Lowlands

Lowlands 2026 runs Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August at Evenemententerrein Walibi Holland in Biddinghuizen, and camping from Thursday 20 August is included in the weekend ticket (official festival info). Some 65,000 festival goers, twelve stages, roughly 250 acts, and a programme that runs from music to comedy and science. Here is the practical side: the bag rule, lockers, charging and how to get there.

Lowlands 2026 at a glance

All of the above comes from the official English info page and the Lowlands FAQ. Details can shift, so give those pages a quick look before you pack.

What Lowlands is like

The full name is A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, and the campingflight part is accurate. For one long weekend Walibi Holland turns into a temporary city: you sleep there, eat there, shower there, and the programme keeps going long after the main stages wind down.

It is not only bands either. Music, comedy, science, theatre and film share the site, and the 2026 line-up includes names like Tyler, The Creator and Lorde. Tickets are sold through the official channels only, so check the tickets page for current availability.

The bag rule, and where your stuff goes

Lowlands is strict about bags on the festival grounds: nothing bigger than 30 x 21 x 10 cm, about the size of an A4 sheet, per the official FAQ. Bigger bags are fine at the campsite. So pack in two layers: the big bag lives at your tent, the small one comes with you.

For valuables, the same FAQ points to a locker service on the campsite lane where you can store things safely during the festival. If your last locker experience involved a key on a wristband, they have moved on. Event Lockers, the kind Volt runs at festivals across Europe, open with a personal code from your phone, so you can come and go all day. Nothing to lose, nothing to carry.

Keeping your phone alive for three days

Lowlands is cashless: at the bars and food stalls you pay by card or phone, per the official FAQ. Your phone is also your ticket, your map and the only way to find your crew once the crowd swallows them. A dead battery on day two is a real problem, and a wall socket in a field is not a thing.

There is charging on site. The official FAQ lists charging stations on the festival grounds, plus a charging service where you can rent a powerbank or hand in your own phone to charge. The easier route is to sort it before you leave: Volt Charging Service is open for booking for Lowlands 2026. You get a Volt-Charger, a pocket-sized powerbank, and swap it for a fully charged one once a day. Pick-up and swap spots sit on both the campsite and the festival grounds, so you are never far from fresh power.

How it works

1. Book online before the festival. Prices rise closer to the event.
2. Pick up your Volt-Charger at Lowlands and pay a small refundable deposit.
3. Swap it once a day for a fully charged one whenever it runs low.
4. Return it at the end and the deposit comes back.

Charge while you walk, dance or sleep. No hunting for sockets, no sitting next to a charging point while the good stuff happens elsewhere. More on how Volt handles power at festivals is on our charging service page.

Getting there

The relaxed route is the train to Lelystad, about an hour from Amsterdam, then a free shuttle bus straight to the festival (official travel info).

Driving? Navigate to Bijsselseweg 31 and book your parking in advance, which is cheaper than paying at the gate. There is bicycle parking too. The full rundown, including coach options, is on the official transport page (in Dutch).
