The festival houses 7 stages catering to all sub-genres, including a Dancehall and a Main Stage for the most popular acts. A true feast of culture and artistic auras, the Pinkpop Festival has a rousing line-up for this year's attendees. With a huge kick off last Saturday, fans enjoyed sets from British rock elites Coldplay, Elbow and Manic Street Preachers.
