Forest National, Concert hall in Forest, Brussels, Belgium

Forest National is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the Brussels district of Forest. The interior holds more than eight thousand seats arranged in rising tiers around a central stage.

The opening took place on 8 October 1970, and the Sportpaleis Group has managed the hall ever since. Over the years, the venue has hosted a wide range of international artists from different musical genres.

The hall's name reflects its location in Forest, a district south of Brussels city center, where audiences gather for concerts and shows. Visitors from across the Belgian capital region and neighboring countries travel here to experience live performances by well-known artists.

The building features accessible areas and several refreshment points inside. Public transport from central Brussels offers a direct connection, making the journey straightforward.

The rising arrangement of seats ensures that every row maintains an unobstructed view of the stage. This setup allows even those in the back sections to follow performances without visual interference.
