365 euros is a lotta cash for this. Plenty of good names though.

Yeah where are they justifying that cost?

It includes camping and a shuttle bus. Pinkpop is 305 euros, BKS cost 309 euros, DTRH is 329 euros so i guess this is now the standard price for the festival circiut in the Netherlands. Still 30-40 euros more than the competition though.

Yeah depth is pretty good without having many really big hitters.  Certainly a few names I’m hoping crossover to Werchter though

This + Lowlands always invests a lot of resources into non-music stuff and to make the grounds very festive and colorful. Similar to what Glasto does. Plus, the fest goes on all night as well.

 

But it's obviously not cheap and in 2023 it was only 300 euros, so these annual increases are crazy.

Looking at going for the first time. How does it compare with Sziget for example? The music is much deeper and varied for my taste at lowlands but is there much in terms of stuff to do and see aside from that?

Yes, though most non-music stuff like theatre and comedy are in Dutch. But look at the Clashfinders from prior years as a reference. There's also all sorts of vlogs on Youtube that will give you a taste of the site.
