On Liberation Day, Lofi will do what it always does: throw open the doors and run for nine hours. Liberté Liberté will be back at the former GVB bus garage on Basisweg on May 5, 2026, from two in the afternoon until 11 in the evening. Nine hours of festival, two stages, and a lineup of nine acts. It is one of the few festivals in the city deliberately programmed on National Day off - not as an afterthought, but as the main focus of the day.
The names on the 2026 bill are a mix of familiar faces and newer acts. The Flexican is on the list, as is Lisa Korver - two names you'll see at self-respecting Amsterdam parties all the time. Also spinning are Angelboy, Cromby, DART, Dj Babatr, ISAbella, LAMMER and Miguel De Bois. No single headliner standing out above the rest, no star appeal - just a lineup of nine acts that together fill the Courtyard and the Colorfloor from noon to night.
Liberté Liberté is an annual festival deliberately held on Liberation Day. The theme of freedom is not meant to be decorative: the organization links the national commemoration date to the underground club culture that Lofi aims to defend. The club was founded with the goal of breathing new life into that free underground scene, and a daytime festival on May 5 fits right in. You don't celebrate freedom in a neat venue. Tickets are available through ZeeZout and Follow the Beat, which is also acting as promoter.
You don't celebrate freedom in a neat room - Lofi opens its doors for nine hours on May 5.
The Basisweg is not a downtown area, but for this kind of festival, that works in its favor. The former GVB bus garage has the space that a regular club does not: an outdoor area big enough to put a stage, an indoor space industrial enough not to feel fake. Lofi is not a decorative venue - it's a place that takes music seriously. Liberté Liberté fits right in with that. Two sides of the same idea, one day on the Basisweg.
