LIL’LEIP! Festival Winter Edition a huge success at Neushoorn

Last Thursday, February 5, 2026, the second edition of the LIL’LEIP! Festival took place at Neushoorn Leeuwarden. From the very first notes, the atmosphere was electric, and it quickly became clear that this was going to be an evening to remember.

With multiple stages spread throughout the building, a ball pit, arcade, and karaoke, there was something for every student to enjoy. The evening started with PopQuiz Live!, after which the party kicked off, and Neushoorn slowly filled with enthusiastic students.

The Mainstage featured Milolaathetlukken, Russo, Q5, and Sam Hofman, among others. Between live performances, DJs kept the tempo high. An absolute crowd favorite was the replica student living room, where an intimate house party was created. This cozy space became one of the most enjoyable places of the evening.

The event was completely sold out, with the last ticket being sold at the door. It was striking that 34% of the visitors came from vocational colleges in Leeuwarden, which underlines that LIL'LEIP! provides a safe and accessible night out for this target group.

A successful winter edition full of energy, connection, and unforgettable moments.

And for those who are already looking forward to more: the big LEIP Festival will take place on September 10, 2026. Mark your calendars!

Thanks to all partners, Gemeente Leeuwarden, NHL Stenden Hogeschool, Firda, Campus Fryslân, Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein, and all volunteers for making this possible.
