This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are megaphones. Some are radio microphones. Some happen on balconies. Some in the middle of the street.

2003 Halles de Schaerbeek. Supporting Manu Chao at Nunca Máis. A sea of raised hands. A band discovering what happens when urgency meets volume.
2004 A Father’s Day photo shoot. An accordion. A toddler dancing. Music already part of everyday life. Lille. Barricade crosses the border.
2007 Dordrecht. A quiet moment by the water before another show.
2009 Bochum. Backstage beers. Laptop laughter. Then straight back into the lights.
2014 Brussels. PicNic the Streets. The city itself becomes the stage.
2017 Berlin. A radio interview. Songs travelling through conversations as much as concerts.
2020 Lockdown Cheer Up Sessions. The audience looks up from the courtyard. The band plays from the balconies.
2024 Dimanche premieres. Another story leaves the rehearsal room and finds its audience.

Different settings. Same conviction. Still taking songs to festivals, streets, studios and care homes. Still believing music belongs wherever people gather.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.

This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks happen in places that weren’t really meant to be stages.
A record shop pavement. A café terrace. A town square. A festival field. A refugee solidarity event. And somehow, music finds a way.

2000 Gemert. Brussels. The road keeps opening.
2003–2004 Antwerp. Bremen. Small festivals. Big horizons.
2006 Radio Transit days. Kapellen. Rotterdam. Microphones, conversations and songs travelling from one place to another.
2009 Busking in Ghent. No backstage. No barriers. Just music and whoever happens to stop and listen.
2012 Mainz. & AfroBelbeat. Gangbé Brass Band meets Jaune Toujours at Brussels Jazz Marathon. Brass from Brussels and Benin crossing paths and creating something neither could have made alone.
2013 Brasserie Verschueren. An improvised stage. The kind of concert where the city itself becomes part of the band.
2014 Solidar XL. BBC Radio 3. Rough Trade West. A week that stretches from Brussels to London. Live radio. Street performances. Record shops.
2024 Dimanche. A new single released into the world. One more chapter added to the story.
2025 Human City. Supporting Manu Chao in Brussels. Some heroes eventually become colleagues for an evening.

Different stages. Different audiences. Same belief: music belongs in public spaces, where people meet, argue, celebrate, dance, and imagine something better together.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still travelling. Still showing up. Still open to the next room.
