3. Lineup

The full lineup for DGTL Amsterdam 2027 hasn't been announced yet. DGTL typically releases artists in waves — the first announcement usually drops in autumn of the year before.

  • Follow @dgtlfestival on Instagram for announcements
  • Past headliners have included Bicep, Charlotte de Witte, Adam Beyer, Peggy Gou and Richie Hawtin
  • DGTL focuses on electronic and techno — expect artists from across the full spectrum from house to hard techno

4. NDSM Docklands — the venue

The NDSM Docklands aren't just a backdrop — they're a big part of what makes DGTL special. A former shipyard in Amsterdam Noord, the site operated from 1946 to 1979 and has since become one of the most creative spaces in the city. DGTL uses the raw industrial architecture — old warehouses, dry docks, container yards — as stages and spaces, making it feel unlike any festival in a field.

  • Located across the IJ river from Amsterdam Central Station
  • Accessible by free GVB ferry — about 15 minutes from Central Station
  • The NDSM hall alone is 20,000 square metres

The site has evolved significantly year on year. DGTL 2026 featured a 160m² LED installation — expect the 2027 edition to push production further again.

5. Sustainability — what sets DGTL apart

DGTL has been calling itself the world's most sustainable electronic music festival for years — and it backs that claim up. Sustainability at DGTL isn't a PR exercise; it's built into how the festival operates across five areas: resources, energy, mobility, sanitation and food.

  • Food: all food at the festival is plant-based and biologically produced
  • Energy: 100% renewable energy sources — no diesel generators
  • Water: free tap water available at all toilet areas; circular water solutions on site
  • Waste: zero single-use items — no plastic water bottles, balloons or inflatables allowed
  • Mobility: no dedicated car parking; festival actively promotes ferry, bike and bus travel

It's one of the few festivals where the environmental commitment is genuinely felt on the ground — not just in the programme notes.

6. Getting to NDSM from Amsterdam

The NDSM Docklands are across the IJ from central Amsterdam — but getting there is easy and part of the experience.

  • Ferry: free GVB ferry from behind Amsterdam Central Station — around 15 minutes to NDSM. DGTL runs extra ferries during the festival. Check live times at pontveer.nl
  • Bike: take the ferry to Buiksloterweg and cycle from there — DGTL's recommended option
  • Bus: packages from across the Netherlands via Partybussen — bookable when buying tickets
  • Uber / taxi: drop-off point at Ms. Tarnweg. No parking on site

If you're attending the night programme, check the last ferry times before you head in — waiting times increase significantly after the event ends.

7. Where to stay for DGTL Amsterdam 2027

Amsterdam fills up fast around DGTL weekend. Staying central is the smart move — you're a short ferry ride from the NDSM Docklands, and you've got the whole city on your doorstep for the days around the festival.

  • Generator Amsterdam is centrally located and well-connected to Amsterdam Central Station — from there, the DGTL ferry is 15 minutes away
  • Book early — accommodation around festival weekends in Amsterdam sells out fast
