The organisers of Draaimolen have confirmed that the 2026 edition will go ahead, following earlier concerns about the festival’s future. The MOB-complex in Tilburg will remain its home for the time being, according to a statement shared on Instagram.
“It means a lot to have so many people expressing their belief in what we do. The news still feels unreal, but we’re beyond relieved and excited to share that the MOB-complex will remain our home for the time being,” the Draaimolen team wrote yesterday (19th November). “We are super grateful for the love you have shown us. Without your support, we could not have reached this moment as it was a true wake-up call for politicians to re-open conversations and change directions.”
Event details:
- Date: 4th and 5th September 2026
- Exclusive 24-hour ticket presale: Wednesday, 26th November (for attendees 2022–2024)
- General ticket sales: Wednesday, 3rd December
Background: A petition in September urged local authorities to allow the festival to continue at Tilburg’s MOB-complex after officials indicated the site would no longer be available. The organizers warned that without an alternative location, Draaimolen would cease to exist.
Further context from local reporting notes that the MOB-complex has been the festival’s home since 2019, and that the province owns the area and previously stated it should not become a permanent festival site. The Tilburg municipality and the organizers indicated that finding another location would not be feasible.
Impact and commitments: The team emphasizes Draaimolen will remain a fully independent organization. 2026 will feature more acts and a stronger fusion of music, art, and the forest setting than in prior years.
“We are super grateful for the love you have shown us. It means a lot to have so many people expressing their belief in what we do.”
Summary: After a period of uncertainty, Draaimolen confirms continued operation through 2028 at its traditional MOB-complex venue, with ticketing details released for 2026 and plans to expand artistic programming within the festival’s forested environment.
