Is anyone else on iPhone having issues with the app?? I keep getting an error message after trying to download this five time already pffft

Hey ya! First-time goer here!

Beyond excited to finally make it,

Just wondering what sort of merch is normally sold at the festival??

Thaaaanks!!!

If you're like me and only drink water on the premises, bring the following caps with you to seal your water bottle:

- Spa rood cap (the generic one that fits a lot of bottles)

- Earth Water (this one got me last year on Friday, went to Jumbo and found one on Saturday)

But I figured out on Saturday that I've could just order a Spa rood and be done with it... Anyways, any more tips, welcome!

Hi! Does anyone know any good after parties for the festival this year?
Is going to be my first time, so I don’t really know much about pricing, or time, or distance, or anything.

What after parties are the best ones? Is it worth it considering that we already have a festival during the day?
I’m very down to party as much possible haha so to me it would probably be worth it haha

Hi! I’ll be attending the Dekmantel festival this year, and I’m gonna work as a volunteer on all the 3 days.

Because of that, I got very interested on the Stoor x Dekmantel event that’s happening on thursday. Because during the festival I might not be able to enjoy it fully since i’ll be working.

Does anyone know the party? Is it worth it? (cuz is lowkey expensive €50,00)

If anyone has information about the size of the event, or the music style, etc etc. Or, if anyone else is thinking about going, feel free to reach out to me on my ig @666tathi !!

First time at Dekmantel this year and have got tickets for the Saturday. Don’t know too many of the artists so looking forward to discovering something new!

Any recommendations would be amazing so we can check out before we go. Also if any stages tend to have a specific genre or is it totally dependent on who’s playing? Thanks!!

Hi guys, it’s my first time at dekmantel as a volunteer, they give me 2 days with 10hours shift on friday and saturday , is it worth it? are they gonna give me the free access for sunday? i’ve already asked to them, if anyone has more info please tell me more

Hi All!

I'm returning to Bos for the first time since 2019 and plan on doing way more eating this time round. I was wondering what everyone's food Highlights are? And are there also different bars or do they all stock the same stuff? I'd love some good wine too.

Thank you, see you all at the end of the month x

Hey everyone so excited to make my dekmantel attendee debut! Going solo, but havent organised accomodation yet. Have i left it too late already? im not too fussy as long as its accessible to the Bos via bike. Any reccomendations you guys have for solo dekmantel accomodation would be appreicated as well. Seems like there is no 'one place' that all festival goers say, and instead are spread across the city?

Hey! I’ll be bikepacking before and after the festival, so I’ll have my nice gravel bike with me. Part of me really wants to ride to Dekmantel for the full Dutch experience, but I’m a bit nervous about leaving it there.

How safe is the bike parking at the festival? Is it a dedicated bike parking area just for attendees, or is it more of a public bike rack?

I already bought a bus ticket, but I’d much rather ride if it’s reasonably safe. Would you just use a couple of good locks and not worry too much, or would you play it safe and take the bus instead?

Curious to hear what people who’ve been before would recommend!

Just got a 3 days ticket, first time going solo and wondering if there is any groups for sharing tips and make friends?
Thanks 🫶🏻

Yo! Me and my two friends are going to Dekmantel this summer and unfortunately we won't be able to bring a tent from Sweden (where we come from), but we'd like to stay at the festival area. Is there anybody who has a two/three man tent that we could borrow/rent for three days? Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!

The past couple of years we've been to Dekmantel (from UK originally) we've hired bikes for getting around the city and to the festival etc as we usually stay a little longer than the festival.

This is of course really fun and affordable and the most efficient way to get around but when we were at the festival the last time we made friends with some locals and they told us they instantly knew we were tourist bc of the bikes we had (cringing).

I want to avoid this going forward – can any Amsterdam locals advise me on bike rentals that rent attractive looking bikes / bike rentals that locals use?

Thanks !!

Going for the first time and want to be prepared -should I have cash on me at all times?
-Best logistics in terms of going from the garden to Barbarellas?
Anything else worth knowing? I’m staying in jezera

If you’re a nerd like me and need a schedule you can customize, I created a sheet with the timetable you can copy.

Enjoy!

I'm looking for a Sunday ticket when the resale opens, is it easy enough to get?

Thanks
