One of Europe’s longest-running music festivals has taken top honors at this year’s European Festival Awards. Lowlands has been named Best Major Festival for 2025, recognizing its scale, programming, and continued impact on the live music circuit.
Held annually in the Netherlands, Lowlands has built a reputation for genre-spanning lineups that bring together rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop, and alternative acts. The festival also places strong emphasis on visual art, culture, and sustainability, positioning itself as more than a traditional music event.
The award was presented during the European Festival Awards, where winners are selected through a mix of public voting and industry input. The category included several major European festivals, highlighting the competitive landscape for large-scale events.
