For more than 50 years, Pinkpop has made hearts beat faster, feet jump higher and hands clap harder. Every third weekend of June, Landgraaf is the place to be for our visitors to experience the most legendary shows by world-famous artists. In the south of the Netherlands, Pinkpoppers come together for a cross-generational festival experience.

For decades, nothing stops festival-lovers from attending Pinkpop. Friends and family travel to Landgraaf for three days to enjoy the biggest artists and the newest talents in a fine environment. Together they write history: because Pinkpop has been massively attended for more than five decades, the festival is the oldest continuous open-air pop festival according to the Guinness Book of Record. Since the festival’s doors first opened in 1970, more than 3 million unique visitors have passed through the festival gates and nearly 1,000 unique acts have taken the stage.

 

We are proud to be a festival where local educators get hands-on experience (for the first time). This is because we think it is incredibly important to offer new generations of event makers a professional workplace. In the run-up to and during our festival, we therefore work closely with students from various local mbo or college courses and minors. Successful initiatives or solutions regularly come out of school in the South of Limburg and during our festival part of our crew consists of (transferred) students and (former) interns.

We know how nice it is to work with a group of people to create a unique experience for thousands of people. By working together with local music, soccer and scouting clubs (behind the bar and in the recycling crew, among others), we are able to contribute to their coffers and thus give them a helping hand to stay active throughout the rest of the year.

Pinkpop is not only an accessible festival in front, but also behind the scenes. Our recycling crew consists largely of residents of Op de Bies and our old decor is carefully processed into brand new merchandise by the participants of the Stichting Philadelphia.

We also work together with the Stichting No Guts No Glory.Foundation. This foundation makes wishes come true for people of all ages with cancer and their caregivers. Thanks to this partnership, and perhaps your donation to the foundation when you purchase your festival ticket(s), the team at NGNG can accompany these visitors and there is a place to rest and administer medication where necessary. This makes it possible for these visitors to experience Pinkpop one more time.

With us, creative creators get the chance to connect to the history of our festival: since the 51st edition, our art poster is designed by a different artist every year and the Bonnefantenmuseum exhibits extraordinary art on our grounds.

To strengthen the route to Pinkpop’s stage for new talent, we are joining forces with Limburg pop venues and the Pop in Limburg Foundation. For example, the program of our annual Buurtborrel is provided by De Oefenbunker and Pop in Limburg, and the fringe and camping program also shines with talents or successful concepts from their quiver. Also, Pinkpop is opened each year by the award-winning “Promise” of the Limburg Pop Prize.

We remain constantly committed to the (future) interests of our visitors by committing to important campaigns and covenants. For example, we signed the Third Covenant to Prevent Hearing Damage and the Plastic Promise. In addition, we are inspired by partners such as Amnesty International and participate in the I Love My Ears, and Know Where You Buy campaigns. We also participated in the Maas Cleanup in 2024, contributing to a cleaner Maas together with thousands of volunteers and others and thus the literal ground of our existence. This is how we bring social issues to the attention of our Pinkpoppers and stay future-proof!
