The four internships and what to expect there
The Main Stage is the beating heart of Kingsland. Urban, pop and Dutch hits come together here, with acts like Roxy Dekker, SFB, Bankzitters, Ronnie Flex, Lil Kleine and Russo. Frenna, Jonna Fraser, Bilal Wahib, Boef, Idaly and Trobi are also on the Amsterdam lineup. This is the stage for sing-alongs, TikTok hits and audiences who know every chorus.
Royal Kith by New Kith focuses on urban, R&B and hip-hop in an intimate atmosphere. With acts like Monica Geuze, Bokoesam, Rijck and Lies Zhara, this is the stage for those a little deeper into the Dutch urban circuit. Surprising b2b sets and performances you won't see elsewhere.
The Hard Court is new this year and bigger than ever. Rebelion, Warface and The Saints are on the hardstyle lineup, with heavy lasers, light rigs and pyro. The stage will receive substantial upgrades from previous editions in 2026.
Red Bull King Vibes brings club-oriented electronic music with continuous b2b sets - the stage for those who want to hear something different between the urban and hardstyle blocks.
Olympic Stadium as a venue
Kingsland was at the RAI last year, but returns to the Olympic Stadium this year. The stadium and surrounding grounds give the festival its character: large outdoor stages, plenty of space between stages and a site compact enough to reach everything. The Olympic Stadium is not a neutral festival venue - the building is part of the experience.
Kingsland is the largest one-day music festival in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, that amounts to tens of thousands of visitors in one day, on one site, all in orange.
Practical
Minimum age is 18. Come by public transportation - Kings Day near the Olympic Stadium is a logistical nightmare by car.
