Free Your Mind and Oranjebloesem are jointly organizing the biggest Kings Day rave of the year, and they're doing it in a place that suits them: the RAI. Not a small club or a square in the park, but a full-fledged event venue in the Rivierenbuurt where multiple stages run side by side. The date is April 27, 2026, and the party runs until 10 p.m. The latter is a deliberate choice: most King's Day events are losing steam around late afternoon, while this is one that just keeps on thinking.
The lineup for this joint edition features a handful of solid names. Reinier Zonneveld, Malugi and Aat are scheduled, as are AEREA and Alfred Heinrichs. Furthermore, Davyboi, Michel de Hey, Easttown and Fantasm will be throwing up records.
The RAI is large enough that the multiple stage principle really works. Those who want to catch a set from one artist and switch to another venue halfway through can simply do so. That fact, combined with the lead time into the evening, makes this a different kind of King's Day experience than the offerings on the streets and in the parks. Orange Blossom brings its own constituency, Free Your Mind its own. Two established names in the Dutch underground, one event.
Two established names in the Dutch underground, one event: that is exactly what Koningsdag 2026 needs.
The RAI is located in the Rivierenbuurt and is easily accessible. Kings Day has plenty on offer for people who stick to a few beers on the water. Free Your Mind and Oranjebloesem are aiming at the people who want to go on for a night afterwards, and they do it well. Two established names in the Dutch underground, one event: that's exactly what Koningsdag 2026 needs.
