Explore the North Festival
Festival
20 until 22 November
The festival weekend of Explore the North is a three-day journey of discovery filled with stories in many forms!
Something is in the air above Leeuwarden. A little holy spirit, a little rave sweat, a little fabric softener. Explore the North Festival returns on 20–22 November 2026 and the first names are now announced. From rage to fungal networks and from craft punk to sacred choir trips, the festival weekend of Explore the North is a three-day journey of discovery filled with stories in many forms.
In the coming months we’ll announce many more names. Get your Early Birdticket now for €55.50, or a Youth ticket for €28.50 (ages 13–25 and students). We do not sell tickets for individual programmes.
