I am a Friend and I can't log in, what should I do?
If you are experiencing problems with your account, please contact Marian van Wijngaarden via [email protected].
Where will my donation go?
With your support we offer creators from all over the world a platform.
Thanks to your support, Holland Festival can create something special every year and we can bring shows to the Netherlands that otherwise would not be available here - shows that expand our worldview and create unforgettable experiences. These are world, European or Dutch premières. Think about Euphoria by Julian Rosefeldt (2022), the opera TIME (2021), composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Fremdkörper installation by Boogaerdt/VanderSchoot (2021), The Head & The Load by William Kentridge (2019), or aus LICHT van Karlheinz Stockhausen (2019).
How is it possible for tickets for Friends to be sold out, while regular tickets aren’t?
Every year, a percentage of the available seating is reserved for pre-sale for Friends of Holland Festival. The remaining seats will always be made available for regular visitors. Should you not be able to secure a ticket during pre-sales, there is always the possibility to secure one during the regular ticket sales. In this case, your Friend discount will still apply.
When will this year's Friends show take place?
This year's Friends show is Kein Licht on Sunday, 26 June, with a festive reception directly after. Friends of Holland Festival will receive an invitation for this via email.
