Huge crowds in The Hague city center for The Life I Live festival

The city center of The Hague was packed on Tuesday evening with visitors to the festival The Life I Live, which is being held for the tenth time. “It is moving that after two years of corona we are now back in the city with so many people in a friendly atmosphere,” says spokesperson Mark Boulas of the organization.

The Ukrainian band Go_A, who finished fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam last year with the song SHUM, opened the free music festival around 7 p.m. “Long before their performance started, there were hundreds of people waiting,” says Boulas. “And during the performance there were many more. There were also many Ukrainians who sang along. So did people who do not speak Ukrainian.”

The Amsterdam band Jungle By Night closes the festival with instrumental afr funk.
