Early bird tickets are now live!

December 02, 2025

With a new year on the horizon, it is a great moment to start looking forward to something fun. The 56th Poetry International Festival will take place on 4, 5, 6 and 7 June 2026 in Rotterdam, and our Early Bird passe-partouts are now available.

This first release comes at the lowest price of the season. With a passe-partout in hand, you can already look ahead to enjoying all three festival days next June. Please note: tickets for the opening program on June 4 are not included in the passe-partout.

Whether you are returning or discovering the festival for the very first time, we would love to have you with us!
