A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise (commonly called Lowlands or Lowlands Festival) is an annual three-day music and performing arts festival held in the Netherlands. The festival takes place 68 kilometres (42 mi) east of Amsterdam in Biddinghuizen, at Spijk en Bremerberg, adjacent to Walibi Holland.
Although the main focus is on music – rock, pop, dance, hip hop and alternative – Lowlands also offers indoor and outdoor cinema, street theatre, cabaret, stand-up comedy, ballet, literature and comic strips.
In recent years, the festival has attracted around 55,000 visitors and features over 200 acts on more than ten stages, which are named according to the NATO phonetic alphabet apart from the Heineken stage (named after the festival’s main sponsor since 2015). Most stages are housed in large tents to protect spectators from bad weather, with the largest being approximately the size of a regulation football pitch.
