Horst Festival has announced its 2026 music programme, signalling a renewed curatorial direction centred on evolution, community and the cultural power of dance music.

Returning to Asiat Park in Vilvoorde from 14th–16th May 2026, the festival will host more than 120 artists across genres and generations, balancing Belgian talent with influential international figures in a lineup shaped by long-term impact rather than trend cycles.

The programme spans foundational voices such as Todd Edwards, Stacey Hotwaxx Hale, Gilles Peterson & MC Rob Galliano and Daphni, alongside contemporary and forward-facing artists including Carré, Moxie, Yu Su, Ehua and DJ Swisha. Collaborative formats play a key role, with shared sets and hybrid performances from Call Super & Parris, livwutang & Priori, Night Moves (Jane Fitz & Jade Seatle), Jump Source (Priori & Patrick Holland) and Kaito-Kai (Kaito Winse & Palmbomen II).

Belgian artists take a more central position than ever, with DJs such as Altinbas, Ben Kamal and Shabz joined by live acts including Natasha Pirard and Jan Loup & Mika Oki. A strong live and hybrid focus runs across the site, featuring Barker, Om Unit’s Acid Dub Studies, Susobrino’s Susonidos Block Party and a bespoke closing ceremony by Le Motel.

Additional curatorial layers come from stage hosts including The Lot Radio, Kiosk Radio and Resident Advisor, further underlining Horst’s role as a platform for experimentation and cross-pollination within global club culture.
