Horst Arts & Music confirms more than 110 artists for its 2025 edition
Horst Arts & Music has revealed its full lineup for the 2025 edition, confirming over 110 artists across an expansive program that blends electronic music, architecture and artistic experimentation. This year’s lineup features DVS1, Four Tet, Eris Drew, DJ Stingray 313 & Helena Hauff, Eclair Fifi, BADSISTA, Surgeon, Erol Alkan & Palms Trax, Mattias El Mansouri, Polygonia & Steffi, CC:DISCO!, and many more.
In parallel, Horst Atelier 2025 has opened applications, inviting creatives for a four-week residency that offers hands-on involvement in shaping the festival’s spatial experience. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to an immersive sound stage designed by DVS1 and architect Leopold Banchini, take part in remodeling a public skatepark alongside Jean-Benoît Vétillard, or repurpose a neglected hallway in Asiat Park into a dynamic space for Vilvoorde’s youth. As in previous years, spots are limited, and applications close on March 2 at 23:59 CET. Successful applicants will receive a festival ticket and discounted camping access, with Horst providing food, workshops, and evening activities throughout the residency.
Leading up to the main festival, Horst will host additional gatherings, including the Horst Club Closing Weekend on March 8–9 and the Horst Atelier residency from April 6 to May 1.
Horst Arts & Music Festival was established in 2014 in Belgium, originally set against the backdrop of the 15th-century moated Horst Castle in the Hageland hills near Leuven. In 2019, the festival relocated to the ASIAT Park, a former military base in Vilvoorde, just north of Brussels. This post-industrial site, characterised by its iconic cooling towers and over twenty warehouses, provides a unique canvas for the festival's integration of art, architecture and music. Horst has evolved into a multidisciplinary platform, hosting a three-day festival alongside an exhibition of in-situ artworks and an atelier that fosters creative collaboration.
