No DYNAMO OPEN AIR Festival This Year

February 11, 2006

According to Gerco Zwiers of the Blackfuel metal/hardcore e-zine, Holland's Dynamo Open Air festival, which was supposed to take place in Hellendoorn this year, has been cancelled. The reason for this cancellation is that the festival organizers are not allowed to put a temporary campsite on the festival area. Another reason is that there are not enough "big-name" artists available to book. Last year the festival was held in Hellendoorn for the first time and due to bad weather and the lack of huge names on the bill, only 5,000 tickets were sold.

The first Dynamo Open Air festival took place in 1986 in Eindhoven. In 1999 the festival moved its location outside of Eindhoven because of problems with the festival site. In the last few years, the festival has been plagued with problems, resulting in several cancellations, mostly related to the organizers' inability to comply with the environment law in the Netherlands while securing a suitable location for the event.
