Kompas Publishing expands its lifestyle portfolio with Festival Fans and Reisjunk

Kompas Publishing has completed two acquisitions within the lifestyle segment. On 1 May 2026, the company acquired the festival platform Festival Fans, followed by the addition of travel platform Reisjunk to its portfolio on 12 May 2026.

Festival Fans focuses on festivals in the electro, (deep) house, hardstyle, pop, rock, and techno scenes across the Netherlands and Belgium. The platform provides visitors with information on ticket sales, line-ups, and festival experiences. Through this acquisition, Kompas Publishing adds an established festival platform within the Dutch and Belgian music scene to its portfolio.

Founded in 2014 as a travel blog, Reisjunk has grown into a professional content platform featuring contributions from bloggers, photographers, and content creators. Kompas Publishing plans to further develop the platform with new content formats, including travel videos and practical travel tools, while also focusing on broader distribution and scaling its reach.

Reisjunk founders Greg and Irene will remain strategically involved with the platform. According to Kompas Publishing, both acquisitions align with its existing focus on online media in the lifestyle, seniors, young families, education, and shopping sectors. With these additions, the company strengthens its position within online communities centered around travel, festivals, and leisure activities.
