Since 2012, the Spring Cabinet festival has taken place on the open fields of Het Twiske, just north of Amsterdam in Oostzaan. The location offers a green, natural environment that is central to the experience. The festival lasts for two days and coincides with Pentecost, giving the event a recognizable place in spring.
The concept behind Spring Cabinet is clear: a genre-transcending outdoor sound experience that blends music, spring and nature. It is a precursor to the larger Dekmantel Festival, showcasing a sophisticated and eclectic selection of electronic music. Programming changes annually, and for 2026 BASHKKA, PARAMIDA, tINI, Call Super, Seth Troxler, CCL and Verraco, among others, have been confirmed, guaranteeing a mix of local and international artists.
It is organized by Dekmantel, a package known for its focus on quality electronic music. Through this connection, Spring Cabinet maintains a strong connection to the Amsterdam electronic music scene and attracts visitors from both home and abroad.

The special thing about Spring Cabinet is the combination of the spatial, natural setting with a carefully curated lineup. It does not feel like a standard festival meadow, but rather a place where you loosen up in a green environment with attention to music and atmosphere. This makes the festival a valued start to the summer season for lovers of electronic sounds.
