Programme:

14:00 | Square: Toeters & Bellen
We kick off the afternoon with a festive welcome full of noise, music and cheerful chaos.

16:00 | Blue Field Stage: Murkinbone
Murkinbone plays melodic alternative rock packed with dark humour and self-mockery. Their original songs stick in your head after just one listen. Inspired by punk and pub rock from the 70s and 80s, with touches of the sixties and a hint of country.
16:00 | Restaurant Stage: Stories of the Island
Where exactly are we, anyway? During this storytelling session, island residents will take you on a small journey through the history of Zeeburgereiland. Listen to funny, personal and remarkable stories about living and working on this unique part of Amsterdam, told by people who have seen the island change up close.
17:00 | Square: Magic Show with Fritz
Enjoy a cheerful and interactive magic show for all ages, filled with humour, surprises and plenty of magic.
18:00 | Restaurant Stage: Mangoldband
Mangoldband brings a summery mix of italodisco, synthpop and electro with a strong nod to the 80s. The duo previously played festivals such as Magneet Festival and Uitjebak and supported Wolfgang Flur from Kraftwerk. Their energetic live set is the perfect warm-up for the festive music bingo later that evening.
19:00 | Restaurant: Music Bingo with Amy Housewine & Cyndi Pauper
A joyful music bingo packed with recognisable hits, guilty pleasures, humour and loud singalongs.

A piece of Amsterdam history, with a camping vibe

Come camp in your own backyard and join a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Camping Zeeburg is not just a campsite, but a place with a story. Back in the 1970s, it started as a refuge for travelling hippies who were no longer allowed to sleep for free on Dam Square or in Vondelpark. What grew from that moment was a place full of freedom, connection and a relaxed atmosphere.

That free spirit is still alive today. Camping Zeeburg has become a beloved place for travellers and locals alike, where people come together, share stories and create new memories.

During Kamperen & Kabaal, we celebrate exactly that feeling. Come by, experience the camping vibe and be part of it.

Camping in your backyard: a unique Amsterdam celebration!
