  • Dekmantel is an independent organization. We run Dekmantel Festival driven by a deep love for music and a commitment to creating lasting experiences for our visitors and artists. When you buy your ticket directly from us, you’re helping to support and safeguard the future of our global community.

  • Tickets for Dekmantel Festival are available exclusively through the official Dekmantel Festival website.

    We strongly recommend avoiding third-party vendors like Topticketshop, Budgetticket, Onlineticketshop, TicketsNederland, Ticketfindr, Facebook, Marktplaats, or any other unofficial platforms. Dekmantel cannot guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from these sources and cannot be held liable for any fraudulent transactions. For a secure purchase, please visit our official website.

  • It is not possible to resell your Dekmantel Festival tickets yet. In the past, we’ve seen our tickets being sold at high prices on resale platforms and in unofficial ticketshops, directly after sales began. Official resell will become available later via the MyOrder environment for those who can’t make it anymore.

    Please note that tickets will not become available in resale below their original purchase price. All official resale will take place exclusively through our own resale platform to ensure a fair and secure process for everyone.

  • No, you cannot change or cancel the ticket. We don’t offer a refund under any circumstance. You can only resell your ticket via our official resale platform. More information will be made available in the MyOrder environment later.

  • In the matter of sustainability, the best way would be to take the train. However, if flying is the most feasible option for you, there are multiple airlines flying to Amsterdam. We would kindly ask you to consider offsetting your flight emissions, if you are in the position to do so. We recommend using Atmosfair.

    Once in Amsterdam, we recommend biking – but there are also shuttle busses available; or parking for those who travel by car. There's numerous bike rental shops all over Amsterdam. When renting a bike in Amsterdam, ensure it comes with lights and a a sturdy lock, as bike theft is common in the city.

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

  • Yes, camping will be available at EuroParcs Amsterdamse Bos. Camping tickets will be released via our website at a later date, with more information about types of accomodations and prices to follow.

  • 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 Dekmantel Festival.

  • Dekmantel operates independently. We are transparent and committed to maintain an ethical approach in all aspects of our organisation.

    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 recognise 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.

  • In 2026, we’re expanding the Dekmantel Festival weekend experience into a 36-hour journey in the forest, tailored for the most adventurous electronic music heads.
