We strongly recommend avoiding third-party vendors like Topticketshop, Budgetticket, Onlineticketshop, TicketsNederland, Ticketfindr, Facebook, Marktplaats, or any other unofficial platforms.

Your tickets will be sent out a few hours before the event. In the past, we’ve seen tickets being sold at high prices by third-party vendors on unofficial platforms directly after sales began. By delaying ticket delivery, we help ensure they go to people who actually want to attend Lentekabinet — and keep the set ticket prices available for them as long as possible.

If you can no longer make it to Lentekabinet you can resell your tickets via our own platform, which will become available at a later time via the MyOrder environment.

By bike
The route to Het Twiske is almost as beautiful as the festival grounds itself: the best option is to bike to Lentekabinet. This is also the most sustainable option! The bike ride takes about 30 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam. Navigate to Twiskeweg 8, 1511 BX in Oostzaan, follow the bike parking signs, and you can park your bicycle in the designated racks.

By shuttle bus
Besides biking, the most convenient way to travel to the festival is by taking one of the Lentekabinet shuttle buses from Amsterdam Noord metro station. We’ve relocated the shuttle stop to drop you off and pick you up as close to the festival entrance as possible, just a short 5-minute walk.

We offer discounted shuttle bus round-trip tickets: €7,50 for Early Arrival (board before 15:00) and €15,00 for Standard (from 15:00 onwards). Pre-sale tickets are available via our ticket shop. A one-way ticket back to the city can be purchased at the shuttle stop next to the festival site for €8,00.

The journey takes approximately 15 minutes each way, and the shuttles will run throughout the day. The first shuttle departs from Noord at around 12:30, departing from beneath the viaduct on IJdoornlaan (follow the signs). The final shuttle from the festival grounds leaves at approximately 01:00. Shuttles departing after the last metro has departed from Station Noord will drive past the ferry at Buiksloterweg as well, offering easy access to Amsterdam Central Station. Besides this, we are offering a special shuttle for our after party.

We strongly discourage travelling to Het Twiske by car. Lentekabinet has only one road for all traffic in and out, and takes place in a protected nature reserve (Natura2000). This year, we are focusing on sustainable and efficient transport options, such as our shuttle buses and travelling by bike.

The taxi / ordered transport drop-off and pick-up point, as well as the Kiss & Ride, will be located approximately 20 minutes from the festival entrance in order not to interfere with the shuttle service. Taking the shuttle bus helps reduce traffic and waiting times, and ensures a smoother arrival for everyone.

If you do need to travel by car, please carpool where possible. Parking costs €20 per day and can be purchased upon arrival.

Please note: the taxi pick-up point can get very busy at the end of the festival. We kindly ask for your patience. If you wish to avoid the crowds, consider leaving a bit earlier or taking the shuttle bus back.

No, camping in Het Twiske or sleeping inside a car is strictly prohibited (regardless of the type of a camp - tents/caravans/campers, cars etc.). All vehicles left inside Het Twiske after the festival will be checked for illegal camping. The nearest camping site to the festival grounds is Camping Vliegenbos. For more information about Camping Vliegenbos, you can visit their website.

Every year, we bring our festivals to life with the help of an incredible team of volunteers. Whether you're supporting the build-up, working behind the bar, or welcoming visitors at the entrance, your role is what makes it all come together. Not only will all volunteers have free access to the festival and other community events, you will also receive additional rewards depending on the type of shift you pick.

If you're interested, pre-sign up now through our form by clicking on 'Volunteers' at the top of this page, and we will contact you with more details as soon as the roles are open by the beginning of next year. We’d love for you to be part of Lentekabinet.

The entrance and toilets at Lentekabinet Festival are wheelchair accessible. However, please note that the festival grounds are mostly grass-covered, which may make mobility challenging for wheelchair users. If you need assistance, feel free to reach out to us ahead of the festival at [email protected], and we’ll be happy to connect you to one of our staff members, who can meet you upon arrival and show you the best routes to navigate around. During the festival, our Social Safety Team, easily recognized by their black vests with yellow "Social Safety Team" print written on the back, will also be available to provide support.

The minimum age for our visitors is 18 years. We might ask for your passport or ID at the entrance.

Lentekabinet festival is part of Dekmantel and operates independently. We are transparent and committed to maintain an ethical approach in all aspects of our organization. We stand firmly against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. While no act of support or financial contribution can fully address the suffering, we strive to contribute through donations and various fundraisers. For instance, every guest on our guest list contributes a daily donation, 100% of which is distributed equally between two organizations that we select every year. Additionally, we create space for expression at our events, welcoming forms of solidarity shared by artists and visitors alike. We recognize that these efforts cannot solve such large-scale injustice, and we don’t present our efforts as solutions. We continue to explore how we can deepen our engagement and responsibility as a cultural platform.

Practical information for visitors will become available closer to the festival date. If you still have a question, email us at [email protected], we're happy to assist you.
