Difficult one for me , some good bands on it this year , although like most I would have prefered to see T? on the ‘real’ Pinkpop again.
Would be well deserved , a reward for 20 years hard work and would have gotten the band on the radar of the younger generation.
Classic in all fairness has the reputation of being for and with the elderly among us a bit.

On a side note , even with those couple of good bands on the bill , 75 euro on the day ( or 64 plus costs pre-booking ) is very steep no matter what and from the website I take it Therapy? is on very early already ( around 12.30 in the afternoon ).

Still , my mate lives down the road in Maastricht and haven’t seen him in a while so if I get the green card at home might make a weekend out of it.

I wasn’t happy with the Pinkpop Classis News… they should have played one week later at the Lowlands festival. They would have suited perfectly there! The audience there is much younger and would have loved Therapy?’s energy.

(and besides that, I’ve already got tickets for Lowlands) ;-)

Whether it’s meant for older people or not, I’m 18, and I’m going! :p In my experience many people around my age nowadays don’t have a taste for music or proper respect for bands anymore anyway so a young audience isn’t always a sign of quality, though I admit it has its advantages. Crammerock last year, and the three last shows of the Crooked Timber tour, were proof for me they could still get a lot of young people moving too, it doesn’t have to be proven every time. Anyway we’ll see, remember I got to know Therapy? through my dad! : )

I was delighted with the news of the line-up, Therapy? and The Fun Lovin’ Criminals have been my two top favourite bands for a long time now, being able to see them both at the same festival is just great. Both give a different feeling after the concert is over though, I wonder what it’ll be like when I’ve seen them both : )

It was similar to the one in Lokeren but shorter because I think in Lokeren they got an hour and they only had 45 minutes yesterday. Unlike in Lokeren, though, the weather was very nice all day long. The Dutch crowd was also pretty enthusiastic, there were no half-interested Mötley Crüe fans filling up the front rows this time : )

Enjoy the Struggle, Crooked Timber (that only hits me now, wth? did I remember wrong?), Unbeliever and Stop It You’re Killing Me were dropped out and I think Exiles was played earlier in the set.

So these were the songs, the order is probably not 100 percent correct though: Knives, Screamager, Epilepsy, Stories, Exiles, Isolation, Teethgrinder, Die Laughing, Rust, Potato Junkie, Diane and Nowhere.

Especially Teethgrinder and Diane were absolutely lethal (even more so than usual) this time around. Dave was also there this time in his Chelsea shirt, he was taking pictures and checking out on a Presidents of the USA song with Neil after they were done.

Therapy?’s support acts ( ;) ) were worth it too. The Cult and especially Gary Moore were real discoveries for me - this is perhaps a ridiculous thing to say about bands who have been active for so long, but I’m really happy I got to know them. Gary Moore is a thrilling guitarist and The Cult’s frontman had me LMAO more than once, especially when he said ‘let’s get some underwear on this child, it is really disturbing’ (about the PinkPop brand). I’d already seen the Presidents when I went to see Therapy? for the first time in Lokeren and remembered them - you simply can’t help but smile when you see that man perform : )

My 2nd favourite band Fun Lovin’ Criminals also did very well, it was great seeing both them and Therapy?.

Nice to meet Diamond Dave, Mark, Stevie, Rich, Roxy & Robby, An & Jan, Ronald, Niek & posse. Great weather, great beer, great mood, just perfect!!
The Cult played a blinder set also, they were better than I expected! Astbury and Duffy have got the stagecharisma left . Havent seen them since the late eighties and these “new guys” beside them in the band did their work well.
Topping on the day was Iggy & The Stooges set. No tornados and heavy rain this time destroying their gig like it happened week ago here in Finland funland:( Got on stage during Shake Appeal with my wife and showed the crowd how finnish people can dance and take pictures at the same time:D Huh,huh whatta gig!
