Upside down, inside out, and full of wild wonder: Horst Arts & Music Festival 2025 blooms between the cracks. From 1 to 3 May, we’re diving deep into the hidden potential of our home, instead of crossing the water just yet.
What if the untapped potential didn’t lie ahead of us, but rather within? What if the room we were looking for was the sky and the extra space we longed for beneath the ground? What if upside down is the right way up? These questions will mark 3 festival days, a new Horst Expo, and prove to be the kick-off for the Horst Summer programme at Asiat Park. More about our 2025 ambitions will follow soon.
You might have to wait just a little longer, but those with a keen eye might already spot a first (or Fourth?) Tet-à-tête hidden in plain sight.
2025 marks the comeback of circular stage designs such as Ring by Piovenefabi and Moon Ra by Leopold Banchini, a thorough reinterpretation of the Veshcell stage and new iterations of unique stages across the site by a string of guest architects. Built and co-created with our Atelier participants.
Those straying from the predestined routes between those stages, end up in a Horsty wonderland. In 2025 Horst Arts will further embrace its home and run its roots ever deeper into the ground, eventually unveiling itself as a full-grown expo for everyone to see. After the festival, all art will be on public display during the summer exhibition of Horst 2025 and welcome visitors to engage with the Park.
Our home - Asiat Park - 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 Park’s vast warehouses, efficient barracks and spacious driving courts have been taken over by nature. In partnership with the City of Vilvoorde Horst has been the cultural catalyst of the site, reshaping its landscape and regenerating its buildings since 2022. Stimulating the development of Asiat Park in a fruitful longer-term collaboration.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to the Horst campsite for three days & nights including a royal brunch in our much-celebrated lush camping atmosphere, only a stone’s throw away from the festival site.
