Horst Festival 2025
From Thursday, May 1 to Saturday, May 3, the 11th edition of Horst Arts & Music Festival will take place in Vilvoorde. In collaboration with Horst, VI.BE and Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques will organize a visitor program as 'Belgium Booms' for international bookers and promoters.
Once again, Horst Festival showcases many Belgian artists in its lineup—often giving them prominent slots, including closing performances. Be sure to catch performances by over 30 Belgian artists, including emerging and standout names like Rrita Jashari, Rokia Bamba, Sagat, Mika Oki, Lefto, Gaiko, Kuba97, AliA, Nosedrip and many more. Full program is available here.
Furthermore, we will once again welcome international bookers and promoters from the Netherlands, Germany, France, the UK, Finland and Georgia to connect them with the Belgian acts and their entourages.
