Live | Festival on the Ring on A10 in Amsterdam

The afternoon program of the festival on the Ring in Amsterdam started after 3 p.m. A spokesperson for the organization says that the outflow of visitors to the morning part went smoothly and the rows were “manageable”. Due to the warm weather, visitors to the afternoon program per person can take 1 liter extra water to the festival site. In total it concerns 2 liters per person.

At the end of the afternoon the crowds on the festival site on the A10 increase rapidly. It is full around the performances of Kriss Kross Amsterdam and Audio Obscura, the organization reports around 6 p.m. “The rest of the day no new visitors are admitted to these zones,” she says. “Visitors are referred to the sixteen other stages where there is still room.” Access to the S106 is closed.

The organization looks back on a “pleasantly busy” morning program. Even then it was “at times busy” at popular stages like that of Kris Kross Amsterdam at the S106. At those moments, visitors were led around the stage via the entrance and exit, according to the spokesperson.

A malfunction arose earlier in the day at three of the 344 water points on the festival site. According to the organization, this malfunction has since been remedied.
