JESSY BRINGS ICONIC DANCE HIT WITH ORCHESTRA TO CLUB CLASSICS AT LOTTO ARENA

ANTWERP – On Friday, 13 March 2026, Club Classics will bring iconic tracks to the Lotto Arena in Antwerp for the very first time. True club classics will be performed live by the Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra and several outstanding soloists, including Jessy De Smet.

Jessy De Smet has been one of the most recognizable voices in Belgian dance music for more than three decades. In the 1990s, she broke through as the frontwoman of The Mackenzie feat. Jessy with timeless classics such as Innocence, Falling in Love and All I Need. Innocence in particular has grown into a track that is still regarded as almost cultural heritage in Belgium today.

In 2001, Jessy chose to pursue a solo career and wrote the song that would change her life forever: Look at Me Now. It became not only a massive hit in Belgium, but also her international breakthrough. Highlights include the mega-festivals Love the Twenties, held twice a year in Murcia, each time bringing together more than 30,000 ecstatic fans.

In the years that followed, Jessy continued to release new music and surprise her audience. At Club Classics, she will perform her own track Innocence as well as the mega dance hit Destination Calabria, accompanied by the Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra and musical director Michael Schack.

“I didn’t have to think long when they asked me to take part in this. I’ve never worked with a live orchestra before, so I see it as a huge challenge! I do find it exciting, yes! It’s also the first time I’ll be performing at the Lotto Arena!” says Jessy.

Club Classics brings together a whole selection of timeless dance anthems in one evening. Expect crystal-clear live vocals, surprising orchestral arrangements layered over live-played beats, and a spectacular light show.
