Here below are my 5 favorite concerts I have ever seen on the Lowlands Festival. I visited 10 editions of the greatest festival of Holland!

1. Michael Franti 2006
2. Chemical Brothers 1999
3. Manu Chao 2003
4. Limp Bizkit 2001
5. MGMT 2008

Of course you don’t have to agree with that, it were for several reasons just my personal 5 favorites!

I’m Stephan and I know Lowlands since 1994. I’ve been there 8 years in a row, but missed it since 2001. 2009 is going to be my comeback!
I discovered this festival in 1993, the first edition. I didn’t went because I didn’t want to go alone.
A year later I had a summer of festivals. It started on the first friday of May at the Moulin Blues festival in Ospel, NL and I chose A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise as the end of my tour.
As a built up to one of the best festivals I ever visited, I’m going to tell you the history of this massive event. It will be a mix of facts and personal memories.
As we creeping closer to L-Day at 21 August, I would give my comments on the line-up; as would I give you some names I would like to see there.
I will leave you with the reason why I din’t attend it for 8 years:
Lowlands was for me the breedingpond for new music & arts. It was all about discovering & enyoing. As the fesitval went bigger and bigger; the names became bigger and there was less room for new artists. Also the height of a near 70,000 people was too much…They hit the roof and after 2001 there was a set back of visitors, now slowly building up again to be a sold-out event.
When you’re reading my up-coming posts then you’ll understand all of this
