Fieldlab has been given the initiative permission to increase visitor capacities for a raft of upcoming test events. The Dutch initiative behind the Back to Live series, has received permission for up to 10,000 attendees. 538 Koningsdag (King’s Day), a rock and pop festival that takes place annually at Chasséveld in Breda, will be the largest Fieldlab test event so far.
The event marks a second phase of the Fieldlab test events, whereby the organisers will trial certain measures with increased visitor capacities. The festival will take place on 24 April with artists including Snollebollekes, Davina Michelle, Chef’Special and Di-rect.
Other upcoming large-scale Fieldlab events include the 3FM Awards taking place today (15 April) with 1,500 visitors, a Racoon concert on 7 May (3,500 people) and a nightclub test event in Amsterdam on 15 May, which can be attended by 1,000 people. It was announced at the beginning of April that the Eurovision Song Contest would also become a Fieldlab test event, for which 3,500 people a day will be admitted to the 16,426-capacity Rotterdam Ahoy arena from 18 to 22 May.
