Horst blends arts, architecture & music in an immersive three-day festival experience. 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, their 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 Horst's Art programme, and a year-round programme at Asiat. Being one of the key pillars around which the festival revolves, architecture plays a significant role in both the stage design and the site's scenography in its entirety. Like every other year, the Festival stages in 2023 will carry temporary and circularity architecture at its core, amplifying ASIAT’s current reality and future potential. 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. Horst welcomes you on their camp site for three days & nights including a royal brunch in their much-celebrated lush camping atmosphere.
