Held in the heart of The Netherlands, Lowlands is a central part of the summer calendar for thousands of European music lovers each year. During three days in August, the Lowlands city rises in the middle of Holland: with 55,000 inhabitants and around 250 performances, including: a comprehensive programme of good quality theatre, film, visual arts, literature, stand-up comedy, plus bars and global restaurants, market, campsites, live radio broadcast, daily newspaper, unique currency and even it’s own University! All divided over three areas and eight stages, most of which are inside tents.
Lowlands takes place in Biddinghuizen, an hour drive from Amsterdam. The nearest airport is Amsterdam’s Schipol, but both Rotterdam and Eindhoven are within reasonable reach. There are regular direct trains from Schipol airport to Dronten, the nearer train station, from which the festival provides free direct shuttle buses to the site to ticket holders.
