies SOLA as the support act on both pages, though the central musical focus remains Slimane’s voice with Salah’s piano accompaniment.[2][3]

HAEVN brings Terra Nova with strings on Saturday

Saturday shifts the colour palette while retaining the week’s preference for detail. HAEVN, formed by singer-songwriter Marijn van der Meer and film composer Jorrit Kleijnen, brings the Terra Nova Tour to Cirque Royal on 12 September. The venue says the group will be joined by a string quartet, a significant detail for a project whose official materials place music and storytelling at its core. Its own description highlights the meeting of Marijn’s songwriting with Jorrit’s compositional perspective; Cirque Royal characterises the result through piano lines, strings and subtle electronic textures. The show starts at 20:00, with doors at 19:00.[4][5]

That makes HAEVN a fitting final chapter after Slimane’s stripped-back pair of dates. The Saturday concert expands from voice-and-piano intimacy into a fuller ensemble sound without leaving the song format behind. HAEVN’s official tour page lists Brussels as the opening September date before stops in Zurich, Prague, Vienna, Kraków, Leipzig and London, placing the Cirque Royal show at the front edge of this European run. For an audience choosing one concert from the weekend, it offers the broadest instrumental frame of the three nights.[4][5]

Practical route through the run

All three shows take place at Cirque Royal, Rue de l’Enseignement 81, 1000 Brussels: Slimane on Thursday 10 September at 20:00 and Friday 11 September at 20:00, then HAEVN on Saturday 12 September at 20:00. Doors are listed for 19:00 on each night. The current official programme shows these concerts as sold out, with HAEVN’s venue listing directing people to a waiting list.
