About this place Fuse

Fuse is Brussels' most internationally significant nightclub — known to the wider world primarily as the home of La Démence, the monthly circuit party that has drawn gay visitors to Brussels since 1990. The venue itself occupies a large industrial space in the Marolles neighbourhood, with the kind of physical character that comes from a building repurposed for nightlife: high ceilings, brick and concrete, sound systems sized to the space. On La Démence nights — the first Sunday of each month — Fuse transforms into an international circuit event with a crowd drawn from across Belgium and from the Netherlands, France, Germany, the UK, and beyond. International DJs, spectacular lighting, and the specific energy of an event that has been running for three decades without losing its reputation give La Démence a character distinct from one-off circuit events. Beyond La Démence, Fuse programmes regular electronic music events and serves as one of Brussels' primary venues for serious club music. The Marolles location — in one of Brussels' most characterful neighbourhoods, known for its antiques market and working-class history — is 15 minutes on foot from the Rue du Marché au Charbon.

Unacceptable experience. I was the victim of racist behaviour by toilet staff. Misplaced, disrespectful and discriminatory attitude. This is unacceptable in 2026. Watch your reputation. I'm not coming back.

The club is no longer the "techno temple" that used to be. Everything is poorly managed upstream and it is felt downstream..... Unpleasant and not attentive staff, no payment of some people working there, internal security not very psychologist...). The club is now overcrowded to make maximum money , so there is an unhealthy atmosphere conducive to discomfort and "unhealthy" wildlife not having the codes of clubbing . The club wants to please the new trend "Tiktokian hardtechno" and this young audience covid and state due to its "popularity" unhealthy people wanting to take advantage of other people who are there to have fun and loses its regulars who cherished this place by going out every weekend. For my part, you have lost a dozen people in my entourage of activists and true lovers of the techno scene. Some events still seem good by bringing in very good artists but this is very quickly overtaken by all the problems listed above and by the exaggerated price of admissions (the price to triple compared to the time) . Wake up before the decline.... around me are dozens of people active in the clubbing community and boycotting you. The outside security has not changed and still nice , thanks to them and conchitta who stay true to themselves.

What a miserable venue Fuse is – never again. We came from London to see NTO and Romain Garcia on 29 March 2025. It was hands down one of the worst nights I’ve ever had. Here's why: 🧯 No security at the entrance – no bag checks, no pat-downs, nothing. I could’ve walked in with a weapon. Have we learned nothing from Bataclan? 🚬 Everyone was smoking inside, even the DJs. Our clothes stank like a bonfire when we got home. 💸 It’s a cash-only venue - seriously, in 2025? You have to withdraw money from one till at the main bar. Absurd. 🔐 Lockers cost €2 each time you open them – a proper scam. 🚽 At least they stopped charging for the toilet (it used to be €0.50 – yes, really), but that’s the bare minimum. 👎 The crowd was awful. Loads of people just standing around talking. You could hear chatter over the music. Personal space? Non-existent. Full of drunk lads and lasses bumping into everyone. 💃 No vibe at all – half the people weren’t dancing, just treating it like a pub catch-up. Some were even live-streaming on Facebook. 🚷 Overcrowded to the max. After Romain Garcia’s set, everyone piled into the main room. It got so packed people were pushing – no space to move, let alone dance. 🤬 The final straw? A full-on fight broke out between two men. One of them was wielding a glass bottle, and the girlfriends separated them. Fuse may have opened in 1994, but it’s still stuck there, in the 90s. The place feels unsafe, mostly unaccessible, badly managed, and completely out of touch with what makes a good night out. We came from London expecting a proper rave — we got a clubbing nightmare instead. Avoid. 🤦‍♂️

I wanted to warn if anyone ever went to work at the Fuse. The manager (Andy) doesn't pay you... After your service, he makes a radio silence and no longer responds when you ask to be paid. By repeating, he finally reacts and invents a bogus excuse like "if I already paid you hand in hand" when it is not true (in addition there are cameras everywhere in the Fuse that demonstrate the contrary...). Don't be fooled and be more careful than me!

You want to be snug like sardines, see people OD's and bleed out? Or be disgusted for life with the world of clubbing? Then go to the Fuse! Since the reopening after the pandemic, this place has contributed to the decline of the techno scene. It has become a real money factory. On January 25, 2025, at the evening with Jeff Mills, Chlär, Altinbas, Marie Julie, Priori, Rey Colino and DC Salas, it was an absolute disgrace. The tickets were sold for 26 euros, so that in the end they would take away a headliner like Chlär with a totally bogus apology. On top of that, we were all piled up like cattle, there was no space. It was unbreathable. It’s impossible to dance, which is the essence of a club, right? Most people who frequent the club are sorely lacking in benevolence, and I weigh my words. Many of them are "TikTok Techno"... The crowd is also flooded with phones, which completely kills the immersion and privacy of an evening. I saw a woman fall to the ground after an overdose and empty on it in the middle of the dance floor (I don’t tell you the smell). And on the way out, so chaotic was it, I saw another person overdose. I’ve never seen so many serious scenes in one evening! And yet this many years... All this is the consequence of mismanagement. The Fuse only cares about money. They bring in as many people as possible, even when there is no room. It’s just profit at all costs. The Fuse is over. This is a reality. A chapter is closing. They don’t care about clubbers, only profits interest them. I would definitely not recommend this place. Do not go if you have a minimum of respect and love for music and this way of life. Take care of yourself.

Club with an essentially Electro programming. Room rather spacious, bar with affordable consis. The sound is rather clean and not saturated. There is another room upstairs more intimate. I'll go back.

I never would expect that from a techno club! I have been in a Berlin Club once and it was really lovely, it had nothing to do with this one in Brussels. I am from Spain and i really like to travel across Europe to watch the wild nightlife it offers. The crowd as well the people working are extremely rude and they didn't give any attention to whatever we asked in perfect English sil vous plait. I asked for a water because i had consumed a "rave" pill and they were looking at me like i was a police officer!! They didn;t even give me water! Can you imagine? They are DANGEROUS! I will never go back again to this awful venue which has no reputation at all as far as i know, and the music was meh. Mostly europop and myconos house. No thx i regret it. Do not Enter!!!

The guard kicked me out because he saw me with a quarter of ecstasy, and to this day only he won't let me in, the others let me in, he's a racist and he didn't even hide it from me

Club for druggists, it's unfortunate to see young people on drugs and looking for drugs, as well as weird security guys pretending to see nothing, not clean at all....

We entered the disco. Only cash allowed. 16€ for entrance, 0,5€ for toilets. Drinks too expensive. We can’t recommend this place. Group of friends in late 20’s and 30’s.
