Les Ardentes

Les Ardentes is a Belgian multi-day electro-rock music festival which yearly takes place in Liège, in early July. The event is located in the Astrid Park in the Coronmeuse quarter, close to the city centre. Les Ardentes is organised ever since 2006, with Fabrice Lamproie and Gaëtan Servais as founders. The festival name is a French plural noun meaning "The Burning", a referral to the nickname of host city Liège, La Ville Ardente ("The Burning City").
