Swedish House Mafia Antwerpen 2012

Posted on October 4, 2012January 2, 2014 by worldcityguides

On their last tour before a small break Swedish House Mafia will come to Sportpaleis in Antwerpen to perform. The band has been active since it was formed in Stockholm in 2008, and on this tour they will visit places all around the globe. The band has gotten positive and negative attention, and especially their concert in Phoenix Park in Ireland in July 2012 got a lot of attention, not really because of Swedish House Mafia, but because of other incidents taking place.

Swedish House Mafia is a electronic dance trio, and on December 1st they will play their music and you are invited to dance along in Antwerpen. Why not use this chance to see them live for the last time before they take a break?

Pink Antwerpen 2013

Posted on October 2, 2012January 2, 2014 by worldcityguides

We are a Brussels Guide, but whoever knows the music industry and life in Belgium knows the fact that the hottest concerts in the nation are normally organized in Antwerpen. The venue Sportpaleis is listed among the five busiest concert venues in the world at the moment and this time the venue will be visited by Pink. The date is April 30th in 2013, so quite far away still, but you better be prepared and order your ticket if you want to be there, because it will for sure be packed and crowded with fans… and let us not forget – sold out, within shortly.

Tickets to the Pink concert in Antwerpen can be bought using the links on this page, and if you visit any of those pages you can also buy tickets to the other Pink concerts in other European cities in 2013, such as Vienna, Oslo, Prague, Paris, London, Dublin and lots of other.

Pink was born in 1979 and she has always had a great talent. She knows how to play the piano, keyboards, drums and guitar, but still we know her first of all as a singer. Her public career started in 1995. First she was a member of the girl group Choice, but her real super breakthrough came as she went solo and released her first album in year 2000. Since then she has released 6 studio albums. The last album was released on September 18th in 2012 (order it from amazon.com). The title was The Truth About Love. Pink for sure knows something about love, and much more now than some years ago, because after she released her Greatest Hits So Far album in 2010 she had a break to give birth to her son Willow, and after a childbirth one do know a whole lot more about love. If this has influenced her as a performer we do not know yet, but it is great to have examples of women who take a break and enjoy the wonders of family life at the same time as she is one of the hottest artists in the world at the moment. Go for it!

If you want to see P!nk in Antwerpen on April 30th in 2013, then plan your stay, and do not forget to visit Brussels as well while in Belgium. If you would like to see Pink once more in 2013, why not visit Amsterdam to be there at the Pink concert in Ziggodome on April 19th?

Amy Macdonald Brussels 2012

Posted on September 11, 2012January 2, 2014 by worldcityguides

Amy Macdonald will be visiting lots of large and important European cities this autumn/winter, for example Paris, Amsterdam and of course Brussels. Amy will come to Brussels to perform in Ancienne Belgique on December 2nd, and if you want tickets for her Brussels concert, you should use the WorldTicketShop link in the bottom of this page.

Amy Macdonald will be touring celebrating her new album which was recently released, and most songs on this concert will be from the new album, so make sure to buy the new album before the concert, so that you can stand prepared and sing along on all her new songs. Some old hits can be expected as well, and hopefully the biggest hit of all, This is the Life, will be played during her concert in Brussels.

Did you know that Amy Macdonald is only 27 years old? It feels like if she has been around for a long time, but in fact she started her public career only in 2007, meaning she has had it going for only 5 years. Still, she has enjoyed great success so far, and maybe this tour will make her an even larger star in the eyes of many, both young and old.

If you would like to be among the lucky people who get to see her live in Brussels, order your tickets using any of the links on this page. While in Brussels, do not forget to visit some of the cool attractions of the town!
