We know many of you were waiting for this specific news, so here we go..

The answer is YES, there will be an afterparty! Together with the local Capiche collective we’re bringing you 7 hours filled with highly danceable music to wrap up the festival weekend on Saturday September 7. Capiche will open the night with an 80’s boogie inspired, Chicago, Detroit and New York house set!

The Draaimolen team loves surprises, so the rest of this line-up will remain a secret until the very end. Rest assured, these artists will keep you going until the early hours as Krackfree Soundsystem will guide you to audio bliss.

Festival

Draaimolen Festival is a 100% independent non-profit festival based in Tilburg, The Netherlands. We organize an intimate weekend festival in the forest built by a small team and a huge community of music lovers. Our shared passion translates to the festival site, that feels as a serene oasis in a jungle of commercial festivals. We encourage artists to experiment, to do something different. Our goal; give you the best festival experience possible and show you how life can be different if we all revolve around passion. Expect 6 stages with a different setting and music approach, all in symbiosis with nature.

On September 6 & 7 you can join us for another ode to the dance floor.

Op 5 september vindt in onze main de kickoff plaats van een bijzonder weekend voor elektronische muziek. Het internationaal alom geprezen festival Draaimolen heeft dat weekend een ongekend sterke line-up op het MOB-complex staan, maar zal dit op de donderdag aftrappen met het bijzondere Openingsconcert in 013. Hiervoor is Willem (bekend van o.a. The Opposites) de headliner, eerder dit jaar bracht Willem zijn veelgeprezen tweede soloalbum Spuug van God uit, waarmee hij een nieuwe standaard zette met zijn meeslepende liveshows. 

Alle bezoekers van het openingsconcert ontvangen een limited edition 7-inch vinyl met drie exclusieve tracks die niet beschikbaar zijn in de digitale versie van het album. Dit speciale vinyl bevat ook een Ineffekt remix van de lead single van het album, "In Mijn Ritme." Er komen nog 2 acts bij om een complete avond aan te bieden.

Draaimolen Openingsconcert: Willem (live)

WILLEM

The opening concert is always something special for us. The fresh energy of both the crowd and artists sets the tone for all the magic that is about to be experienced. Together with our friends from Poppodium 013 we’ll kick off the festival weekend on Thursday September 5!

Inspired by the lyrical prowess of legendary rappers and the vibrant culture of jazz, Portmouth’s Baby Panna creates deeply personal music with pulsating beats and soulful melodies. He’ll open the weekend with a live performance.

Willem will join us for this evening, bringing his acclaimed album ‘Spuug van God’ to life in a mesmerising live performance. Attendees will receive an exclusive 7-inch vinyl featuring three unreleased tracks and an Ineffekt remix of ‘In Mijn Ritme’.

On the Friday of our festival, Willem will transform his performance into a unique and one-off experience in our forest. In collaboration with Ineffekt, a night version of the original album will present a mixture of hip-hop and electronic music. We highly advice you to experience both!

As the night progresses, Safety Trance will craft a powerful and highly danceable finale. Born out of the vibrant Caracas scene of the 90s, his music blends everything from EBM, wave, hardcore and acid to techno and reggaeton. He’ll bring a dark energy to 013, fusing industrial beats with hypnotic rhythms.

For those with Draaimolen Festival tickets, the opening concert will be available at a reduced price. Find the link in your mailbox!

Entrance is completely free, doors open at 13:00 and close at 01:00, so come early as space is limited and full is full.

We’re delighted to announce the first ever Draaimolen x Cabin Fever event in London. With a mutual commitment to independence and a drive to push the boundaries of electronic music, we curated a 9-hour dance journey at FOLD, placing emphasis on an intimate, community-first feel.

Across FOLD’s main room, we’re keeping things dark, deep & moody. A special opening set from UK dub legend Aba Shanti-I will prime the room for a 9 hour multi-genre journey from earth shaking bass music through to razor sharp techno.

Next door, the Steam Room will be the centre of dancefloor euphoria from the word go. Be sure to catch a very special b2b from Nene H and THC, who’ll team up for an unconventional, Latin-inspired session that’s sure to make you sweat.

Our shared beliefs will make for a night where music and design will converge in a memory that will linger long after the sun rises. Together we’ll reimagine FOLD into a new realm of audiovisual experimentation.

Trust us on this one – you don’t want to miss it.

On the 18th of May we return to Experience Island for an intimate gathering. This year we are curating something special in collaboration with our friends from New York’s Sustain-Release festival. As they traditionally host their festival every September, collaboration during the festival has been elusive until now. This May, we’re finally able to co-create an unforgettable day at the lake together!

Taking place on two stages, Draaimolen Island x Sustain-Release will highlight the fun that music can unleash. Expect both stages to be full of adventurous and eclectic sounds with an undercurrent of solid and soulful rhythms. Unconventional DJ sets on the beach and a buzzing dance floor on the terrace, we can’t think of a better way to start the summer.

Our line up for Draaimolen Island x Sustain-Release will be announced soon! In the meantime, make sure you get your tickets as there’s only a very limited capacity for this special event.

Party

Draaimolen Festival 2022 will cover two days, taking place on Friday September 9th and Saturday September 10th in the woods of our beloved MOB Complex.

Ever since the beginning of Draaimolen Festival, we’ve focussed on an aesthetic cohesion of electronic music, art installations and stage designs, while letting the nature that surrounds it guide the overall experience. We keep doing this in 2022 but with a program twice as long and twice as beautiful. These two days will be filled with the familiar Draaimolen features, such as the unexpected b2b’s, brand new stage hostings next to the return of some old friends, special live performances and our annual secret b2b, whilst more adventures and site-specific collaborations are in the making…

As Draaimolen Festival covers two days this year, we arranged a camping site in collaboration with Stadscamping Tilburg. All information on our camping can be found in our FAQ.

Hopefully, we’ll see you at the very first Draaimolen weekend ❤

guestList

Draaimolen is a dynamic event organization from Tilburg that explores the relationship between music and visual arts, and with its endeavors strives to blur the boundaries separating the two.

Since 2012, we have been organizing several indoor- and outdoor events each year such as our free-of-charge Holy Pink event, celebrating love and inclusiveness during Pink Monday, yearly Draaimolen x Nous’klaer gathering at Experience Island, multiple club nights and, of course, the annual Draaimolen Festival in September.

With every event, we take new challenges and risks, aim high and bring new projects and exciting collaborations to the table. By giving room to experiment for both young talents and established artists, we let them visually interpret what we stand for. Together, we transform spaces into unique experiences. As well as spotlighting emerging talents and inviting some of our favorite electronic music luminaries to our events, Draaimolen also commissions new live shows and art projects, while encouraging cross-border collaborations with organizations sharing our values at the same time. Having teamed up with Giegling (DE), Smoke Machine (TW) and Freerotation (UK) in the past, we always leave our doors open for new inspiring and thought-provoking visions.
