The Free Your Mind Festival is a two-day summer festival that is set to take place on June 3rd and 4th in Arnhem, Netherlands. The festival will be held at Stadsblokken, a historic location that will provide an extra special setting for the 20th anniversary celebration. The festival is well known for presenting some of the most respected global techno names, with headliners Reinier Zonneveld and Paul Kalkbrenner leading the jam-packed lineup of dance music’s finest.
Free Your Mind has been a heavyweight in the festival scene for two decades, supporting a huge range of talent along the way and giving many young ravers their first festival experience.
