Forest National - Vorst Nationaal Review

Be careful when you book a show. Last Saturday I went to see Passionata and it was monolingual French!

It all depends on the concert and who is the sound engineer. Since they have enlarged it is not so good. And the lack of parking remains a big black spot.

Only there was no air conditioning. But zztop makes up for that

The sound is still not good (it is even very bad). By cons good plan to park in the audi parking lot (there is no one and only 10 minutes walk)

Very well designed room, easily accessible, food and drink readily available. Excellent concert by Liam Gallagher yesterday.

...excellent venue for gigs. Easy transportation options to and from venue to Brussels. Great sound and excellent amenities.

I wanted to walk my bichon but they lie there is no forest

Great venue with good stage views all over. Parking is problematic around the venue except when you come really early. Another option is to use the Audi parking tower which is a ten minute walk away. They charge 5 to park during a performance. You can also use public transportation in combination with a park and ride that s about 10km from the b venue.
Sound is great but drinks and food overpriced.

Beautiful, well-maintained room, welcoming and friendly staff.

A very nice and warmer room, you can see everywhere just the problem of parking

Too bad there is very little internet connection. Sportpaleis on the other hand has free WiFi and the WiFi strength is very good.

We were a group with people with mobility issues, great support for every wheelchair had a coach from Forest! People of great sympathy and very concerned about our well being. Congratulations to them. Merci

Cool concert hall with good acoustics, it is best to be there on time for parking in the area!

Smooth inside and out.
Sound OK.
Simple eating and drinking matters to the right of the building, next to Colruyt.

I think that I liked so much the Alice Cooper concert that I forgot completely about the place maybe, so the four star. I reality the place is not bad but the food is too expensive really.

It was the 1st time and I enjoyed it. We did stay overnight instead of immediately returning to Antwerp.

The concert was great, but when there is heat, this place is an oven...

Forest National is a unique atmosphere, the public is connoisseur, and if the sauce takes, we can live exceptional moments. In addition the room keeps a reasonable size.

Good show but its deguelasse. Hard to understand what the humorist said. Already had the same impression during the Kyo concert

Superb concert hall !!!
Very clean and very nice!

That this room can be ugly. Deco nonexistent, no effort to beautify the place. Location without soul. Its means, by cons beautiful lights.

I came on crutches without warning before, as soon as we arrived in front of Forest National we were taken care of by a responsible person who had spotted us and helped us to get settled (lift, flashlight) and this also at the end a spectacle.

The sound is bad. It is difficult to see and at 75 instead, we did not expect to climb so many stairs. I forgot, abominable intermission, no way to quench your thirst as there are so many people

The only time the sound was great! Thank you Tenacious D !!

QQ can tell me PQ the most expensive places are the last rows above ... Missed 1/4 of the room ds the visu ..

Memorable concerts! Great concert hall to feel close to the artists. Arena or balconies according to everyone's wishes

The place doesn't look like much from the outside but turns out to be large and rather airy once inside (Tardis ?!). Several bars, toilets, lockers, and food stand in the building.
And awesome concert! Sounds and lights in the hair of pet '!

Very nice performance hall, with good sound. Access for people with reduced mobility. Only downside, there is almost no parking. It is better to use public transport which is very practical and drops you off 300m from the room. Or use the load-shedding car park at Drogenboos, then take tram 82.

Nice room especially in the boxes but as soon as you are on the heights it is more complicated.

Large capacity, well thought mobility and security level but unwelcoming cold atmosphere.

lockers outside, so better have coins and put your stuff inside them before going inside the venue and waste time in going out and in again to leave your personal affairs...
for the rest, DIRTY PAYING bathrooms - I will never accept this ridiculous thing here in Belgium of paying for a primary need , facing ZERO service of cleaning of the bathrooms. Belgium sucks for this.

Very nice room, good acoustics but very complicated to park nearby! Too bad.

This venue isn't prepared for receiving large crowds in the entrance hall,once inside it gets really overcrowded within minutes.
Crowd handling could be better.

Poor security staff when entering, none will bother what's inside your bag.
Drinks are somewhat on the expensive side and please,please don't be fooled into the Haribo sales stand as they will charge you around 20euros for a small bag of candy.

Beautiful concert, but we were literally 'pissed off' that - by the time we were outside the concert hall - there were no more toilets open.
Dear Vorst Nationaal, (especially) ladies need (and are entitled to) a sanitary break after a long concert!

Full of memories, first concert for my daughter. Easy to get drinks or snacks, free toilets (and clean!)
I'd rather go herd than to the sportpaleis anytime

The room is ok and very nice but its biggest drawback is that there is no room for parking.

It's good for runners but I do not like it too much

Slimane Concert
So awesome

Not bad, parking possible near the houses, and easy access.

Super show Jamel, we really enjoyed. Very good seating organization, people were there to guide us and show us our places. They were very welcoming and helpful. For parking spaces there is not much we had to park far enough. So it's better to arrive early. Otherwise very good experience and event

Superb room! But the seats are very small and so hyper complicated to stretch his legs. After an hour of show I had a lot of pain in the buttocks after the very hard seats.

Nice room, good acoustics. Just sit down for a long time for a beer.

Too many lines to the toilet, no way to urinate, no parking.
