“It’s very busy and currently the site is full,” the organization wrote this afternoon via Instagram Stories. “Try to postpone your visit.” At the beginning of the evening that changed and the following was reported: ‘It is still very busy. The entrances are open again. “
Postponing the visit meant for the people who wanted to go inside that they had to wait behind the fence. “This is the third entrance we try,” said one of them. “We are from Amsterdam, so it’s a shame to go home.” A second waiting said: “I came especially for Rowwen Hèze. On the other hand, I stood in line for an hour, but then they will send us to this place and then you get this,” he said, pointing to the crowd. “
Some liberation doll enthusiasts did not care about the closed entrances and climbed over the fence. Others left the site because of the enormous crowds.
‘Stuck as a sardientje’
Visitors responded to social media that they could not go anywhere. One of them told NH that he was stuck ‘like a sardientje’. “How it went there was not good. I certainly got someone from the first aid four times because a visitor did not get any air.”
Roxy Dekker, Rowwen Hèze, SEF and team service are on the program, among others. The festival concludes with Son Mieux. It is about the 45th edition.
Financial need
For a moment it was exciting whether the Liberation Festival could continue when it became clear that the empire decided to end the structural financial support. The province and the municipality then decided to pull the wallet.
