Recorded at AB Brussels (Ancienne Belgique) in January 2025, in their Belgian hometown, this album captures the intensity, precision, and raw energy that have defined FRONT 242’s live performances for generations.

It is with a heavy mix of emotion that we close this great adventure, some 40 years in the making. We realize that ending our journey at this time, when we are still vibrant and full of energy is how the band should be remembered. We are excited to share these meaningful final performances with our wonderful fans who have been with us through it all, the band wrote when announcing their final tour.

Black Out is released as a double-CD digipak featuring 3 exclusive bonus tracks (MasterHit, Soul Manager, No Shuffle). Marking a historic moment, the album also includes the first official releases of several new tracks the band had introduced live over recent years (Generator, Fix It, Hide & Seek).

For Black Out, FRONT 242 members Patrick Codenys, Jean-Luc De Meyer and Richard23 are joined on stage by Tim Kroker on drums, with mixing and production handled in the studio by David Baboulis from the band SOLDOUT.

Their live performance on these songs are phenomenal. Truly incredible, and just so energetic. It sounds quite clear to me that the band was going to go out on the highest note possible on this tour as their live performance over these two discs is simply stunning.

Everything from the sound being crystal clear and powerful to the fact that you could just visualize the lightshows being bat shit crazy and in your face the whole time, I can honestly imagine both Jean-Luc and Richard dancing their asses off whilst giving these vocal performances of a lifetime.

Spanning the full FRONT 242 repertoire - from early foundational cuts to genre-defining anthems, Black Out stands as both a powerful farewell and a final testament to the band’s uncompromising vision.

Enjoy your retirement gentlemen, you more than earned it and your legend will live with us forever.
