Original K3 reunites for anniversary concerts

Belgium’s original K3 pop trio has announced a long-awaited reunion. Karen Damen, Kristel Verbeke, and Kathleen Aerts, who formed the first lineup in 1998, will return for a series of concerts in Antwerp’s Sportpaleis this autumn.

K3 was created in the late 1990s as a Flemish response to the UK’s Spice Girls. They quickly became a household name in Belgium and the Netherlands. 

The group’s breakthrough came in 1999 with Heyah Mama, after which they dominated children’s pop culture with albums, TV shows, and even musicals. Over the years, K3 saw multiple lineup changes, but the original trio remains the most iconic.

Anniversary

The reunion concerts, branded as K3 Originals, will take place on 3, 4, and 5 October in Antwerp, with additional dates added due to high demand. Two shows are also scheduled for April 2026 in Rotterdam.

The reunion marks 25 years since Alle Kleuren, K3’s best-selling album. It also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the group’s current lineup.

Tickets are available on Sportpaleis Antwerp’s website.
