The story

DGTL Amsterdam in Amsterdam

DGTL is an electronic music festival held each spring at NDSM Docklands in Amsterdam, running since 2013. Known for pairing international electronic artists with an ambitious sustainability program, DGTL became a fully circular festival by 2022, using plant-based catering, circular water systems and renewable energy alongside its music and art programming.

Since 2013, the former shipyard grounds of NDSM Docklands, across the water from central Amsterdam, have hosted DGTL each spring, a festival that set out from its earliest editions to pair serious electronic music programming with an unusually strong commitment to sustainable production.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

02

The mystery stays covered

03

The city starts moving

Musically, the festival has consistently booked leading names in techno and house alongside next-generation talent, and its success in Amsterdam has led to international spin-off editions in cities across multiple continents, extending the DGTL name well beyond its Dutch origins
