Event Experience

Wildeburg Festival hidden amongst beautiful bamboo-covered nature reserve in Kraggenburg had all good things. After nearly 29 years, selection criteria for partying sees attendees at less crap club nights and at more carefully considered events which match music taste and mood.

Unlike most Dutch festivals, Wildeburg offered 24 hours of music in what would normally be suffocating permit policy and strict midnight finish. We camped for full three-days on premises also rare for Netherlands, and brought own alcohol and food almost unheard of.

Walking around festival grounds separated us from civilisation, both because we were completely mesmerised and completely lost. Beyond standard glitter-and-hippy garb, this was really special: we found ourselves crawling through doors in bamboo to reach secret forested living rooms hidden behind trees. We chased bright wildflower patches across bridges to discover lake beaches dominated by wooden stage fortresses, windmills, boat sails and floating plastic flamingos.

Music played on creating separate stories of sound and within wider world of Wildeburg, from Algerian rock band Imarhan, and house with Detroit Swindle, to pockets of hip-hop and jazz, disco and reggae.

On Sunday day ticket holders arrived with fresh energy, and we rose further into parallel world of new friends, great music and tent-made gin cocktails. People smiled, slept, spoke freely to strangers, and it all added something to strange paradise.

It wasn’t best lineup ever seen, but it was best festival ever been to. Maybe there’s something to be said for balance when you’re at events like this as well as anywhere else: incredible setlists but not so great that they imprison you from exploring surroundings, fun people but not so clingy that they restrain you from solo stage hopping, creative stage design but not so OTT that they drown natural environment with synthetics.

Follow rainbow through dunes to pot of gold we call Wildeburg.

Jennifer Cardini was Friday highlight in small hours as refreshing on decks with selection of dark techno anthems, as refreshing in interview discussing inequality in music industry. Robag Wruhme came up with sun losing none of subtle quirks and full-bodied melodies but with added aura of happiness crowning him spirit animal, audience running full age-spectrum bouncing around wild other-world.

People smiled, slept, spoke freely to strangers, and it all added something to strange paradise. Sure some people were so high that they needed to eat their weight in magnesium and reconfigure eyeball-to-socket ratio, but everyone was having good time with no sense of self-destructive zombie apocalypse you get at many electronic music festivals.

Balance of incredible setlists not imprisoning from exploring surroundings, fun people not clingy restraining solo stage hopping, creative stage design not OTT drowning natural environment with synthetics.
