Festival-goers venturing to Pinkpop or Graspop (just across the Belgian border) this weekend should bring rain boots. In both areas, you don’t have to search long until you come across a mud puddle.
A Pinkpop spokesperson said they would try to fix the worst mud stains next night. The organization will try to make the site more accessible using road boards, straw and wood chips, among other things.
“The big advantage is that there is a large amount of asphalt and fortunately people in those parts do not feel any discomfort,” says the spokesman.
However, that shouldn’t spoil the fun for many festival-goers:
Festival visitors had to brave the rain several times today. Most of the rain fell during the Acda and De Munnik range. There were a few sunshine and raining at that time.

It is also a wet issue in Belgium. At the Grasspop metal festival in Dessel, about 30 kilometers southwest of Eindhoven, campsites were partially evacuated due to heavy rain. The municipality and the festival organization are jointly arranging emergency accommodation for visitors to the affected camps.
And the terrain itself isn’t so dry anymore:

Festival-goers coming to Graspop in the coming days cannot sleep at the campsite. They are asked to return home after the festival or arrange another place to stay the night.
The festival itself will continue as usual. The weather forecast for the next two days is better.
