Feel at home and be whoever you want to be. We meet each other without judgment — regardless of colour, sexual preference, gender, or religion. Together, we’ll create an unforgettable weekend.

Sexual harassment is never OK. Yes means yes. No means no. Maybe means no. Silence means no. Do you feel unsafe? Approach someone of our ‘sfeerbeheer’ crew or first aider — they are here for you. No rush, but want to report something later? You can also do so via the contact form.

Wilde Weide loves bamboo and the natural world. Don’t break off branches to use as party props. Also, respect the work of our many artists — they put immense time and love into every piece and detail of Wilde Weide.

Cigarette 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 am, the live acts and DJs finish, and we shift to lovely chill sessions around the campfires. Please don’t start loud parties at the campsite — it’s meant to be a place to rest.

Some performances in the programme are delicate and intimate. The show — and the experience of the person next to you — can easily be overwhelmed. Save the chat for afterwards so everyone can fully immerse themselves in the moment.

Take care of one another and help where needed. If you suspect someone’s boundaries are being crossed, check in to see if they’re okay. Swimming is only allowed between 08:00 and sunset — swim with others on not while being intoxicated.

Use those lovely portable toilets to keep nasty smells and toilet paper out of the bamboo jungle. It’s the only right place to take care of your private business. After Wilde Weide and Wildeburg, the site returns to being a recreational area and campsite — leave it clean for the kids and holidaymakers.

Highly recommended: protect your musical senses and use earplugs. Forgot yours? Alpine earplugs are for sale at the bars and camp shop. The higher quality ones are available at the staffed tills near Wildlive.

For one weekend, we become a mini society made beautiful by our sense of community. Someone not behaving as they should? Feel free to call them out in a positive way. Together, we carry the Wilde Weide spirit and make it a fantastic weekend!

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.

You can arrive at the campsite from Thursday, July 3rd at 2:00 PM. Your tent may remain until Monday morning at 12:00 PM. With a weekend wristband, you can enter and leave the festival grounds freely. With a Sunday ticket, this is not possible.

Entrance opening hours:
Thursday: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Friday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Sunday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Campers (RVs) can only enter the campsite on Thursday between 2:00 PM and 10:00 PM or on Friday between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Once parked, campers must remain on-site until Monday morning. It is not possible to arrive with a camper on Saturday or Sunday.

Discover fresh new live acts on the most beautiful festival ground in the Netherlands! Expect a mix of emerging bands and special niche acts from home and abroad. Think fresh indie and synthpop, groundbreaking hip hop, danceable blends of funk and roots reggae, abrasive 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 capture the feel of a club show, but at a festival.

Wilde Weide is celebrating a long weekend of vacation, wandering through wild nature full of creativity and going on an adventure from noon to the early night.

Wilde Weide offers food for the musical omnivore. Think alternative pop, hip-hop, punk, live electronics, Pan-African sounds, garage rock, neoclassical, breakbeat and house. In short, music for those with an open mind.

We believe in the power of co-creation. Therefore, the musical program will be co-curated by a diverse group of people closest to the fire: the musicians themselves. Four curators will program part of the program and be on stage themselves. The curators for Wilde Weide 2025 are: Goldband, Joep Beving, Moody Mehran and Pip Blom.

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.

Absolutely, this is your guide to where you may wander, float and dance. Find all five stages and stumble across the creative madness with the festival map.

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.

You can return them at the deposit machines of Statiegeld Nederland. You can find these on the map.

Upon entering Wilde Weide, you will be given a cup token. In exchange for your token, you get the first cup for free at the bar. With each subsequent drink you hand in the cup and get a clean one. If you don’t want to carry around your cup the whole weekend, you exchange it at the bar for a cup token. If you lose your cup: a new cup costs half a token and cannot be exchanged for money. This saves tens of thousands of plastic cups and keeps Wilde Weide nice and clean.

It’s okay to take photos with your phone or a simple camera, but please respect the privacy of the other festival goers – think before you post anything online. If you want to bring a professional/SLR/mirrorless camera, please send us an e-mail in advance.

No, there are no lockers at Wilde Weide. Leave valuables at home and enjoy a carefree weekend.

No, we will not sell cigarettes at Wilde Weide.

There are ponchos for sale at the camp store, but we recommend bringing your own raincoat. This is more environmentally friendly and does not create a mess on the grounds.

The many small pieces of confetti are barely cleanable, which is why we don’t want confetti in Wild Meadow. Don’t worry, we’ll make it a party anyway!

Yes, but please bring a doctor’s prescription. At the first aid post, medicines can be kept refrigerated.

Drugs are not allowed at Wilde Weide.

The area has beautiful beaches and water. Swimming is completely at your own risk and only allowed inside the ball lines. Outside these lines, entering the water is prohibited. Swimming is only allowed between 08:00 and sunset. Organization can never be held responsible for calamities.

Yes, it can get quite chilly at night and we have a long weekend ahead of us. You definitely want to be able to dress warmly if you need to.

Take care of your ears! It is smart to use earplugs with a special music filter. That way you can still hear the music very well, you can still talk to the people around you and you protect your hearing. We sell (sleep) earplugs at the camping store, Partyplugs at the checkouts and PLUG-it earplugs at the bars.

Get karma points! Bring found items to the “Dorpsloket”. You can find it on the festival map.
