Dear friends,

This doesn’t come easy but we are very sorry to inform you that Nous’klaer Festival 2026 will not take place. We were informed by the municipality that our permit has been withdrawn.

Due to the ongoing pressure on healthcare services, and the potential for further pressure tomorrow due to the heat, all events of our permit scale have been cancelled in Rotterdam on Saturday, June 27.

Nevertheless, this is devastating news for everyone involved. For months, our crew, artists, volunteers, partners, and community have worked hard and looked forward to this moment. We know how much you were looking forward to it too, and we are very sorry to have to tell you this.

We hope you can give us a moment to process this news. Everyone holding a daytime festival ticket will receive an email as soon as possible with further information regarding ticket refunds and the next steps.

The festival’s night program tomorrow at Club export and Cult=us is still going ahead. We are looking into options to expand that. More info soon.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and your continued support. Take care of yourselves and each other.

We will be back.

With much love,
Team Nous’klaer
