Showy Lady Slipper
Richard Maxwell
Holland Festival started the new millennium with a bold vision of the times. Major developments in electronic music were showcased in Electronic Soundwaves, with pioneers like Edwin van der Heide, Florentijn Boddendijk and Ryoji Ikeda. There was a large programme around the top tier of theatre from the lowlands, with makers and companies like Les Ballets C. de la B., Luk Perceval, TG Stan and Trust. The festival also looked back at the past century, with a large programme around musical innovator Frank Zappa.

Welcome to the Holland Festival archive! The history of our festival dates back to 1947. Through the programs of each festival edition we aim to tell this history here. Currently our archive has been digitised from 1990 onwards, more history is to follow soon. Sadly some information is only available in Dutch but we aim to be as bilingual as possible.
