About Wilde Weide
3.4.5. July 2026 in recreation area Netl de Wildste Tuin, Kraggenburg.
You can enter the campground starting Thursday and stay until Monday 12:00.
Discover fresh new live acts on the most beautiful festival ground in the Netherlands! Expect a mix of upcoming bands and special niche acts from home and abroad. Think fresh indie and synthpop, pioneering hip-hop, danceable blends of funk and roots reggae, raw garage rock, compelling psychedelia, melancholy neoclassical, and left-field house and breakbeat. In short, food for the musical omnivore and those with an open mind. The intimate stages bring the feeling of a club show to an outdoor festival.
Wilde Weide is a four day vacation, filled with wild nature, creativity and adventure, from noon till early night.
Whereas at Wildeburg the emphasis is on electronic music, at Wilde Weide it is on live acts. Discover new bands, go loose to tropical sounds or be moved at a lie-down concert. We dance, listen and party from noon to the early night in a relaxed vacation setting.
Wilde Weide is a festival for adults, but minors ages 12 and up may attend in the company of an adult. To attend the festival independently, you must be 18 or older at the time of the festival.

Tickets
The ticket sale begins December 8th at 12PM. They will be available in the shop.
At Wilde Weide we all dive in among the bamboo for a long weekend. Weekend tickets give access starting Thursday afternoon and you can stay until Monday. Sunday tickets give access starting July 5 at 10:00 a.m. and you can stay until Monday. Sunday tickets will become available later.
During ticket sales, you can also choose a friend package.

