Brazzmatazz is an 18-piece steampunk brass band from Ghent, Belgium, blending theatrical showmanship with raw musical energy. With a unique mix of New Orleans grooves, Balkan vibes, funk, drum & bass, and driving beats, they create their signature brass band bangers—high-energy, danceable tracks that captivate any audience.
Known for their explosive live shows full of color, costumes, and steam-powered spectacle, Brazzmatazz delivers more than just a concert. Each performance is a festive, theatrical journey where music, performance, and immersive storytelling collide.
In recent years, Brazzmatazz has toured across Europe, lighting up stages like Boomtown Fair (UK) and performing in Croatia, the Basque Country, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, and of course Belgium, where they’ve headlined the Gentse Feesten and ignited venues such as Dranouter, Bozar, Vooruit, and DeSingel. Beyond the stage, the band even released a book that expands their rich steampunk universe and lore.
In 2026, Brazzmatazz will release their third studio album, Crank Up The Pressure, pushing their sound and energy to new heights. With this album, they reaffirm their status as the go-to band for celebratory, fiery, and hard-hitting brass music—ready to tear up stages everywhere.
