Do you still regret the fact that you missed that Lowlands festival mudfight? Or that one rather obscure but brilliant band on one of the smaller stages? Did you elbow your way to the moshpit, only to find that yesterday Amsterdam’s delights killed the band’s skills? Wouldn’t it be great to know what’s the place to be right now? Enter: the Lowlands Heatmap.

Check your mobile to see how hot stage Alpha, Bravo and Echo are right now. The Lowlands Heatmap shows the visitors’ vote on the performing artists. So when you’re spectacularly underwhelmed by the act you’re watching, vote NOT so that people know they don’t need to come your way. The Lowlands Heatmap is the LIVE guide to the music festival.

Here is Owen van Dijk’s capture of three festival days heatmap:
