Lowlands 2027

Lowlands returns to Biddinghuizen on 20 to 22 August 2027 with music, comedy, theatre and more. Ticket sales usually open in February.

Lowlands is the Netherlands’ big end-of-summer festival: three days of rock, pop, hip hop and dance, plus comedy, theatre, film and science talks. It is famous for announcing its line-up only after tickets are sold, so buying is always a bit of an act of faith. A new festival director has hinted that the site layout will be reworked for 2027, and after 2026 did not fully sell out, tickets may be easier to get than in the past.

  • When: Friday 20 to Sunday 22 August 2027
  • Where: Evenemententerrein Walibi Holland, Spijkweg 30, Biddinghuizen
  • Tickets: 2027 prices and sale date not yet announced; sales usually open in early February, and the 2026 weekend ticket was €365. See the official site
  • Age: no hard minimum, but the organisers say it is not suitable for under 16s
  • Getting there: train to Lelystad Centrum, then the free festival shuttle bus

Good to know: most people camp on one of the five campsites, and arrival usually opens on the Thursday.
