schiev is a Brussels’ based music festival which offers a broad vision of avant-garde pop music while trying to make it accessible to the widest possible audience.

The festival aims to showcase an eclectic line-up of innovative Belgian and international projects and to present them in an easy-going and relaxed atmosphere.

We also invite the fertile local label scene to present their work and propose a series of talks to discuss and debate the latest music mutations.

schiev is pronounced [skiv] and means crooked, distorted or mis-shaped in Brusseleir, Brussels’ slang.
