Loveland Festival

Loveland Festival's story is more than just music. Founded in 1995, it emerged from a desire to challenge negative views of house music. Marnix Bal, the founder, cleverly disguised the first event as a charity for safe sex education, combining his love of house with a "swim and dance" party. This social responsibility has remained a core value.

Loveland's success led to its expansion in 2005. A separate Loveland Festival emerged, focusing on a broader range of electronic music with impressive lineups. This solidified Loveland's place as a major player in Dutch electronic music.

Another Loveland event, originally called Loveland Queensday, became a national celebration. It marked the Dutch holiday with energetic techno and house music. Reflecting a national shift, the event's name changed to Loveland van Oranje in 2013.

Today, both Loveland Festival and Loveland van Oranje are leaders in the Dutch electronic music scene. They attract world-famous DJs and international audiences, all while staying true to their roots: celebrating music, social impact, and being at the forefront of electronic music culture.

Explore The Underground Techno Scene

Lose yourself in the pulsating rhythm. Feel the driving beats course through you, a primal energy that ignites your soul. Explore the electrifying world of techno music and events, where the dance floor becomes a canvas and the music paints a vibrant world of sound.

Forget flashy facades. Underground techno thrives in unconventional spaces - converted warehouses, abandoned factories, even secret basements. Finding these hidden gems can be an adventure itself. Look for local flyers tucked away in record stores or follow cryptic social media posts with techno-inspired graphics and minimal information.

The underground scene isn't about exclusivity, but about a shared passion. Strike up conversations with fellow attendees. Promoters are often passionate DJs themself, and they'll be happy to point you towards other hidden gems. Respect the unwritten rules - arrive on time, silence your phone, and most importantly, lose yourself in the music.
