Heated tents, cross a little cold

Thuishaven runs day and night on the western edge. In October the stages are indoors in heated tents and a hangar, so the outdoor-in-the-cold fear is overblown, but you cross open ground between stages, so bring a layer. Metro to Isolatorweg then about 5 minutes on foot.

Tickets unlock 48 hours out

Download your ticket from the order confirmation 48 hours before the show. Tickets are sealed until then, and Ticketswap is the only safe resale route.

Day and night are separate

Buy a separate ticket if you want both shows. A day ticket is only valid for the day show, and every night show runs in De Loods.

Plan your ride home

Leave before about 00:00 if you want the metro from Isolatorweg. After that, night bus N81 runs hourly from Contactweg to Sloterdijk and Centraal.
