3½/5: Good to have seen Steve Ignorant at least one time. The Crass songs were played with true conviction.

Prince, 07/10/2010
4/5: Nice show, that took some time to get into full swing. The last encore in particular was great.

Editors, 05/29/2010
2½/5: To please my brother in law Jan off we went to Pinkpop to see Editors. Was a nice show.

LCD Soundsystem, 05/04/2010
5/5: After the chaos of the Dodenherdenking shouter, we went to a sold-out Paradiso to witness one of the best bands of all time. Truly stunning!

Editors, 11/08/2009
4/5: Topconcert at (relatively) small venue. Introduction to new material.
Oct 11 2009
The Cult, 10/11/2009
2/5: The Cult at half speed (sound wise), with Ian Astbury’s voice being even more out of tune than usual. Disappointment.
Jul 20 2009
U2, 07/20/2009
4/5: U2 in great form. Definite highlight I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight was stunning!
May 30 2009
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, 05/30/2009
3/5: First time Bruce at Pinkpop. Sound wasn’t great, but the show itself was good.
Sep 15 2008
Stevie Wonder, 09/15/2008
3½/5: All the hype in the newspapers made me more than curious. Too many ballads and too little funk. But when it was funky, it was amazing!
Jun 23 2008
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, 06/23/2008
5/5: A once in a lifetime experienc at the (indoor) Sportpaleis. The E Street Band seemed to be happy to be playing a more intimate venue and were having the time of their lives!
Nov 13 2007
Arcade Fire, 11/13/2007
4½/5: Favorite since debut Funeral. This concert was in promotion of The Neon Bible. At the end of the show it almost seemed like the venue had lift off. Beautiful!
Sep 14 2007
The Police, 09/14/2007
2/5: Very disappointing concert at the, for concerts, disastrous ArenA.
Feb 24 2007
Kardes Türküler, 02/24/2007
3½/5: Seeing Kardes Turkuler in such a beautiful environment. Can’t go wrong, and it didn’t.
Feb 10 2007
The Family Stand, 02/10/2007
4½/5: And suddenly news broke that The Family Stand would play in Heerhugowaard. With around 25 people present, the band played a great show that went on for 2 hours straight. A very special evening!
