Is Ferre Gola's event at Claridge in Brussels on July 12th official? I haven't seen any confirmation of his official instagram-page yet. I missed out at ING Arena and wants this time not to miss out. With Ferre performing for the second time in Brussels without visiting another European country in between, does this mean he will return to Kinshasa afterwards without going to the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Paris?

Although it is a small hall with a capacity of only 850, Claridge has a rich history with Congolese music, with various bands having performed there in the 1980s and 1990s, including Choc Stars, Zaiko Langa Langa, Wenge Musica (also with Kassav in 1992) and Quartier Latin until that Congolese music stopped performing there. I wonder if they were closed for a moment like La Madeleine or if they were not allowed anymore to perform because of the many fights that occured inside and outside the hall, when ever Congolese bands were performing in Brussels.
