Join the Horst Peloton!
We're excited to announce the Horst Peloton, fuelled through our first-ever collaboration with Bosch eBike Systems in 2024. Our goal is to inspire the festival's creatively inclined attendees to embrace cycling. Located near Brussels, our festival is ideally positioned to become a car-free event, reducing its ecological footprint and promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Beyond the physical proximity to Brussels, our connection with the city is deeply cultural. Brussels' vibrant arts scene, featuring local DJs, artists, and collectives like Kiosk Radio, enriches our festival each year. This year, we are proud to highlight Lefto Early Bird, a stalwart of the Belgian music scene and a fixture at every Horst festival, who recently debuted his first album to international acclaim.
The peloton will depart from K1 (the temporary base of KANAL Centre Pompidou) and ride in group to Asiat Park, guided by the infamous Critical Mass ‘Veloblasters’. The bike rides will be soundtracked by NIKA on Thursday, Loois on Friday, and Drache MuMu on Saturday. Lefto Early Bird will join the peloton on Thursday as well.
Upon reaching the festival, participants can park their bikes securely, receive a complimentary Horst drinking bottle, and have their bikes serviced at the Mobyspot workshop. This initiative not only celebrates our connection with Brussels but also underscores our commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
The Horst Peloton is completely free of charge. You can sign up here and bike along!
