Dancing, drinking and cheering were the order of the day at the first legal dance event in the Netherlands in almost a year, as government-backed experiments continue to decide how events can be organised safety during the pandemic.
In total 1,300 people won tickets for the event, which featured Sam Feldt, and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, on Saturday afternoon. The Ziggo Dome has normal capacity for 17,000 and 100,000 people had applied for tickets.
It is almost a year ago that events for over 100 people were banned, as coronavirus spread throughout the country. ‘It is so fantastic to be here with everyone,’ one reveller said. ‘It all felt a little awkward at the beginning, but then everyone went wild.’
