DGTL Festival is the future-facing dance festival of Amsterdam. Every Easter weekend – in 2027 expected in late March – the industrial NDSM wharf in Amsterdam Noord transforms into a world of cutting-edge electronic music, large-scale art installations and radical sustainability. Exact dates to be confirmed.

More than a festival

DGTL pairs techno, house and electro line-ups with a mission: it was one of the world’s first circular festivals, pioneering zero-waste operations, plant-based food and energy innovation. The setting matches the ambition – raw shipyard halls, cranes and container stacks on the banks of the IJ, ten minutes by free ferry from Central Station.

What to expect

• Multiple stages indoors and outdoors across the NDSM terrain
• Art & technology installations that change every edition
• International crowd: DGTL editions also run in cities from Barcelona to São Paulo – Amsterdam is the mothership

Practical information

• When: Easter weekend 2027 (late March), day and night programmes
