Same stuff, new fluff.

Horst Club returns for a third season of stretched time and soft landings. We’re teasing the highs, shuffling the spaces, and softening the structure. It’s not a new club, just a different way of spending time inside it.

In a world obsessed with speed, instant hits, and immediate satisfaction, the new Horst Club season aims to reclaim the power of waiting. Of not arriving too quickly. We tap into the thrill of delayed gratification to elevate the 24-hour clubbing experience.

So: take your time. Don’t rush the blush. Almost is e v e r y t h i n g.

Getting there... eventually.

A completely redesigned main room, foam-filled corners, a new playroom, performative sidequests, and even more locals to the front. The frame stays the same, the drift does not. We invite you to sink deeper, slower, braver into the experience. The new Horst Club is somewhere between a party and a daydream, where wasting time is the way to go. These are the dates for the third Horst Club season:

4 – 5 October: Opening Weekend 
22 – 23 November: Weekend #2
31 – 01 January: NYE
14 – 15 February: Horst Club w/ Gay Haze
14 – 15 March: Closing Weekend w/ Kiosk Radio

Spaces

Horst Club shifts, expands and stretches. The 24-hour playground houses not one, but three different dance floors for the third club season. All surrounded by plenty of room to roam with (off)spaces in between.

The biggest change is the new main room. Architects Laura Muyldermans, Sophia Holst, and light artist Ofer Smilansky took an integrated approach by treating structure and light as equals, reusing industrial materials from previous iterations to build a more fluid and open spatial experience that lets shadow, texture, and reflection lead the way. A topographic take on stage and sound split into three layers: ground, sky, and celestial sphere. A collaboration of three visionary creatives, the space resonates the polyrhythmic.

Rain Room, after being revamped by Spanish studio BURR, is here to stay. Think fluffy yellow curtains, a canonical canopy and puddly pond beneath the stars. This one’s for dreamy dancers!

Tucked away in a corner of the club premises, you’ll find the Garage. An intimate hidey-hole, stripped to the essentials and dedicated to the sound it supplies. Subtle scenography and detailed (sound)design form the essence of this tiny club room. Smaller, purer, simpler.

Between the dance floors, liminal spaces glue the club together: places to drift, pause, or get pleasantly sidetracked. Textile designer and scenographer Isabel Brems designed a new foam-filled oasis with subtle winks reappearing throughout the club premises, and the playroom resurfaces with a full makeover in its new hideout on the edge of the playground. Seek, and ye shall find!

Performance

We’ve expanded the performance programming into something slower, softer, and more collective. Expect non-music workshops and sidequests like yoga, breathwork, crafting, or pallet-based solidarity projects. Nothing too loud, but just enough to pull you gently back into yourself.

Later in the season, Horst Club welcomes APOLEMIA as performance-collective in residence, whose interventions will explore the intersection of clubbing, performance, and installation. The Brussels-based collective will create a three-part performative journey: activating Club Weekend #2 and the closing weekend before culminating in a final piece at the Horst Arts & Music Festival in May. With multiple club weekends to explore and test ideas in dialogue with the space and its audience, APOLEMIA’s residency embraces process, transformation, and the fluid edges where disciplines meet.
