The 3rd edition of ‘Lier Sings’ has been a great success. Thanks to the weather Gods, the Lierse market square was packed with thousands of people. After the warm up tones of Wim Leys and his group @fundum, the singing talents on the market were ready for an evening of singing.

From around 21.00 they sang non-stop until midnight, conducted by the choir and presentor Marc D’hollander, about 35 big hits. The atmosphere was great and a packed market square let themselves go. Maged Samy also had a great time and joined the choir on the stage. Work has already begun on the next edition!
Until next year!
