The Festival

Curated by Fuse, Belgium’s longest-running techno retreat, XRDS – Crossroads Festival returns on August 15 and 16, 2025.

Over two days and three stages, more than 50 artists will shape a soundscape that draws you in and keeps you there. Nestled in the heart of Brussels, XRDS unfolds in a setting like no other, tucked beneath towering highways, yet cradled by the quiet beauty of Parc des Étangs / Vijverspark. Here, the hum of the city fades into a different kind of rhythm, where concrete and canopy intertwine, and dance floors emerge in the most unexpected of places.

From leftfield house to techno, with detours into breaks, drum & bass, and beyond, XRDS welcomes a mix of local pioneers and global visionaries. Carefully chosen yet full of surprises, our program aims to be open, adventurous, and always evolving.

Your green escape beneath Brussels’ viaducts, Vijverspark / Parc des Étangs, is a maze of earthy paths, dense forests, and quiet grassy planes, framed by towering concrete giants. A park we cherish and protect, with a growing commitment to its preservation.

As a boutique festival with a DIY spirit, XRDS thrives in the in-between, where concrete meets nature, and subcultures collide. Set against the brutalist backdrop of Anderlecht, it mirrors the city itself: raw, layered, and ever-evolving.
