HOLLAND POP 1970 (2024)


More than 50 years ago, the Holland Pop Festival took place in the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam. Known as Europe's answer to Woodstock, this festival was a milestone in European music history. It was the first large-scale event in Europe where visitors could also spend the night on the festival site. Nearly 100,000 people gathered on the festival site for three days, driven by an atmosphere of love, peace and happiness, to listen to legendary bands such as Santana, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd. In this documentary about this historic event, the former organizers are interviewed and Ferri Ronteltap collects archive images to paint a vivid picture of this special period in the history of music.
