Wallibi Holland Event Grounds, Spijkweg 30, 8256 RJ Biddinghuizen

Lowlands is back! One of the most adventurous and exciting festivals in the Netherlands, it draws around 65.000 visitors over three days every year, where the impressive 250 acts are spread over 12 stages.

Lowlands festival dates

The festival normally takes place on the 3rd weekend in August for three full days, so this year, it will be jam-packed with events and excitement. If you'd like to get more out of Lowlands by extending your time at the festival, it’s possible to arrive on the Thursday and depart on the Sunday.

Headline acts at Lowlands

Lowlands is famous for the incredible and diverse headline acts it attracts to the Netherlands. In recent years, people and bands such as Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamarr, the Arctic Monkeys, Iggy Pop, Gorrilaz and The National have all played the main stage. In 2024, the headline acts are:

  • Fred again...
  • Queens of the Stone Age
  • Goldband

More than just music at Lowlands

The focus is alternative music and has been from the very beginning. However, nowadays Lowlands has expanded to include much much more, such as film, stand-up comedy, visual arts, literature and street theatre.

Fantastic festival facilities

As well as twelve festival stages, there is also a cinema and theatre, restaurants, food and drink stalls, a merchandise and CD market, a barber shop, relaxing rooms with head massages, sports facilities, a sauna, a hot tub and luxury campsites with hot showers and real toilets.

The Lowlands backstory

Originally known as "A Campflight to Lowlands Paradise", it was one of the first ever Dutch pop festivals. The first edition, under its old name, was organised in Jaarbeurs, Utrecht, by the Dutch artist Bunk Bessel.

For a couple of years, the festival didn’t take place, but finally, in 1993 some brave event organiser revived the festival and Lowlands found its new home in Biddinghuizen, where it has stayed to this day.

Getting to Lowlands

Lowlands organises a completely free shuttle bus service from Dronten and Lelystad train stations for the duration of the festival, so arriving by public transport is the best option.

Get your tickets from the Lowlands website before they sell out!
