Welcome to the Future 2020 will take place on the green hills of Het Twiske. We’re proud to call this beautiful foresty area near Amsterdam, filled with secret chill-out spots and plenty of space to dance, our home since 14 years!

Several House- and Techno-inspired stages are scattered around the green hills and forests of our festival paradise. You can check out our full line up here!

We have a wide range of food types available, including the classic snack menu, burgers, pizza, salads, soups, waffles, sandwiches, fruit, smoothies, gluten free, low carb, vegan, or lactose-free and a lot more!

We all love good sound quality, that’s why all of the stages are fully equipped with state of the art Funktion-One systems.

Welcome to the Future is a festival for adults (18+). Make sure to bring your ID.

Lockers are available from January 21st, 12h. Every locker fits up to three coats, you can find them right near the entrance.

Dutch law strictly forbids smoking in festival tents. Thank you for not smoking in all tents and other ‘no-smoking’ signed areas.

We’re taking measures to make the terrain and all stages accessible to wheelchairs. Our personnel will be there to assist you if help is needed. Still, please be aware that Het Twiske is hilly terrain with partly sandy ground.

Never give up on your cup! This summer, we’re innovating waste management on our festival terrain! Together with our friends from Coca-Cola, Heineken and Beelen Event Services, we’re introducing a new system enabling us to improve our waste separation. Brand new recycle bins, pro-active education of our crew and guests as well new recycling technologies will enable us to recycle 50% of all our plastic in order to create new plastic cups from the old ones.

Want to participate? Register now for our Green Team via: volunteer@welcometothefuture.nl

Our delicious Dutch tap water belongs to all of us and therefore we are very happy to offer it to all of our Wanderers, for free. At Welcome to the Future, you will find the water bars everywhere and you can fill your cup or bottle up for free.

Our water is not only very tasty but this way we also save a lot of plastic. Cheers!

Together with the non-profit organization of 10,000 HOURS, we invite our visitors to the annual Welcome to the Future volunteer days. Since 2010, more than 30,000 hours of voluntary work have been donated and that total continues to grow. Together with other festivals, DJ’s and volunteers, the foundation supports different voluntary projects aimed at the most vulnerable people in our society. For more information, visit www.10000HOURS.nl.

By joining forces and working with the Foundation 10,000 HOURS, we want to encourage dance lovers to do more volunteer work within our community.

Because together we can make a difference!

We feel honoured to have the opportunity to return to the lush and green surroundings of Het Twiske year after year. This is why we leave no trace on our festival grounds, meaning that we collect every single cup and cigarette bud after the festival, leaving the terrain almost untouched!

Every year, our hard-working volunteers in green make sure that our festival grounds remain perfectly clean, in the true spirit of our leave-no-trace policy. Would you like to participate as a Green Team volunteer? Please send an e-mail to volunteer@welcometothefuture.nl

On July 25th, shuttle buses operate between Amsterdam Sloterdijk train station and Welcome to the Future all day long. The first buses depart at 11:30. After the end of the festival, buses will continue driving to Amsterdam Sloterdijk until the last visitor has left the terrain.

The route in Het Twiske will, therefore, be mostly free of other festival traffic, and buses will always be given priority over cars.

For your return trip back to Sloterdijk, keep in mind that there might be a minimum waiting time of 30 minutes at the bus stop.

Parking tickets are available in the online ticket shop (until July 19th) at: https://tickets.welcometothefuture.nl/ or at the parking lot on the day of the event.

Once in the surrounding of the festival terrain, please always follow the dedicated festival signing and instructions of our ground staff. Depending on the traffic situation, our logistics staff and LED signs will always guide you through the fastest route. In some cases, this might feel like a small detour, but don’t worry, the alternative route will optimize your travel time. All parking lots are located in Het Twiske (no external parking).

We advise you to arrive early (before 14:00) if you want to reduce waiting times during arrival. Like with all large events, please take waiting times of minimum of 1 hour into consideration when leaving the festival after 00:00.

We work together with several organisations that offer bus services with pick-up locations throughout the Netherlands. Head over to www.eventtravel.nl or www.partybussen.nl to find a pick up point near your home.

The Uber pick-up point is located outside of Het Twiske. Please keep in mind that waiting times increase after the end of the festival. When leaving the festival, follow the ‘Uber’ signs to find your driver quickly at the special Uber pick-up point. The Uber app will guide you towards this pick-up point as well.

The taxi pick-up point is located outside of Het Twiske, at a different location than the Uber pick-up point. We discourage you to take a taxi, as waiting times and prices are unpredictable. In previous years we’ve learned that our capacity for taxi’s is insufficient, therefore, we advise you to use other means of transportation like our shuttle bus service.

The Kiss & Ride pick-up point is located outside of Het Twiske. Please keep in mind that it’s a 25-minute walk to the festival terrain.
