After a quick 6km we were at
PinkPop!
It’s an annual 3-day music festival held in Landgraaf and it’s actually the oldest annual pop festival in Europe! PinkPop 2013 was its 44th
edition. It’s had some pretty insane line-ups in its time and this years was no
exception yet still hardly anyone in the UK has heard of it. Of A,B,C and D (in
order of proximity to the festival terrain) we were happy to get our spot in Camping B
right by it’s food court and party tent. Once we’d safety put our bikes in the
bike lock and stocked up at a local supermarket we walked the 30 minutes to get
to where the music was at…
- First up Paramore on the Main Stage. We were surprised by how many of their punk-style songs we knew and lead singer Hayley Williams’ energy was contagious.
- Then off for a little bit of Jimmy Eat World at the 3FM Stage towards the back of the fielded area to hear some more Americans.
- Leaving them early we got prime spots at the front of the Main Stage for one of my favourite bands, The Script. The music was even better than on their albums and the atmosphere as we all jumped and sang along at the top of our lungs was incredible.
- Then to finish the evening off, The Killers. An hour of pumping rock classics like Mr Brightside and When We Were Young. It was a great first day.
