<p>I have updated the🇧🇪 <a href="/tags/belgium/" rel="tag">#Belgium</a> 🚂 Railway Diagram trilogy for 2026. These three diagrams are based on a 30° structure in order to fit the numerous radial lines to <a href="/tags/brussels/" rel="tag">#Brussels</a>. They attempt to untangle the many hourly services around Brussels. However, by 2026, some of the S trains had been somewhat systematised.There are weekday and weekend versions. In addition, a third diagram shows all single P trains of <a href="/tags/sncb/" rel="tag">#SNCB</a> <a href="/tags/nmbs/" rel="tag">#NMBS</a>. <br>👉 <a href="https://larstransportmaps.com/rail-services-in-belgium-2026/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="larstransportmaps.com/rail-services-in-belgium-2026/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">larstransportmaps.com/rail-ser</span><span class="invisible">vices-in-belgium-2026/</span></a></p>

<p>Fela Kuti was back in the headlines earlier this year when he was posthumously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys. Femi and his siblings accepted the award on behalf of their father, making Fela Kuti the first African artist to receive the honor.</p><p>“It has sealed my father’s legacy in the most prestigious awards in the world,” he tells NL Times. His father’s influence on global music and political expression remains profound, and Femi continues to build on that foundation. Not only has he pushed the genre forward while staying true to his artistic origins, his son, Mádé Kuti, is also continuing the legacy of social commentary.</p><p>Femi Kuti and The Positive Force begin the Journey Through Life tour with a run of four dates in the Netherlands: Arnhem on April 2, Alkmaar on April 3, The Hague on April 4, and Maastricht on April 6. Tickets range from 28 to 36 euros, and are available via the respective venues’ websites. The musicians will then continue their tour across Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK.</p><p><a href="https://nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kuti-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kuti-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kut</span><span class="invisible">i-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/femikuti/" rel="tag">#FemiKuti</a> <a href="/tags/felakuti/" rel="tag">#FelaKuti</a> <a href="/tags/africa/" rel="tag">#Africa</a> <a href="/tags/african/" rel="tag">#african</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/germany/" rel="tag">#germany</a> <a href="/tags/france/" rel="tag">#france</a> <a href="/tags/belgium/" rel="tag">#belgium</a> <a href="/tags/uk/" rel="tag">#UK</a> <a href="/tags/netherlands/" rel="tag">#netherlands</a></p>
