Lowlands 2025 Festival was officially sold out after just 23 minutes, solidifying its reputation as one of the most anticipated events of the summer. All 65,000 tickets were snatched up almost immediately, leaving many fans disappointed. But optimistic festival-goers still have some hope; tickets for special camping areas like Gllamcamp and group camping spots are still available.
The frenzy began on February 8, 2025, at 11 AM when ticket sales opened, and within minutes, fans were left scrambling as the last tickets were booked. According to Mojo, the festival organizer, "Tickets for Lowlands 2025 flew off the shelf like hotcakes." This rapid sellout wasn't entirely unexpected, as anticipation for the lineup has been building for months.
This year’s lineup boasts headliners such as A$AP Rocky, Queens of the Stone Age, and Chappell Roan alongside up-and-coming acts like Fontaines D.C. and Jamie xx, captivating music lovers across genres. This impressive assembly of talent, which also includes classical performances from the Noord Nederlands Orkest, reflects the eclectic and vibrant music scene the festival is known for. The enthusiastic reception to the lineup announcement has been described as overwhelming, with intrinsic excitement pushing ticket prices higher than last year by €24, now set at €349.
Despite the sellout, many fans still have opportunities to secure their place at the festival. Ticket resale platforms such as TicketSwap and Ticketmaster may see tickets become available as people resell their spots. Here's where the cautious optimists come back. Mojo encouraged fans not to lose hope, stating, “There can be extra tickets available due to invalidated original sales, which typically happens, giving you more chances to snag one later.”
Travel arrangements are also being streamlined this year, as the Lowlands organization is actively discouraging car use due to congestion fears on provincial roads around Biddinghuizen. Instead, they are promoting the use of public transport, which they believe will provide easier access to the festival and reduce environmental impact. “The roads can barely handle the traffic, and this push for public transportation is to help mitigate these worries,” organizers stated.
Another exciting development is the return of the Lowlands Science component, which invites universities and research institutes to participate. This will connect festival-goers with engaging educational experiences amid the music buzz. The Saturdays’ ticketing highlights also allowed for the return of the successful classical music performances by the Noord Nederlands Orkest, who will take the stage again this year to serenade festival-goers with some of the greatest classical compositions, including Beethoven's iconic Fifth Symphony and Ravel’s Boléro.
The enthusiasm from the festival's core acts contributes immensely to the cultural fabric of Lowlands, where genres intertwine to create unique interactions. “It’s such an honor to perform at this festival and present classical music on such a grand and diverse platform,” stated Marcel Mandos, the artistic leader of the Noord Nederlands Orkest.
Overall, the event promises to deliver three exciting days from August 15 to 17, 2025, held at the Walibi Holland grounds, with visitors expected to revel in everything it has to offer. The excitement entailed with Lowlands 2025 can hardly be overstated as fans gear up for another vibrant edition of the beloved festival.
