From Thursday, May 9 to Saturday, May 11 2024, the 10th edition of the Horst Arts & Music Festival took place in Vilvoorde. In collaboration with Horst, VI.BE and Wallonie-Bruxelles Musiques organized a visitor program as 'Belgium Booms' for international bookers and programmers during this anniversary edition.
Once again there were many Belgian acts on the line up. Over the course of three days, you could see 38 Belgian dj's and producers performing across five stages, often with prominent spots on the lineup. Bibi Seck (b2b Jenny Cara), Alfred Anders, FOR ALL QUEENS, Sixsixsixties (b2b Timmerman) and Le Motel (b2b GREG) guaranteed memorable closings, while Kiosk Radio -which joined forces for the first time with The Lot Radio- also had quite a few Belgian artists on the line-up, including FRONTAL, M I M I, Soumaya Phéline and Lefto Early Bird.
Furthermore, we welcomed delegates from the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, the UK and the United States and we connected them with the Belgian acts and their entourages. We hosted a networking lunch, a guided tour of the festival by head programmer Simon Nowak and a pro drink with around 50 attendees as well.
What an amazing edition...see you next year!
