Fan Review: Pinkpop Festival (Landgraaf, NL) By An Van Oppens
My day at Pinkpop
Event: Pinkpop festival
Date + location: May 27th 2012 – Landgraaf, NL
Highlight of the day: Meet & Greet!
For me, other than their amazing set and meeting some awesome people, the Meet & Greet with the band was part of the incredible experience. It wasn't my first M&G though, but it was still very exciting to me!
Our Pinkpop day started with us (Gregory, Yves, his girlfriend Veerle, and me) driving to the festival from Belgium in Gregory’s very cool Linkin Parkified car (a white car with the LPUX logo on each side), while playing LP music the entire drive. We arrived in Landgraaf around 11 AM.
Throughout the day I really met some awesome LPU members. Meeting some of them for the first time after chatting a lot on the community. Besides them, there were also some great Belgian LPUers I already met at Werchter (Belgium) last year. I’ve also met Adam (LPUHQ) for the first time (at 3 PM), we were supposed to be working as “roadies (together with Pascal and Lode) for the day” but we ended up being “roadies for the hour”, haha! Even though it was pretty much impossible to recruit new members (unless you gave them an additional M&G pass for that day in return), Adam is really awesome, he took the time to chat and hang out with us for couple of hours, even during the show... ...
Fan Review: Pinkpop Festival (27/05/2012), Landgraaf/Netherlands by Kelly Gios
After weeks of anticipation, finally the day had arrived that a friend and I went to the Netherlands to see Linkin Park at Pinkpop festival. It was going to be the first time, and I was really looking forward to it. In the last few weeks I made friends with Kealyn and Vera at the LPU website. We decided to meet up at the festival.
I was at the parking lot when I saw another girl with an LPU shirt. But I was so nervous I totally didn’t recognise Vera! Kealyn was waiting for us at the entrance. As we got to know each other better, we felt connected to each other because we share the same passion: Linkin Park. We got along great and bonds for life were being made at Pinkpop. This is a perfect example of how LPU can bring true LP fans together! ...
