Holland Festival 2025 concludes with a richly varied final weekend
Holland Festival 2025 concludes with a richly varied final weekend
With ten different performances and a film brunch packed into a full closing weekend, the 78th edition of the Holland Festival came to an end on Sunday, 29 June. The weekend was a good reflection of the entire festival, ranging from the individual opera experience From Dust, to the seven-hour theatre marathon The Seasons, and from intimate solos to Opus, the last concert on film by the 2021 assocatiate artist Ryuichi Sakamoto in Welcome to Asbestos Hall and to the overwhelming multimedia production ROHTKO with its pounding score.

Welcome to the Holland Festival 2025!
We present a full range of international performing arts: music, music theatre, theatre, dance, multidisciplinary forms, visual arts and film. The artists we invite present the unlimited freedom of art in all its facets – innovative, pioneering and artistically engaging.
Dive into the festival: visit as many performances, talks, workshops, film screenings, late nights and Visits as you can. Choose something you don’t know yet, and let yourself be surprised. Many artists are coming to the festival – or even to the Netherlands – for the first time, and several collaborations are made especially for this edition.
