We Are Electric is an electronic music festival mixing full live bands,

semi-live and dj performances into an eclectic festival experience with one

focus only: high energy.This gives us the freedom to jump between genres,

ranging anywhere from beats to techno to D&B to electro to house.

We started out with an indoor version, which was first held in the autumn of

2013 in the grand Philips Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. The event was bound

to sell out and construct a platform for the future, with acts like Major Lazer,

The Bloody Beetroots, Diplo and Hudson Mohawke.

A year later the event sold out again, with Pendulum, Rudimental,

Gesaffelstein, 2manydjs, Roni Size Reprazent, Noisia, A-Trak and many

others on the bill. In June 2015 we launched the first outdoor edition

headlined by The Prodigy and also offered 2 day camping for those who

couldn’t get enough. We sold out of our day and weekend tickets weeks in

advance.

We Are Electric is held at the E3 beach in Eersel, in the South. A perfect

festival area surrounded by trees and a big lake and a bright white sandy

beach to top it off. The E3 therefor makes a great camping site, and visitors

of the festival are welcome to take a refreshing dip in the lake.

Both on Friday and Saturday we will have 6 stages at We Are Electric: 4

tents, an open air stage and small tipi stage for people to catch their breath

We are going to take a three-day tumble in De Groene Heuvels (The Green

Hills) park, hidden in the rolling land between the Maas and Waal rivers,

neighbour to an underwater paradise with a centuries-old natural source.

Idyllic indeed!

“Down The Rabbit Hole” says adventure, confusion, surrealism and

psychedelics, which has been an inspiration for (psycho) rockers, DJs,

artists, designers and filmmakers ever since the rise of the pop culture in

the uncurbed 1960s… Good company, so get ready to tumble… It’s A

Campingflight Down The Rabbit Hole!

And we will go down collectively, so be prepared. A frontrunner line-up on

the stages and equal measures of thrill in and around those tents. It’s your

party too, so: spin a record, cook a meal, build a raft, hip a hop. We’re out

and we’re loose. But let’s party in a sustainable way: we’ll keep it green &

clean. We have all the time in the world, there’s no rush. Take your time to

dine, go meditate in the forest, lie down in the green pasture, swim for a bit,

help build the tower, strum by the campfire, discover hidden discos… Have

a ball with brand-new bands or finally see that classic artist in full swing.

Build your own party and celebrate, enjoy what you do, all with an open

mind.
