A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, mostly just known as Lowlands, is an annual three-day music and performing arts festival, held in the Netherlands in August since 1993. Lowlands is attended by around 55,000 visitors, spread over 200 acts and more than ten stages every year. The majority of stages are inside huge tents - insurance against the Netherlands climate - with the main stage's tent, Alpha, being approximately the size of a regulation football pitch. The festival is held 68 kilometres (42 mi) east of Amsterdam in Biddinghuizen, Flevoland province. The visitors to this multi-day festival usually stay in tents during the nights.
