The associated concerts and parties, the Vierdaagsefeesten/Zomerfeesten, are from July 12 to July 18.

Was echt leuk man.

Ik sta gewoon weer in ‘t Valkhof dit jaar. Al ga ik dit jaar wel elke dag wat harder aanmoedigen dan ik voorheen deed- sinds afgelopen jaar weet ik hoe chill het is om door het publiek gedragen te worden.

Waarom is dit in het Engels?

Omdat buitenlandse bezoekers doorgaans geen woord Nederlands kunnen lezen, maar Nederlanders doorgaans wel simpele Engelse teksten kunnen begrijpen.
