Pinkpop press conference

We just visited the Pinkpop press conference at Paradiso, where Jan Smeets announced the names of the bands attending the festival in June. Giel Beelen was presenting and opened the afternoon in a nice fashion with the guys from Blaas of Glory. The goal of our visit was to speak to Jan and convince him to launch our installation at the festival.

Jan referred us to Niek Murray (his wingman) who’s more into tech and we had a quick chat with him. He’ll discuss with Jan and hopefully we will know very soon! Keep you posted..
