Not a festival in a sunny meadow with frosty beer in hand, but a world tour where you actually visit the homes of many artists, DJs, designers, chefs… besides house toursWith all kinds of IKEA items in the spotlight, of course, the IKEA Festival has plenty in store.

Anyway, the concept already promises a lot of good, but the festival lineup is promising too. Listen to intimate house concerts and live DJ sets from Masego and DJ Kaytranada, among others. You can also (almost) look inside the studio of well-known designers, such as Ilse Crawford and Virgil Abloh. And from our country there are some names of the party that will lead the festival in the right direction. For example, YouTuber and radio host Average Rob will visit four homes between 9am and 6pm.

What homes you visit, who you cook with, or the music you listen to, is entirely in your hands, because you can choose from no less than ten different “rooms” throughout the day.
