The 0110 concerts, held on October 1, 2006, in Antwerp, Brussels, Charleroi and Ghent, were organised by dEUS frontman Tom Barman, Arno Hintjens and Frederik Sioen to promote tolerance in Belgian society, and "against Vlaams Belang, extremism and gratuitous violence".[http://www.0110.be/HomeEN/ Homepage of the organisation].

0110 controversy
The event preceded the 2006 municipal elections in Belgium by just one week, thus sending a political message as well.
The right wing opposition party Vlaams Belang wrote an open letter to famous Flemish artists, such as Clouseau, Helmut Lotti, Will Tura, Johan Verminnen and Laura Lynn, who were announced to participate, asking not to do so.{{cite news |url=http://www.hln.be/hlns/cache/det/art_228524.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20071111173600/http://www.hln.be/hlns/cache/det/art_228524.html |url-status = dead|archive-date=2007-11-11 |title=Dewinter schrijft open brief naar artiesten ("Dewinter Writes Open Letter to Artists") |work=Het Laatste Nieuws |language=nl}} The party requested the boycott because the event "only targets Vlaams Belang".{{cite news

}} One Vlaams Belang council member has called upon the readers of his web log to start a "mail bombardment" to the concerned artists.{{in lang|nl}} Tom Cochez, Vlaams Belang voert strijd tegen concert voor verdraagzaamheid op ("Vlaams Belang Intensifies Battle against Concert for Tolerance"), De Morgen, 8 July 2006. Critics speak of an intimidation campaign by the party.{{in lang|nl}} Jeroen Verelst, Muzikanten zwichten niet voor intimidatie Vlaams Belang ("Musicians Don't Give In to Intimidation by Vlaams Belang"), De Morgen, 5 July 2006.
According to the Vlaams Belang however, the intimidation came from the organizers of the 0110 concerts and the complete Flemish media against Vlaams Belang, because the Flemish media were partizan of the concerts. According to the party, the media in Flanders is completely in the hands of the left-wing establishment. On the contrary, no Flemish artist would ever even think to participate in a festival organised by the Vlaams Belang, because this would be responded by the establishment by an ever-lasting boycott against the artist. On a party congress on 1 October, Filip Dewinter was quoted saying that "if it really were concerts against intolerance, the Vlaams Belang would have to be guest of honour", referring to the cordon sanitaire against the party.{{in lang|nl}}
"If it really consists of concerts against intolerance, Vlaams Belang should be the honorary guest.", said the Flemish journal Gazet van Antwerpen of the home base of Vlaams Belang, Antwerp, [http://www.gva.be/nieuws/antwerpen/default.asp?art={E7140336-EB1E-4CED-ADA1-F511722A38B1} VB: "0110-concerten tegen Vlaams Belang"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930185708/http://www.gva.be/nieuws/antwerpen/default.asp?art=%7BE7140336-EB1E-4CED-ADA1-F511722A38B1%7D |date=2007-09-30 }} "VB: '0110 concerts against Vlaams Belang'"), 1 October {{cite web |url=http://www.gva.be/nieuws/antwerpen/default.asp?art= |title=Gazet van Antwerpen |access-date=2006-10-08 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050219172217/http://www.gva.be/nieuws/antwerpen/default.asp?art= |archive-date=February 19, 2005 }}
Vlaams Belang sees this as a direct attack by the establishment,[http://www.vlaamsbelang.be/index.php Nationale loterij ...] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061022153526/http://vlaamsbelang.be/index.php |date=2006-10-22 }}, Vlaams Belang because the event is sponsored by the Belgian National Lottery. The National Lottery however decided upon the sponsoring contract before the political content was clear.{{in lang|nl}} [http://www.tijd.be/krant/artikel.asp?ec=TIJD&id=95638351&pg=44 Banken schuwen controverse rond 0110], De Tijd, 30 September 2006.

Book
In 2008 Belgian author Bart Van Lierde wrote the crime novel 0110: the premiss is a terrorist act during the 0110 concerts in Antwerp. The main question is which political party ordered the attack: Vlaams Belang, as this party is convinced that the concerts are held to influence the outcome of the municipal elections; or the other parties, as the outcome indeed may be influenced if Vlaams Belang will be found guilty.
