Appelpop is een gratis toegankelijk festival op de Waalkade in Tiel. Het festival is vanaf 1992 uitgegroeid tot het grootste muziekfestival in zijn soort met internationale bekendheid. Elk tweede weekend van september is het voor veel bezoekers dé afsluiter van het festivalseizoen. Op vrijdag 8 en zaterdag 9 september 2023 vindt de 𝟑𝟎𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞 plaats.

Appelpop kenmerkt zich door de brede programmering van bands uit de top van de Nederlandse muziekindustrie, kwaliteit uit het popzalen-circuit en regionaal talent. Naast muziek op de podia en een festivalmarkt zijn er ook diverse andere activiteiten te doen, zoals een Silent Disco en een grote vrijdagmiddagborrel.

De organisatie van Appelpop bestaat volledig uit vrijwilligers. Het bestuur, de werkgroepen, de bouwploeg en de festivalvrijwilliger; iedereen helpt mee op vrijwillige basis en dat maakt Appelpop zo uniek!

Paradise City wasn’t built by itself. It’s the result of hard work by countless volunteers before, during and even after the festival. Together, we envision what a city of the future can look like with people working hand in hand to create something truly amazing.

For every citizen on the dance floor having the time of his life, there’s someone who made this happen behind the curtains. As a volunteer, you are super precious to us, as you directly represent the festival to our festivalgoers. You can get involved in nearly all the activities needed to make Paradise City run flawlessly, from the build up before the festival to the breakdown after it. During the festival you can get involved at the info booth, the camping, the kitchens or the bars, the activities are countless and that’s why we need YOU! Engage yourself and do not hesitate ;-)

You choose, we adapt!
Depending on your motivation and availability, you can help out for 1 day and up to 3 weeks.

Working as a volunteer is also a great opportunity to learn about Paradise City from the inside out, to get out of your daily routine, sharpen your skills, develop new ones and create a special bond with your fellow volunteers.
Learn how to work in a team, discover a new universe, meet new people and of course have lots of fun! You'll see, the people and atmosphere are insanely chill.

With over 600 dedicated volunteers working throughout the summer, we definitely need a lot of helping hands to make it happen!

If you feel like helping us build Paradise City, you can register as a volunteer right here.

And why not bring a friend with you? « Alone, I go faster; together, we go further »

Do you got some spare time in June and/or July, a lot of energy, motivation and a desire to make something cool? We guarantee a great experience :)

Horst wouldn't be what it is today without the endless dedication of our volunteers. Ever since the festival saw the light of day, many people from close and afar have helped Horst grow in countless ways. The share that volunteers bring to the table is undeniable and vital for what we're trying to accomplish.

Like any other year, we're looking for helping hands to make the 2023 edition one to never forget.

The returns vary accordingly:
1 shift = 1 day ticket for the day of your shift + 1 meal
2 shifts = 1 weekend ticket + 1 meal a day
3 shifts = 1 weekend ticket + 50% campsite discount + 1 meal a day

Special rewards for drivers and deconstruction due to different timetable (More info in next steps)

For our upcoming Horst Expo, 10 contemporary artists are creating in-situ work. The program titled "Where the wild things are" meanders through the ruins of the Asiat military base, and hopes to take people on a journey in this new city district, to propose ideas and inspiration on how we can all shape the cities we live in.

Even though we strive to make our contemporary art commissions as accessible as possible, a guided experience is always a plus! We are therefore looking for dynamic exhibition guides who are willing to translate the artists' intentions and backstories, into an energetic 1-hour walk, to welcome and inform visitors and transport them into the world of the exhibition.

More info on the Horst Expo can be found here

Compensations depend on the nature of engagement

The Horst Atelier is a five week program in which we collaboratively work towards building an immersive festival and visual arts program. We ask participants to subscribe for at least one week. Each Horst Atelier week starts on Sunday evening with a get-together and introduction of what the week will bring. The week ends on Friday evening. During the week we kick off at 09:00 and go till 18:00.

Horst offers accommodation, the basic sanitation needs, breakfast, lunch, dinner, water, snacks & coffee. Horst Ateliers weeks will be framed with talks, workshops and a group visit to Kiosk Radio. The Atelier activities vary per week. In return, you’ll receive a three-day ticket for the festival including camping. If you’d like to help out for a few extra days, you’ll receive additional compensation on top of your festival ticket(s).

This year, we’re adding a 5th Atelier week for the deconstruction of the festival. It will be slightly different from other Atelier weeks because there is no possibility to stay overnight and we won’t be organizing extra activities. The campsite will already be vacated and the festival site is still fully used by the festival. In other words: this one’s for the hard workers who’d like to help us out with making the park spic and span again after three days of Horst extravaganza.
