K3 Originals receive be•at Award for historic concert run
05.06.2026
It’s official. The AFAS Dome record books have been rewritten — and the ink is bright pink with a generous sprinkle of glitter. With an astonishing 31 sold-out shows, K3 Originals have been presented with the prestigious be•at Award in recognition of an extraordinary achievement.
Karen Damen, Kristel Verbeke and Kathleen Aerts proved that their magic is just as powerful today as it was years ago. For some fans, it was a long-awaited reunion. For others, it was their very first K3 experience. Everyone experienced the concerts in their own way, but together we became part of a story that no one will forget anytime soon.
“A sold-out show will always feel special, but a production that sells out our arena 31 times in a row? That’s simply out of this world,” says Birgit Ketele, COO of be•at (photo). “K3 Originals have made history at the AFAS Dome. We are incredibly proud to have been the home of this remarkable concert series and warmly congratulate Karen, Kristel and Kathleen on this unique achievement.”
This be•at Award belongs to Karen, Kristel and Kathleen, to Studio 100, to everyone working behind the scenes, and to the thousands of fans who turned K3 Originals into a true phenomenon. Congratulations on an unforgettable milestone. 💜
