4.5.6 July 2024 in recreational area Netl de Wildste Tuin in Kraggenburg, the Netherlands.

You can enter the camping grounds starting Thursday and stay until noon on Monday.

Discover new, fresh live acts on the most beautiful festival ground in the Netherlands! Discover new bands at intimate stages, let loose on tropical sounds, be moved at recumbent concerts and throw everything out on the dance floor. In short, food for musical omnivores and people with an open mind. A long weekend holiday, wandering through bamboo forests and on an adventure from afternoon to early night.

From the makers of Wildeburg.

Expect a mix of emerging bands and special niche acts from home and abroad. What does that sound like? Think fresh indie and synthpop, experimental winds of the hip-hop scene, danceable blends of funk and roots reggae, compelling psychedelia, abrasive post-punk, melancholic neoclassical and left-field house and breakbeat. In short, fodder for the musical omnivore and those with an open mind.

We capture the feel of an intimate club show, but at a festival; the stages have the modest size of between 500 and 2000 people. The focus is on daytime and early night; programming runs from 12:00 to 02:00.

We believe in the power of co-creation. Therefore, the music programme is co-designed by a diverse group of people who are closest to the fire: the musicians themselves. Four curators will programme part of the programme. We will announce these later.

At Wilde Weide, the emphasis is on live acts: there will be three live stages and two DJ stages. Discover new bands, go wild to tropical sounds or be moved at a lie-down concert. We will dance, listen and party from noon to the early hours of the night in a relaxed holiday setting.

Everyone is welcome at Wilde Weide, and minors can attend in the company of an adult. However, the festival is catered to adults and there are no activities specifically for minors. All visitors must have a ticket to the festival. To visit the festival independently, you must be 18 years of age or older.

Drop your question via Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger or send us an email at [email protected].

Pioneers of the first edition have received an email to redeem their card for next year.

Were you not there this year but want to join the next sale? Then register now and you will get an email about it later this year.

At Wilde Weide, we all dive amongst the bamboo for a long weekend and there is no separation between camping and festival grounds. Therefore, no single Friday or Saturday tickets will be on sale. Only weekend tickets will be available initially. These will give access from Thursday afternoon and you can stay camping until Monday. A small number of Sunday tickets will become available later in 2025.

You can also choose to buy 10 weekend tickets at a time to fix a friends’ spot or 6 weekend tickets to borrow a beer bench set.

A wristband is meant for 1 person, and cannot be transferred to someone else.

After buying your ticket, you will receive a confirmation email from Paylogic. This does not yet include your ticket, because your ticket will be mailed to you in the week of the event.

Yes, the correct name of the visitor must be on the ticket. So make sure you enter the correct information, as this will be copied on your ticket. At the entrance this will be checked against your ID.

Tickets will be sent out the week of the festival. You will find your purchase confirmation in your e-mail when you search on Paylogic or Wilde Weide. If it is not there, request it via I Lost My Ticket.

You can change the personal information on your ticket via Name Change for €10. 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.

No, through all these sites you cannot buy valid tickets because tickets are not sent out until the week of the festival, so there is simply nothing to sell. In addition, tickets must be in the correct name and only through Ticketswap and Paylogic Name Change can this be changed.

You will receive an email with more details about this a week before the festival.

The original buyer keeps the perk. So if you have opted for priority sale, but you sell your ticket, you still keep your priority for next edition(s). Have you opted for a friends perks? Each group member gets their own festival card and can resell it if necessary. The perk is linked to the original main buyer. If the original head buyer sells his card, he can designate someone else in the group to redeem the perk. If the entire group sells its card, the advantage is forfeited. The perk you have chosen represents no value and cannot be resold or transferred to other people outside your group.

Yes, with a weekend ticket you can camp on the camping grounds from Thursday through Monday.

This can be done with a motorhome map, these will be available later.

Important to know:
– Motorhome spaces are only for motorhomes that meet the requirements mentioned in the Road Traffic Act and the Vehicle Regulations. This does not include vehicles such as temporary converted vans, caravans, folding trailers and estate cars with mattresses.
– Motorhomes can only arrive on Thursdays and leave last on Mondays.
– The camper must not exceed 8 metres in length.
– There is no electricity facility.
– Gas systems are allowed in motorhomes if a recent (max 1 year old) MOT inspection report can be shown.
– Festival ticket is not included.

Yes, tents are allowed around campers. However, this space is limited.

Caravans are not allowed, but campers and cars with rooftop tents are if you have a camperticket. Or just book a rental tent!

Wilde Weide is an adventurous nature reserve so not everyone can get to a stage in the same way. Some stages can only be reached by wheelchair with special off-road tyres and a single spot, unfortunately, cannot be reached at all. Fortunately, there are plenty of places you can get to.

Later this year, there will be a form online for requests and tailored information. So we cannot guarantee that all requests are 100% achievable, but we are happy to help where possible.

To make it a great festival for everyone, we have listed a dozen village values. Weave them into your doings, and it will be the best weekend of the year anyway.

Feel at home and be who you want to be. We don’t look at each other for colour, sexual orientation, gender or religion. Together, we make it a wild weekend.

Sexual harassment is definitely a no-go. Yes means yes, no means no, maybe means no and silence means no. Feeling unsafe? Speak to one of our atmosphere managers or first aid staff. Not in a hurry, but want to make a report? It is also possible to fill in the contact form.

Wilde Weide loves bamboo and nature. Don’t break off branches to use as party enhancers. Countless creative people work with immense time and love on all the art and details of Wilde Weide, please keep their work intact.

Beech butts are the number one pollutant and extremely difficult to clean up, which is why we hand out ashtrays at the entrance and there are many ashtrays scattered around the site. Also keep your own camping spot clean and hand in your filled rubbish bag at the rubbish point when you leave, your weekend pass will be scanned and you will be refunded €10 deposit after the festival. Reuse your tent at the next festival. Are you really out of your tent or not taking it with you? There are containers at the trash point for collecting tents and other camping equipment.

At 02:00 at night, live acts and DJs are over and there are good chill sessions by campfires then. Don’t build parties with loud music on the campsite at night, as this is the place to rest.

Some acts on the programme play fragile and hushed music. Keep in mind that the show and the experience of the person next to you can be quickly drowned out. So save your talking points until after the show so that everyone can be fully absorbed in the moment.

We look out for each other and help where necessary. If you suspect someone is overstepping their limits, check that they are OK. Swimming is only allowed between 08:00 and sunset; do so sober and with other people.

Use one of those beautiful Dixie to avoid nasty smells and toilet paper in the bamboo jungle. It is the only right place for all your private needs. After Wilde Meadow and Wildeburg, the site is once again a recreational area and campsite, so leave a clean spot for all the children and holidaymakers.

Take care of your ears and fix earplugs with a special music filter. That way you can still hear the music super well, you can still talk to the people around you ánd protect your hearing. We sell good Alpine Partyplugs at the manned box office. At the campsite shop we sell (sleep) earplugs and at the bars the old-fashioned foam plugs.

For a weekend, we are a mini society so beautiful because of the sense of community. Is someone behaving not quite yucky? It’s fine to address each other on a positive note. Together, we carry the Wild Meadow feeling and make it a matchless first edition!
