Bospop Festival in the Netherlands ramps up construction ahead of July 10 opening

The three‑day Bospop music festival is preparing its site on the Riviereweg in the Netherlands as the opening day on 10 July 2026 approaches. Hundreds of metres of fencing and two large festival tents – the Harley‑Davidson Tentstage (formerly Tentstage) and the Nocturna – have been erected, and the foundation for the main stage is taking shape. Smaller tent structures, artist areas, a new “Lounge 1981” and the iconic round mirror tent for a specialty beer bar are already in place.

Traffic measures have been introduced, with several roads around the venue closed and the Eindhovenseweg between Ringbaan Noord and the A2 shut from 6 July to 14 July for safety and access. The 2026 line‑up features acts such as Within Temptation, Volbeat, Lenny Kravitz, ZZ Top, Anouk, Counting Crows and Kaiser Chiefs. A unique Rolling Stones listening session will be held on 10 July in the Nocturna, showcasing the band’s new album “Foreign Tongues” for ticket‑holding campers.

The festival site will open to the public at 13:00 on 10 July, with camping available from the afternoon of 9 July.
