Pinkpop is the grandfather of Dutch festivals, running since 1970, and the 2027 edition is its 56th. Megaland in Landgraaf, in the far south of Limburg, becomes a small town of rock, pop and big international headliners for three days. The line-up is not out yet; first names usually arrive in late November. Unusually, 2027 is not on the Pentecost weekend but in mid June.

  • When: Friday 18 to Sunday 20 June 2027
  • Where: Megaland, Hofstraat 13 to 15, Landgraaf
  • Tickets: sale date and prices not yet announced; see the official site
  • Camping: several campsites, from basic festival camping to glamping; recommended minimum age on the campsites is 16
  • Getting there: it is a long train trip from the Randstad; use the festival’s PinkPlanner to plan transport and accommodation

Good to know: under 18s cannot buy alcohol, and wristband checks are strict.
