 Derrick May The festival will once again be held at the organisation's anchored location at the Stadsblokken in Arnhem. This unique site next to the river contains pretty much everything a festival needs: sand, water, and a bridge that sees curious people looking down at the party frenzy below. Free Your Mind is infamous for its playful atmosphere and is nationally known as "the festival of the smiling people". Each year, the festival succeeds to create a unique vibe among the visitors, making it an annual must-visit for all electronic music fanatics.
With this edition hosting no less than seven stages, there will be plenty of exciting gigs to choose from. The three anchored tents will be hosted by Planet Rose, Great Electronic Beats and Sound of Love, while Mono will spread their unique and innovative sound under the John Frost bridge. The notorious Gasten Zonder Grenzen posse will host a remarkable semi-open greenhouse and all you DJ talents can have a spin or two at the Love2Party DJ Talent room (signup required). The main stage will once again be presented by FCA's own Rockit concept.
Next to headliners such as Derrick May, Speedy J, Josh Wink and Joey Beltram, Free Your Mind also hosts the stars of tomorrow such as Cocoon protégé Raresh for example, and Dutch talents Polder (David Labeij and Lauhaus) who just released their album. With 50 artists covering genres stretching from techno to house and minimal, the festival season is about to kick-start with a blast.
Tickets are for sale at Ticketbox and the organisation's website and cost EUR 40,-.
