What is Lowlands?
A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise is exactly what it promises to be: a true backpacker’s Garden Of Eden and Holland’s most adventurous cultural outdoorevent, offering a cutting edge choice of only the best in alternative music, film, stand-up comedy, visual arts, literature and street theatre.
For three days in August, a township with 65,000 inhabitants arises in the middle of the country. The Lowlands festival hosts no less than twelve stages in three large areas (among which a cinema and theatre), about 250 different acts and performances, dozens of restaurants from all corners of the earth, food and drink stalls, a large market with everything from clothes and CD stores to a barber’s shop, sports facilities, a sauna / hottub area, its own currency, a local radio station, a daily newspaper (Dutch only) and, last but not least: seven luxury campsites with hot showers and real, flushable toilets. A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise really is the ultimate summer holiday extravaganza!
Lowlands uses mobile-only tickets. Instead of a printout or PDF, you will have a QR code scanned in the Ticketmaster app.
This goes for your festival ticket at the wristband tent as well as all other festival-related tickets such as Parking Permits, Campercamping Tickets and Gllamcamp.
Depending on crowd volume, you may experience limited internet availability on arrival, which makes it essential to come prepared: make sure you save your tickets for offline access in the Ticketmaster app before you leave home for the festival. Having offline access to your tickets before you arrive on-site will simplify the entry process significantly.
