Horst blends arts, architecture & music in an immersive three-day festival experience.
In 2023, Horst Arts & Music Festival is set to take place in the ever-flourishing Asiat Park from 5 to 7 May. With an even stronger focus on homegrown talent, the return of some familiar faces and a completely renewed Arts program, our yearly gathering is set to be a weekender of bold fun and guaranteed pleasure. Promise.
The full line-up for Horst Arts & Music Festival 2023 is yours to be happily consumed. Join the fun, winners only.
PROGRAM
Friday 05.05
Saturday 06.05
Sunday 07.05
An immersive three-day symbiosis of autonomous art, inventive architecture and electronic music is what Horst stands for. Continuously redefining the definition of what a festival can enfold, our vision for 2023 aims to sharpen this definition through a community-driven and more grassroots modus operandi.
This year marks 3 Festival days, a renewed vision on our Art programme, and a year-round programme at Asiat. More about our 2023 ambitions will follow soon.
Stage Design
Architecture has always been indispensable to the Horst Arts & Music DNA. Unique, inventive and circular stage design is something reoccurring every other year, and 2023 promises to be no exception.
Paris and Zurich based BRUTHER will redo the space where Marinella Senatore’s Bodies In Alliance stood ground. Stand Van Zaken (Doorzon Interieurarchitecten & Theo de Meyer) will design this year’s ‘main’ stage. Moon Ra, built in 2021 is here to stay.

Asiat, Vilvoorde
Relive Horst 2021
Location
Asiat is the former Arsenal of Instruments and Equipment for Telecommunication, which operated from 1946 to 2008. The terrain housed soldiers who were responsible for the production of components for military telecommunication. Over time Asiat's vast warehouses, efficient barracks and spacious driving courts have been taken over by nature. A recent acquisition by the City of Vilvoorde triggered a partnership with Horst to stimulate the development of Asiat in a longer-term collaboration.
