First names for Down The Rabbit Hole 2027 likely mid November

The 2026 festival season is over, and attention is already turning to the twelfth edition of Down The Rabbit Hole in the Groene Heuvels. The question on festivalgoers' minds right now: when will the first names for Down The Rabbit Hole 2027 be announced? Festileaks has lined up the dates from previous years to make a prediction.

That overview shows that the first lineup announcement has landed around the same time every year since 2022. Before that, the reveal came in mid December or even early January, but over the past five editions it has fallen in the second half of November. The first names for both DTRH 2023 and DTRH 2024 were unveiled on 29 November. In 2022 and 2025, the organizers came in just ahead of that date, on 25 and 27 November respectively. For the 2026 edition, the news arrived a week earlier, on 19 November.

Based on that pattern, Festileaks considers it likely that the organizers will announce the first names in the third or fourth week of November this time too. On top of that, every announcement since 2022 has fallen on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. That gives six possible dates: 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 November 2026.

It remains a prediction, though, because nothing is certain until the festival itself comes out with a teaser or announcement. In the meantime, the rumor mill for 2027 is already running at full speed, partly thanks to the recent announcements of Roskilde Festival 2027 and Primavera Sound 2027. On the Festileaks forum, people are speculating away about possible names, with Vince Staples and Doechii among the wishes mentioned by visitors.

For music lovers in the Netherlands, it's worth keeping an eye on the second half of November. Down The Rabbit Hole is one of the country's fixed annual festivals, and the first lineup names usually give a first impression of the vibe and direction of the new edition.
