POLY AMORE – Beyond Classics 2025
Beyond Classic Antwerp is organised by volunteers. Most of the production costs (venue rent, musicians, sound and lights, and catering) are donated by our generous partners and sponsors. This way, we can generate the maximum amount of money from the concert to donate to charity. This year’s proceeds will go to Leather Archives & Museum and the travel funds of the titleholders elected at Darklands.
