About Le Forum
Le Forum is Liège’s 600–2,000-seat performance house, a variable capacity that accommodates theatre-scale sets and concert crowds. Its distinguishing feature sits above the audience experience: architect Jean Lejaer’s 1920–21 Art Deco hall, entered through a foyer crowned with polychrome stained glass. The venue’s scale and preserved decorative interior give a seated pop or rock bill the feel of a formal night out.
A cinema rescued for the stage
Arthur Mathonet initiated Le Forum, which opened on September 30, 1922 as a cinema, music-hall and operetta venue. Jean Lejaer designed the Art Deco auditorium, while an earlier 1891 façade supplied its eclectic street face. The building’s pivotal chapter came during the early 1980s, when it closed amid safety and condition concerns; public intervention, restoration and reopening in 1989 kept a proposed commercial-gallery future from becoming reality. The restored house returned as a major Walloon presenting venue for concerts, theatre, musicals, ballet and comedy.
A sharply dated music moment arrived during the centenary celebrations: Patrick Bruel selected Le Forum for the capture of his final tour on October 7 and 8, 2022. That choice fits a room built for polished, seated productions and television-ready spectacle, with the historical setting doing visible work around the performance.
The experience now
Le Forum runs a broad, presenter-led programme instead of attaching itself to one scene. Classical, pop, rock, folk, R&B, alternative, Latin and indie concerts share the bill with variety, comedy, theatre, musicals and ballet. Inside, the parterre now runs without its former central aisle, and production cases enter through a discreet rear-stage access from rue du Mouton Blanc. Expect a traditional seated-room experience, with the stained-glass foyer providing the first architectural flourish before the curtain rises.
