Welcome to the 12th edition of Lentekabinet, your big spring adventure and the bright kick-off of another promising season. Dekmantel’s annual festival touches down just north of Amsterdam, on the lush grounds of Het Twiske. It’s a two-day affair where you can reunite and reconnect: with music, with the arts, with nature and—through all of the above—with each other.

Lentekabinet 2025 is all about stepping off the beaten track, nurturing creativity and connection, and playfully platforming cross-cultural stories. Its stages cast a fresh spotlight on music and the visual/performing arts, on local tastemakers and global acts, on fringe talent and established names, on DJ culture and live sounds. This year’s program builds on the sensory festival areas that were introduced in 2024, co-hosted by the collectives that fuel Amsterdam’s creative club realms, including kanaal40 and Job Jobse’s Strangelove.

Zooming in on the musical curation for 2025, you’ll find global icons like Helena Hauff, Antal & Ron Trent, UNIIQU3, The Blessed Madonna, Midland & Peach and Jyoty & Cinnaman sharing space with local talent like Rozaly, Sarkawt Hamad, and Torus. Plus, we’re excited to debut a brand-new stage dedicated entirely to live acts, with performances from ZEP, Parker Fans, Ploegendienst, Lander & Adriaan, and Devon Rexi.

Ticket sales for Lentekabinet ’25 will start on Tuesday, November 26th, for pre-registered guests. General ticket sales start on Wednesday, November 27th. The complete arts program will be unveiled at the beginning of 2025.

Ready to let the sun back in? We can’t wait to see you in Het Twiske. ♥
