DGTL Amsterdam 2027: dates, tickets & what to know

DGTL 2027 at a glance

DGTL is Amsterdam's design-led house and techno festival, staged on the raw industrial waterfront of NDSM Docklands on the city's north bank. The 2026 edition has already taken place; the next edition runs Friday 26 – Sunday 28 March 2027, again over the Easter weekend. Always confirm on the official site.

What sets DGTL apart isn't just the music — a forward-thinking electro/house/techno bill across multiple stages with large-scale light art — it's the circular, zero-waste mission: the entire food programme is plant-based and the festival is built to send (almost) nothing to landfill. It is a genuinely different festival experience.

Line-up

The 2027 line-up is not yet announced; it typically drops in stages from late in the year before. For a sense of the booking, the 2026 edition featured names like Armand Van Helden, Joy Orbison, Jayda G, CamelPhat and Âme across electro, house and techno (2026 — indicative only, not the 2027 bill). Check the official line-up page once it's published.

Tickets & how foreigners buy

2027 tickets go on sale toward the end of 2026 — prices and tiers (single-day and weekend) are confirmed at on-sale, so check the official site for current numbers rather than trusting any third party. A few rules that matter for visitors:

• Buy only from the official site (or its official resale partner, TicketSwap, capped at ±20% of face value). Avoid touts.
• Bring physical government-issued ID. Your digital ticket is scanned together with your passport or licence at entry to receive your wristband — strictly 18+.
• The whole site is cashless. Pay by debit/credit card or phone (Apple Pay) at the bars; top-up stations on site exchange cash for festival credit if you need it.

Getting there

NDSM is across the IJ on Amsterdam's north bank. The easy, scenic route is the free GVB ferry from behind Centraal Station to NDSM Werf (about 15 minutes), which runs frequently — it's the most-used way in and out. Stay central and you're a short ferry ride away.
