Great news for all Channel Zero fans: on December 5th, the legendary Belgian metal band will take the stage at Lotto Arena in Antwerp with a spectacular final arena show. With this concert, the band brings more than three decades of music history to a definitive close. Their three intimate AB shows later that month are already completely sold out, making this the very last opportunity for fans to see them perform live on a major stage. The concert at Lotto Arena promises to be the absolute pinnacle of their career and will also serve as the festive kick-off to their final tour, titled "The End Of An Era", which will continue later that month with three sold-out shows at the AB in Brussels. This arena show is therefore the very last chance to witness the band live before they take their final bow. It promises to be an unforgettable night, featuring all their biggest hits and one last celebration of their legendary live reputation on a grand arena stage. "It's going to be a final show you simply cannot miss. On 5 December we're going to give it everything we've got and deliver an unforgettable farewell for our fans. This will be a final blowout --- louder and bigger than ever," says frontman Franky De Smet-Van Damme. Formed in 1990 in Brussels, Channel Zero has conquered both the Belgian and international metal scenes for decades. From their breakthrough album "Unsafe" (1994) to their most recent releases, the band has become synonymous with high-energy live shows and an unmistakable sound. After taking a break in 1997, they returned triumphantly in 2010, selling out six AB shows and drawing more than 12,000 fans. Their 2021 album "Feed 'em With a Brick" --- their first new release in 15 years --- was immediately embraced by critics and audiences alike. Since then, they have once again dominated stages across Belgium and Europe, reinforcing their status as true live legends. In 2026, Channel Zero will bid a final farewell to the stage but on December 5th, fans will have one last chance to experience the band live in the setting of an arena, at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp. It will be a grand finale celebrating more than three decades of metal history! The complete timing can be found a few days before the concert on www.lotto-arena.be.
