Jera on Air

What Jera on Air does

Jera on Air operates an annual three-day punk, hardcore, and metalcore music festival in Ysselsteyn, Netherlands (June 25-26-27 for the 2026 edition). The festival has run annually since the early 1990s and serves a community of European alternative-music fans, with the 2026 lineup spanning 100+ artists and headliners including Architects, The Offspring, Papa Roach, A Day to Remember, All Time Low, Hatebreed, Ice Nine Kills, Rise Against, and Trivium. The company's core product offering is festival access, complemented by optional bus travel packages and an official merchandise webshop at jera.merchstore.nl selling JOA-branded clothing and accessories.

The business model is event-driven and direct-to-consumer. Revenue is generated across three streams: ticket sales (one-time admission to the three-day festival), merchandise sales (clothing and accessories via the dedicated webshop), and sponsorships. A disclosed sponsor roster of 10+ partners — including Atticus Clothing, Teunissen BV, Provincie Limburg, Jupiler, American Socks, Volk Flannel, Chemister Shop, Vitelia, Impericon, and Cybox — supports the festival commercially and is prominently displayed on the website header. Marketing is concentrated on the company website as primary hub, supplemented by active social media presence (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), a YouTube channel for aftermovies and performance content, and email newsletter communications with a press signup form for media accreditation.

Jera on Air operates as a privately held for-profit entity (private, no parent company disclosed) with 11-50 employees, headquartered at the festival grounds in Ysselsteyn, Netherlands. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no management team bios, and no disclosed revenue or financial metrics. Its competitive position rests on an established alternative-music festival brand, a category-aligned sponsor ecosystem, and recurring operational execution of an annual event format with camping, multi-stage programming, and integrated travel services.
