Sometimes this means that you end up in unreal chaos and this is what happened on Thursday evening.
On the train to Wijchen I, along with more and more connecting heavily packed travelers, watched the changeable downpours that raged across the country. “Surely it will blow over in Beuningen?” Vain hope…
My best buddy was waiting for me at the station and had already eaten. With a stop at ‘The Golden Arches’ for me, where I ordered something, including a Veggie Chicken (ordering chicken at a fast food joint like this is something you just shouldn’t do…), we drove on to the festival grounds in his car, while most of the train passengers took the shuttle buses.
Heavily loaded, but with a handy unfolding cart, we walked through the mud and pouring rain looking for a spot.
At the edge of the terrain, after a short discussion with a couple of ladies who were trying to claim the piece of land for their friends who would come the next day and during which we calmly explained that it doesn’t work like that and that there was quite some space left, we put up our beautiful tent. A wet evening and night, but fortunately we still had some wine and snacks. A nice experience to say the least!
The next morning the sun was out again and it was made clear to us that the free view from our folding chairs could be obstructed and this actually happened because five lovely ladies (age late 20s, early 30s. Just a bit too young, but not necessarily) set up two tents for us.
From the beginning to the end, all the artists, as well as the spectators, seemed to be incredibly into it.
The nice thing about a festival is that you can reserve a place at the front an hour before a performance starts by standing or sitting down.
With a total of 45,000 people walking around, it is busy but still manageable.
It seemed that the prevailing inflation was well abused by the various eateries and that was indeed the case, however, elsewhere it would not have been different …
And then the music! Because that’s literally what’s it all about , isn’t it?
Occasionally standing in front of a performance makes for a very intense experience.
Anyway, below is a brief summary with score/rating. Of course, tastes may differ and it is impossible to cover all the acts.
This is therefore a summary with scores from our own point of view.
Rating: 8

We had to recover from this… So back to the tent. A bite to eat too.
Everything was there . Thom danced a bit and sang superbly. Can’t wait to see this again!
Grade: 9
In between we caught a little bit of the performance by Little Simz. Sounded good, but too short to judge.
Grade: 7
Grade: 6
So we walked on to also listen to some:
DJs who were doing their best. Not bad , but I think I’ve heard some better sets in the past. This was a bit disappointing overall, but we didn’t catch the later dj sets of e.g. Tom Trago and Sandrien either, so perhaps a somewhat unfounded judgment here.
Grade: 7
We called it “hipster square”, where people were hula hooping wearing raised white socks and ridiculous shirts, among other things. I had done my best on Saturday by pulling up my David Bowie “Starman socks” together wearing my Hawaii shirt. The next day someone appeared to be wearing exactly the same socks. Well done!
Grade: 8
Rating: 9
Grade: 8
Score: 10
Another beer and then off to the tent. We will stay until Monday morning. The ladies in front of us have also gone home. Oh wait , there’s one more who is coming to get a bag she had put in our cart. She lives nearby, so she cycles home safely. See you next year, question-or-exclamation mark.
