Forest National - Vorst Nationaal Review

Concert hall. Little parking. Parking is expensive, 10

Too bad having to search for parking for a long time.

Nice place for concerts with some places for food and drinks next to it.

Cold concert hall in the pit anyway after paying dearly for its place ...

It was a wonderful experience, we went to watch Disney on Ice and it was fantastic. It's a bit unfortunate that there weren't enough lights on when we were searching our chairs but the show was fascinating!

Superb concert hall, not too expensive beers. Only downside expensive parking

Lots of people during the festivities but very pleasant place

Acoustic very average - uncomfortable seats - parking very insufficient, privilege
public transport despite their clearly insufficient frequency!

Great performance arena, great show: Cirque du Soleil - Quidam

Large arena. Very diverse performances. Large waiting area in front. Food & drinks available inside. Difficult to reach in a car, to park and to leave. Police distributes tickets like they're candy.

Tips & tricks:

If you arrive early (~1h before the start of the show), you may be able to park along the side of the park in "Avenue Victor Rousseau", otherwise, I would try "Avenue Fontaine Vanderstraeten", "Rue de l'Ancienne Cure" (behind the church) or, last, as a last resort, "Parking Stalle" + public transport.

You can can wait for the show taking a stroll in the Abbaye of Forest's garden (a park).

Visited March 2014

The room is always at the top acoustic level and positioning

The location we were located we did not see the singer no lighting on the stairs no place for people who have a wheelchair is a pity the sound was not famous

The best concert hall in Belgium. Small star less for lack of parking.

Spacious concert hall and many entrances and exits inside. music quality sufficient, nice setting. Good room for rock concerts, less for DJ concerts.

nice place but difficult to access because of little transport

Nice concert hall, but very very difficult to find a parking space. Coming 1 hour in advance is not a luxury!

Stunning venue for a more than stunning concert: Sting. Cute touch: All the food vendors next to the venue were playing his music before the concert. No idea if they do this for any artist there, but I assume so.

The chairs were more than uncomfortable and the price of a bottle of water is exorbitant (3.5 for 33cl). Take your own bottle of water despite their indication to the contrary!

Location good for everyone, close to airport. Public transport Is not self-evident, expensive parking 10 euros, sometimes you can also stand a little further in a street, bad acoustics from the highest balcony, do not save on that, Sportpaleis is bigger and more pleasant in my opinion, not much modernized recently, little good smooth entrance, check-in itself, scan went quickly

Beautiful room nothing to complain about, the location is just so bad. difficult to park

The size of the audience is moderate and the sound is great.
I have been watching a concert by eros ramazzotti.
Parking is a bit difficult.
Even kpop concert will be close to the audience

Sad access control by G4S, even worse the sound inside ...

The room is ok but does not have the comfort of a room like the one in Antwerpen. In addition, this room does not have a large car park accessible ...

It was not at the concert, but the room and organization was lousy. Unfortunately, there was plenty of smoking in the room, really massive. In addition, pickpockets were active. After the concert there were dozens of empty covers on the floor. 1 of my friends was a victim. Security was there but they were especially busy with people working out of the room as soon as possible after the concert.

Capacity toilets was much too low. Was a huge row. And at the bottom of the stairs there was such a huge pile of cups after the concert that you could no longer safely climb the stairs.

And then you could also only pay the drink with cash. Hello it's 2018 people! Fortunately we had just enough for 3 beers ...

In short, I will now skip Vorst Nationaal. Amateurs.

An evening of Forest National is recommended. Despite the poor parking situation, much has been done to achieve a good connection with public transport and existing parking locations in the city. The room is fine, even when you are sitting at the back. Toilets were really poorly arranged on my evening, adequate facilities but not open or not clean.
You go for your artist and if you pay top prize you have a nice evening and that's what it's about.

Either Murielle was talking too loud or your amplification was too loud unnecessarily. Too bad but a lot of words were no longer understandable

It's perfect, except for parking, there, it's really a hassle

Always the same problems of her ... It ruined the pleasure of the first part of Alice Cooper ... Really a pity!

Impresive concert hall. I went here twice for a concert: Kanye West & Green Day. Quite big, but everyone is relatively close to the stage (2 balcony levels). impressive collection of stage elements, lights and special effects like fire balls, fireworks and sparkle curtains.

Brussels concert hall that welcomed all the stars of music. Too bad the complicated parking.

Big problem parking, friendly staff. His not great. Wc dressed. Beautiful concert hall

Shame and profit for the peddlers who join the room. If you know, go eat somewhere else before

Never been crazy to get there, the room is just fine. The organization is not always fantastic.

I went there for basketball and I was well put. The sound goes very well which made the atmosphere even better

One of the best place to see concert and live show in Bruxelles

Good showroom, for the size has a very reasonable acoustics

No numbered seats. Illogical arrangement of lockers and toilets.

Beautiful relatively small room.
Too few toilets for everyone who has to go to the toilet during the break.
Not enough parking space in the area, it is necessary to arrive on time.

The acoustics are really rotten. Too bad because they sometimes spend cool stuff.

Great venue. Friendly and helpful personnel. Good sound. And the bus stop is just 10 metres away.

Theater far away from the center, medium sound.
Do not take 33 cl bottles inside, it will cost you 3.50, which I think is abused!
Good point, 2 foods-truk are at the entrance of the room.

A somewhat outdated infrastructure, sound quality could be better. Parking has improved in recent years.

Simply magnificent room ... back from having been to see Disney on ice, my children did not take full eyes

Awesome, great atmosphere, small room laus for concerts at the top

Great floor system presented at the fair.
The Stand-On Floor system can be installed without tools and with exchangeable prints you create a unique look.

I had a seat in front in the 9th rank ... nothing seen ... everyone standing ...

Too hot and too expensive to drink water at 3 euro 50 shameful music too much loud

I did not say anything about the place. But the webside for booking seats is really not up to date. I have never reached the payment page and now when I want to try again there is no more room for the most expensive tickets. I am extremely disappointed. I will not be able to see Kendji Girac in December.

Maybe fine if you are in the area. If you come from outside the outskirts of Brussels and are therefore obliged to come by car because there is no possibility to get home by public transport after the performance, then it is particularly badly arranged. You are probably already in a traffic jam before you are near Vorst. Ok you can take that into account (though, if you still have to work, you already have a problem). P&R is incorrectly stated on the site, address is incorrect. Good, found anyway. Hopelessly late because completely full (2 hours before the start of the performance). Far too small so. With a bit of luck I found a place somewhere along the street. Then tram search, not obvious. Don't forget to take your free ticket at the machine (the use of this is totally beyond me). Everyone at 1 and the same of course. Waiting for the tram. On your return, hope you will be on your own, we were lucky but I think you can wait a long time. Anyway, not recommended. Room itself felt rather unsafe when leaving. Large crowd that had to go outside along 1 narrow staircase. Hopefully nothing ever happens there because I don't want to imagine what scenes there are to see when panic breaks out. No numbered seats and with the whole car hassle so no chance to get another one. No problem for us but something to keep in mind. Not really inclined to come back again

A very nice hall of events with the right balance between capacity and visibility/good seating.

Iconic place of the show in Brussels
Nickel organization
Staff very discreet and especially super efficient
Place very well maintained and which has crossed the time without taking a ride
Thank you for all this

Nice room with good visibility everywhere! Only search for toilets ...

Went for a concert, it was awesome, organized very clean

Genius . World lighting, great acoustics. Great concerts