With 10 friends you get a friends spot of 100m2.
The price per ticket remains the same, only you choose your own benefit.
23 and younger ticket
This ticket is only valid if you are 23 or under on the day of the festival. ID will be checked at the entrance.
Festival visitors under the age of 18 may enter in the company of an adult. Minimum age is 12 years old.
A weekend ticket in the regular sale costs €219 + €10 deposit for your garbage bag and €10 service fee.
If you’re 23 years old or younger, a ticket costs €189 + €10 deposit for your garbage bag and €10 service fee.
A weekend wristband is strictly personal and cannot be shared or transferred.
Yes! Selling tickets by name makes it harder to buy up and sell tickets for a profit. At the entrance of Wilde Weide, you will be asked for your ID, so make sure you bring it with you and the correct name is on the ticket.
You can change the personal information on your ticket via Name Change. Soon this will become available. This is possible via the confirmation mail you received from Paylogic. Click the button ‘Manage order’. You will then see an overview of your purchased tickets. Click on ‘More actions’ at the top right and then on ‘name change’.
Name Change is not a safe way to exchange money and tickets between strangers. Don’t be tempted to use this to buy or sell tickets through Marktplaats, for example. There is no deadline for changing the name on your ticket.
TicketSwap is the only way to transfer a ticket between people who don’t know each other. The sold ticket is replaced with a completely new ticket which ensures you have a valid ticket. The name is also changed in the process. Unfortunately, we regularly hear stories of people being scammed, so don’t be tempted to buy through any other means!
What steps do you follow if you want to sell your ticket:
1: Go to the confirmation email you received from Paylogic;
2: In the email, click on the button at the bottom: “Manage order”;
3: You now enter your My Order environment, click here on “More actions”;
4: Click on the option: “Sell on TicketSwap”;
5: You will now be redirected to TicketSwap, follow the steps on their website.
Not right now, but later it will be possible
Tickets will be sent out the week of the festival. You will find your purchase confirmation in your mail, when you search on Paylogic or Wilde Weide. If it is not there, request it via I Lost My Ticket.
No. Don’t get scammed by people and sites that say they can sell you a ticket. Tickets are not issued until the week of the festival, so there is nothing to trade. All tickets are sold by name and this is checked at the entrance. Tickets can only be resold via TicketSwap. A completely new ticket will be issued in the name of the new buyer.
You will receive an email with more details about this a week before the festival.
We will announce more about this later.
You will pay €10,- deposit for a trash bag, which you will receive at the entrance. On Sunday or Monday, you hand in your full trash bag at the exit and we’ll scan your festival ticket, and you will get your deposit back. This way we keep Wilde Weide clean together!
Camping
Absolutely, a weekend ticket ensures your stay on the camping from Thursday up until Monday. If you have a Sunday ticket you can stick around until Monday morning.
When you buy 10 weekend tickets before 9 February, you’ll receive a free “friends pitch” (Vriendenveld). This is a private 100 m² camping pitch, enclosed with greenery, and it includes a power point, an easy-up gazebo, and a beer table-and-bench set. Outside of the festival, these pitches are also used as regular camping spots, with natural, planted dividers. You can set up the space however you like, so it’s also possible to stay here with more than 10 people.
Using the power point, you can charge your phone or, for example, a Bluetooth speaker. You can’t connect heavier equipment such as a kettle or fridge. The power connection uses a CEE cable, so you’ll need to bring an adaptor plug yourself.
A €50 deposit is required for the easy-up gazebo. This will be refunded after the festival to the bank account that was used to pay.
Sure, there are several relaxing options for this. Check them out here.
Accommodations are located across the entire camping area.
If you have booked several of the same accommodation at once we will try to arrange for them to be placed next to each other.
Yes, for this you need a camper ticket in addition to your weekend ticket. Camper tickets are available from December 8th in the shop.
With a campervan, it is not possible to arrive on Saturday or Sunday. You can arrive with your campervan only on Thursday between 2pm and 10pm or Friday between 10am and 10 pm. Leaving with a campervan is only allowed on Mondays.
Our campsite is exclusively intended for campervans that meet the requirements of the Dutch ‘Wegenverkeerswet en de Regeling Voertuigen’. Cars with rooftop tents are also permitted. (Temporarily) Converted vehicles such as vans, station wagons with a mattress are not allowed. Campervans have a maximum length of 800 cm. Caravans and folding trailers are not allowed.
The use of gas installations with loose, removable gas bottles is not permitted in campervans. The following exceptions apply:
- Small gas bottles with a safety valve or screw cartridge with a maximum capacity of 250 grams are allowed.
- Campervans with a fixed gas installation and a built-in gas tank are allowed.
- Campervans with a fixed gas installation and a removable gas bottle are allowed, provided the installation is designed to permanently house the bottle.
Yes, campervan tickets are checked by name just as with entrance tickets. If you are coming with a campervan, follow the “Campers” signs. All passengers will need a valid entrance ticket.
Caravans are not allowed, but cars with rooftop tents are, if you have a campervan ticket. Cars without rooftop tent are not allowed on the festival camping.
Yes, tents are allowed around campervans. However, this space is limited.
There is no separation between rental tents and regular camping. The rental tents stand side by side and there are chances of other people with tents standing around them.
Your deposit will be refunded after the festival to the bank account number used to pay for the tent, approximately two weeks after your check out.
As soon as the gates of Wilde Weide open, you can check in at the desk for rental tents on the festival grounds. Please bring the ticket for the booked accommodation.
No, this is not necessary.
Yes, you can so via TicketSwap.
There are no power outlets available on the campsite.
It is not allowed to bring the following: professional photo, film and other (sound and/or video) recording equipment, laughing gas, dry-ice, glass (with the exception of necessary medication in original glass containers up to a maximum of 50 ml and perfumes), weapons and knives (except dinner cutlery), fireworks, torches candles, oil and gas lamps, pets, confetti, markers, needles, aerosols (except sunscreen, deodorant and perfume), generators, large sound systems, laser pens, batteries, drones and toxic, flammable or explosive materials. Confiscated goods will not be taken into custody.
Unfortunately, because we are in the midst of rebuilding and cleaning up between the two festivals, this is not possible. Also, your camping gear cannot stay at the site.

- Be among the first to pick a camping spot;
- Party without worries and hop on the bus fully satisfied on Monday;
- A bus trip is also greener than taking the car.

Bus trips will run with a minimum of 30 passengers, if busses get canceled, you will get refunded. More information about organized bus trips will follow soon.
