Welcome to the 13th edition of Lentekabinet, your big spring adventure and the bright kick-off of another promising season. Dekmantel’s annual festival touches down just north of Amsterdam, on the lush grounds of Het Twiske, during Pentecost weekend on 23 and 24 May. It’s a two-day affair where you can reunite and reconnect: with music, with the arts, with nature and—through all of the above—with each other.

Lentekabinet 2025 was all about stepping off the beaten track, nurturing creativity and connection, and playfully platforming cross-cultural stories. Its stages cast a fresh spotlight on music and the visual/performing arts, on local tastemakers and global acts, on fringe talent and established names, on DJ culture and live sounds. Together with a new circle of cultural partners, Lentekabinet 2026 will come to life both inside and beyond the festival grounds. Cantina (known for Aprilfeesten and Homelanding) brings their trademark spectacle of curiosities to Het Twiske, taking over part of the grounds with food, art, and their own stage. Elsewhere on the grounds, FC Hyena, Striptopia, PIP and Tabaria Café add their own worlds to explore, with plenty more surprises still to come.

Ticket sales for Lentekabinet ’26 will start on Tuesday November 25 at 12:00 for pre-registered guests. General ticket sales start on Wednesday 26 November at 12:00.

Ready to let the sun back in? We can’t wait to see you in Het Twiske. ♥
