Practical info
When and where will Draaimolen Festival 2026 take place?
Draaimolen Festival 2026 will take place on Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th. The MOB Complex is located at IJpelareweg 55, 5048 TA Tilburg, Netherlands. On both Friday and Saturday, our festival site opens at 12:00h CET and closes at 00:30h CET.
What facilities are available on site?
We are committed to making your festival experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Our facilities are designed for convenience and affordability. Lockers, toilets, food stalls, and token machines are all available on site. We also provide a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. For any specific dietary questions, you can reach us at info@draaimolen.nu.
Your safety and well-being are a priority. A social safety hub is available on site. Details about our facilities, including token and locker prices, will be updated on this page throughout the year.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Bringing your own food and drinks is not allowed on the festival grounds. If you have a special dietary requirement, please ensure your food is in its original packaging and inform us in advance at info@draaimolen.nu.
How does the recycle token work?
We use a recycling system to make recycling plastic easy. Upon arrival, everyone receives a recycling token, which has no monetary value.
At the bar, you can exchange your token for a cup. If you lose your cup or token, a replacement costs 0.5 token. Once you’re done with your cup, return it to a bar to either get a new drink or reclaim a recycling token.
Thank you for helping us recycle and keeping the festival grounds clean!
Can I bring a camera?
To make sure everyone feels free and safe in the forest, cameras are not allowed. This helps keep the space comfortable for everyone and ensures the focus stays on enjoying the music and dancing without distractions.
Lost & Found
Please e-mail lostandfound@draaimolen.nu if you lost something at our festival site.
Found something? Give it to our staff at the bar or bring it to our merchandise stand.

The main reason we use ‘Sealed Tickets’ is that it’s a safer way to sell and buy tickets and to prevent ticket fraud.

I added Refund Protection to my order. How do I claim it if I cannot attend the festival?
Every visitor who closes the refund protection will receive a separate email (in addition to the confirmation email from Weeztix) with further information from Xcover Booking Refund. A booking protection info block is also displayed on your order page. Through here you can claim your refund.
Festival Camping
Will there be a camping organized by Draaimolen?
For the last three years we had to move our campsite every year to a different location due to permit difficulties. We keep on trying to find a stable suitable location together with the municipality, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it this year and we want to be transparent about this. Please note that we do our utmost best and will keep you updated throughout the process.
