De Weide 2026

With a highly memorable 15+ year history of hosting outstanding events in the inner city of Alkmaar, the creative minds behind 3Gram now look outward and have found new lands where they can break ground. On the outskirts of town at a mere 10 minutes away from Alkmaar's citycentre, lies De Weide. A place that is rich in light, dripping in nature and oozing with the type of freedom we have long had to miss. De Weide is where imposing trees, a monument status barn and a babbling brook will merge with modular synthesizers, enchanting basslines and pioneering beats. The sprawling festival ground offers five intimate areas, one outdoor stage at the foot of the trees with a capacity of 400+, a outdoor stage by the water with a capacity of 300, a stage in the monumental barn with a capacity of 200, a live jam stage in the field in front of the barn and a stage hidden behind the farm in a ravey and sweaty container hosting only 50 people. The line-up consists of a combination of DJ’s and (electronic) live acts fostering off the wall collaborations. We strive to book cutting-edge performances from established and emerging artists that push the musical envelope, giving them the podium they deserve. To this backdrop we offer a platform that encourages artistic expression while maintaining the high standards of hospitality that our crowd expect from us. Bringing together like-minded people for a unique experience in a intimate celebration of electronic music.
