Horst Arts & Music Festival and Bosch eBike Systems: Join the party (on wheels) from Brussels to festival site in Vilvoorde

If you are planning on attending Horst Arts & Music festival 2025, why not grab an (e)bike to get there?

Bosch eBike Systems, a drive unit and solutions manufacturer for eBikes, joins forces for the second year in a row with innovative arts and music festival Horst. It offers festival-goers from Brussels the optimal bike experience for travelling to the festival from 1 to 3 May.

Arrive at Horst in a good mood

To encourage as many people as possible to cycle to keep the festival's ecological footprint as small as possible, Bosch eBike Systems and Horst are organising the second edition of the Horst peloton. This is a collective, safe bike ride to the festival, accompanied by a DJ playing music from a DJ booth on wheels.

Each ride features some of Horst’s favourite selectors – and this year it’s all about female talent: on Thursday 1 May, Horst resident AliA will serve the tunes; Cheyanne Hudson joins us on Friday 2 May; and RaqL will keep us moving on Saturday 3 May, the last day of the festival and the peloton’s final ride.

Guided by the Veloblasters - soundsystems on wheels - the Horst Peloton sets off daily from underneath the Suzan Daniel bridge at Quai des Matériaux in Brussels. The 12km bike route runs along the canal, passing cultural heritage sites and beautiful stretches of nature.
