As you may know, the Netherlands belongs to the TOP of the Electronic Dance scene, with more than 300 Electronic Dance Festivals in summer only. With just 17M people, and about 130km west to east and 250km north to south, the Netherlands must be the most dense country in terms of Electronic Music festivals.
With such amount of festivals, it is hard to find the good ones. Although I did not attend all the festivals in the past, I try and list some of the most attractive festivals to have a look at. Whether you are someone from the Netherlands who wan to go to a good festival, or want to experience of a great festival while visiting my little country; Please have a look at my list below. I've include weblinks behind each name.
Please note: I'm a techno lover, as I do like cosy festivals, food and art. My list is in no particular order.
- DGTL
First spring festival in 2017, great line ups, great atmosphere; Inspiring concept with big attention to sustainability - Dekmantel
Always the best Techno line up of the year; Promoters are truly Techno lovers - Welcome to the Future
A combination of different electronic music styles; Great food, but do avoid the main food street - 909
Quality Techno line up and loved by the local people from Amsterdam - A Day at the Park
Nice combination of music, food and art; Love their oysters :) - Paradigm Festival
Somewhat out of the Amsterdam area, this festival combines great music, nice location, and good food'; Multi day event - Mysteryland
Musically this one is be far from my favourite, but from show and art point of view, this is the best festival in the Netherlands; Multi day event - ADE
The number 1 music conference and event in the world with hundreds of parties and events to choose from; 5day event; Last year more than 300.000 people visited this event
Let me know when you want to get guidance in the electronic dance scene in the Netherlands, or like to go to one of our festivals when visiting the Netherland. I may be able to help you.
Carpe Diem
