Rebirth Festival 2027 – Haaren, Netherlands

Overview

Rebirth Festival, stylized as REBiRTH Festival, is the traditional kick off of the harder styles festival season in the Netherlands, held in Haaren between Tilburg and ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The festival takes place on the festival grounds at the Antwerpsebaan in Helvoirt, located in Haaren, and has become known as the ultimate start of the festival season for fans of hardstyle, rawstyle, hardcore, uptempo, and classics. More than 50,000 ravers are expected to come together to celebrate the start of the season, with a program representing all corners of the harder styles spectrum.
