Pinkpop
Encyclopedia
Pinkpop Festival, or Pinkpop for short, is an annual festival
held at Landgraaf
, Netherlands
. It is held annually on the Pentecost
weekend (Pinksteren in Dutch, hence the name). In 1970, the first festival took place in Geleen
, now part of municipality
Sittard-Geleen
and was held on the Monday following that weekend.
Today, Pinkpop is a 3 day festival, from Saturday to Monday, and visited by approximately 60,000 people a day with performances on 3 separate stages. In 35 years, 1.5 million people have attended Pinkpop. More than 500 musical acts have played at the festival.
In 1994 (the 25th edition), it was decided to sell only 60,000 tickets, to prevent overcrowding due to the popularity of the festival. In 1995, it was made into a 2-day festival. Two years later, in 1997, this was further expanded to three days.
2007 saw a spin-off, later in the year, on 11 August, called Pinkpop Classic, for an older rock audience, with bands that previously performed there in past decades.
In 2008 Pinkpop was for the first time in its history, not held on Pentecost weekend which fell too early that year for the convenience of fans and performers alike.

The precursor to Pinkpop, which was held in 1969, was called Pinknick because people were supposed to bring their own food. But no evidence to support the claim have ever surfaced. The claim arose only after Oregon Country Fair

, Metallica
, and the recently reunited Rage Against the Machine
. Pinkpop 2008 had the largest audience of concert attendees to date, with an average of just over 60,000 people arriving each of the three days, prompting the festival organizers to announce that 180,000 people had visited the festival. Because the 42,500 available three-day passes sold out completely, the actual number of unique visitors is 94,000.
In February 2008, Alanis Morissette announced on her website that she will play on Pinkpop, on 1 June. Furthermore, on 2 March Stereophonics
announced that they will play on PinkPop 2008 as well, at the end of their concert in the HMH in Amsterdam.
