Motives Festival

A top-notch selection of Belgian jazz. The third edition of the nomadic Motives Festival becomes an XL version and chooses De Velinx as its setting. No fewer than ten Belgian bands and a children's show get a full-fledged spot at the festival. Motives Festival is brought to you by Motives For Jazz, an organization that has been presenting varied jazz events in Limburg since 1997. Motives for Jazz offers a balanced mix of accessible jazz, adventurous avant-garde and crossovers, featuring young talent and established names. Motives Festival is the annual highlight of this initiative, which visits a different fascinating location in the province each time. Immerse yourself in the best Belgian jazz has to offer, with special attention to Limburg talent. The '26 edition becomes extra special through an intensive collaboration with Belgium Booms x JazzLab. This program promoting our national jazz partners with a renowned jazz festival each year and secures four stage slots with the help of an international jury. The other acts are programmed by Motives Festival and De Velinx.
