Here I am, it's just music. Well organized, good camping with an after party in the night, great lineup but no chilled areas.

Drink/food similar to every Belgian/Dutch festival.

 

edit: camping A is close to the main entrance but camping B is 30mins walking from the festival area.

Tent and 3fm Stage work together, main stage has no clashes.

The atmosphere is ok like everywhere in Netherlands, average age is about 30. No drunk groups of teens.

 

Ask for any other info

We are also considering going from Denmark because of PJ. How difficult is it to get a spot in camping A? Do you know why the average age is so "high". Not that it is a problem (we are 26-29), but where do the youngsters get their festival on?

I think camping open at 6.00 so you have to go there early in the morning and stay in queue.

About the age I don't know why, maybe because I've been the edition with the Stones and Metallica, but my friends have gone also the year after and the things weren't different.

Pinkpop is sort of a ‘Family festival’, so you will see visitors of all agea there. Also it’s one of the world’s oldest fests, so the die hard Pinkpop goers will be pretty of age now. 

You’ll find more youngsters going to Down The Rabbit Hole.

Is it hard to get to the front area near the mainstage? Wanna go to Pinkpop next year and it will be my first festival with area division.

During the day it is easy. For the 2 last acts you should be in the line somewhere during the act before it.

Yes, usually they have daytickets. Still have to wait a month before ticket sales start though.

Cool, cheers, yeah saw the tickets aren't on sale yet. I'll keep an eye out thanks. One more question, any idea on the nearest airport? On a map it looks like Cologne in Germany. Thanks

Aachen-Maastricht airport would be even closer. Düsseldorf also pretty close. But I am no expert on those airports and the connections to the festival.

Hello, anyone from the UK been here before and know the best way/easiest way/cheapest way? And do they do any sort of tent hotel where they put up a tent for you and you pay them? 

[Foldingstars1980]

I went last year. We got the Eurostar and train to landgraaf. Pretty easy.

Any rumors about act? Looking like A Perfect Circle and Alice in Chains could fit in well on their Tour schedule, which would really make my day!

 

Are the entire Line-Up normally announced with the release of the tickets, and does it usually sell out fast at Pinkpop??

The entire line-up will be announced on the 21st of February. Tickets will go on sale on the 24th. 

I think the day tickets for Pearl Jam will sell out on the 24th. Maybe the weekendtickets will also sell out fast.

Rumours: Snow Patrol, 30 Seconds To Mars, The Script, London Grammar, A Perfect Circle, Oscar & The Wolf, The Kooks, Triggerfinger, Milky Chance

Would love A Perfect Circle - The others not that much.

[pete76]

Hollywood Vampires should be there, unfortunately i don't expect AIC or NIN

+ Marmozetes, Oscar & the Wolf. Full line-up will be released in a few hours

Lets see if they can fight back other major festivals. Last few years they didnt have a very good lineups imo, but they surely started off strong with PJ and FF this year. With the rumors of price increase, I wonder if they finally have a good undercard too.

Disappointment again
