🎵 How does the springboard competition work?

Auberges en Scène unfolds in two stages: from the first local performances all the way to the grand finale. It’s sure to be a real musical adventure!

1. Local Rounds (April 2027)

It’s time for the first performances! Throughout Wallonia and Brussels, youth hostels are welcoming the selected artists for events dedicated to their music.

If your application is selected, you’ll take the stage to perform a cover song and an original composition—or two original compositions. You can be accompanied by live instruments or use a backing track: the most important thing is that the vocals are on point.

A panel of judges will evaluate the performances based on three criteria:

  • musical quality;
  • originality;
  • the stage performance.

🎤 Dates for the 2027 local rounds:

  • On April 11, the local "Hainaut" round (Charleroi, Mons, Tournai)
  • On April 17, the local round of Liège and Malmedy
  • On April 22, the Brussels regional round
  • On April 24, the local“South”round (Namur, La Roche, Bouillon)

Each round will be an opportunity to discover new musical worlds, support local artists, and enjoy an evening filled with music and good company.
