Kraak Festival

Exactly one week before spring blows into being, the moment for pre-vernal gatherings arises for the adventurous sound seeker in you. Indeed: warmer winds spell the yearly return of KRAAK Fest! Settling back into the riverside groves of Het Bos for the sixth time, the 2026 edition of KRAAK's namesake festival brings its trademark left-field jumble of sensatory oddities and wonders: this time, TV static noise, blown-up organ choirs, layered nature operas, cultish folk, warped hip hop dub, melancholic reel-to-reelness and unrepressed jams of many flavors give heft to another intrepid excursion into this little island of wonder. Join us on the riverside for this one-day ride, from noon till the near dusk when the last notes waft into the starlight.
