Our Story · Est. 2015
For years, De Kasteelhoeve has been part of the Medusa story. It is not just a location, it is the yard where friendships were formed, where music shook the air, and where summer meant something different.
On Tuesday 21 July we gather for the last time to celebrate 11 editions of electronic music, thematical completions, friendships and togetherness. This is not the end of Medusa Outdoor, but definitely the closing of a chapter that has shaped what and who we are now.
"One place. One day. One final gathering at the mythical Kasteelhoeve where we have written so much history."

Experience
Internationally acclaimed artists alongside our beloved residents. Curated for the dancefloor, always rooted in underground quality.
The legendary Kasteelhoeve, a castle farm with courtyard and garden. A unique open-air experience unlike any regular festival.
The Desert Nomads world brought to life through décor, visuals and the crowd itself. Every detail is crafted to transport you.
Open-minded people here for the music and the experience. A cosy but intensive, close-to-artist atmosphere every edition.
One ticket gives access to both the Techno Mainstage and the Nomad Camp by KNALL, two completely different sonic worlds.
This is the final edition at the Kasteelhoeve. Not the end of Medusa Outdoor, but the end of an era. Be part of the history.
