Time to party, finally!

It’s always time to party when a new edition of the EB Festival Guide arrives, but this 12th edition deserves the spotlights even more. The last two years have been incredibly tough for the live industry. The festival grounds and all venues were empty most of the time and it was all hands on deck for our beloved industry to survive. This new edition of our EB Festival Guide, also known as ‘the festival bible’, is therefore much more than a comprehensive overview of the festival landscape in the Netherlands, Belgium and the rest of Europe. This guide is above all a promise, a sneak peek into the (near) future, which hopefully will be packed with festivals and events! We’re sure this year’s edition will help you fill in your calendars and make sure you don’t miss out on all those great events, festivals, memories in the making and all the opportunities that will be generated. Finally! Next to the important festival data you’ll find several in-depth features that will give you a back-story about important, relevant cases in the industry today. For instance, we give you insights in topics such as the future of ticketing and cashless payment. Although we’ve strived to list as many events as we could, much is still insecure, mostly because of the pandemic. If your festival or event is not mentioned in this guide or if you would like to add extra information for the Online EB Festival Guide 2022 that can be found on entertainmentbusiness.nl, don’t hesitate to contact us at festivalguide@entertainmentbusiness.nl. But before we delve into the world of live entertainment, we would like to thank all the participating festivals and advertisers. Most of them have been on board since day one and are truly the backbone of this publication. Thank you very much! If you like what you see in this guide, please check our bi-monthly magazine EB Live, in which we cover the industry side of live entertainment. We hope to see you at one of the festivals mentioned in this guide! Cheers,

YOURTICKETPROVIDER

ULTIEME CUSTOMER JOURNEY MET YOURTICKETPROVIDER In zijn elfjarige bestaan en met meer dan 10 miljoen verkochte toegangskaartjes heeft Yourticketprovider bewezen een van de vaste waarden binnen de Nederlandse ticketindustrie te zijn. Het bedrijf werd eerder dit jaar overgenomen door CM.com waardoor de toekomst er nog veelbelovender uitziet. CEO Bart Peute: “Onze insteek blijft: hoe kunnen we klanten helpen met het invullen van ambities.”

M.com verkoopt via Yourticketprovider tickets voor grote festival organisatoren als Loveland Events, The Zoo Events en Kwaku Summer Festival. Daarnaast is in 2018 het culturele label Get A Ticket toegevoegd. Hiermee verzorgt het de ticketverkoop voor meer dan 30 Nederlandse theaters en schouwburgen, waaronder de Leidse Schouwburg, de Goudse Schouwburg, Stadstheater Zoetermeer en Atlas Theater. Centraal in de werkwijze van Yourticketprovider staat het creëren van ‘de meest unieke ervaring voor zowel organisatoren als bezoekers’. CEO Bart Peute: “Vorig jaar zijn we in gesprek geraakt met CM.com en al snel bleek dat we hetzelfde denken over het persoonlijke contact met klanten en altijd op zoek zijn naar nieuwe manieren om de ultieme customer journey te creëren. Doordat we nu onderdeel zijn van CM.com Ticketing kunnen we die proposities nog beter aanpassen op de behoeften van onze klanten. Zo hebben we de tools van CM.com gebruikt om klanten die op aanbetaling tickets kochten een sms gestuurd waarmee zij het tweede deel van hun kaartje konden kopen. Dat werkte uitstekend. De organisatoren waren blij met de nieuwe mogelijkheden en dit is nog maar het begin. Zo kunnen we nu de totale communicatie-flow voor, tijdens en

na het evenement aanbieden. Met unieke communicatie tools in een workflow worden vooraf automatische triggers ingesteld om bezoekers op het juiste moment te enthousiasmeren. Dit zorgt bij organisatoren voor overzicht en tijdsbesparing. Daarnaast is de wil om met ieder nieuw event te groeien, te vernieuwen en de werkzaamheden beter te doen is enkel groter geworden.” 110 procent De overname heeft er niet voor gezorgd dat Yourticketprovider een ander bedrijf is geworden. Peute benadrukt dat het persoonlijke aspect en de korte lijntjes, waar zijn onderneming bekend om staat, niet verdwenen zijn. “Door de overname is dat juist verder gegroeid. Zo hebben we de customer supportafdeling uitgebreid en zijn er verschillende customer succes managers aangetrokken. Hierdoor zijn er nu meer middelen om dat persoonlijke contact niet alleen te garanderen maar ook waar nodig uit te breiden. Een ander groot voordeel van de overname is dat de gesprekken die wij voeren veel breder zijn geworden dan voorheen. De insteek is nu meer hoe kunnen we jullie helpen met het invullen van de ambities in plaats van alleen te onderhandelen over de ticket fee. Daarnaast blijft natuurlijk onze betrokkenheid onveranderd. Iedereen bij Yourticketprovider, van de developer tot servicemedewerker of de ticketscanner, zet zich 110 procent in en werkt met onze klanten alsof het ook een eigen evenement is.”

gesteld worden in de fysieke of de digitale wereld. Er zijn genoeg evenementen waar een NFT perfect zou werken. Ik noem bijvoorbeeld de populaire esport events, maar ook festivals. Naast het toegangsrecht kun je als aanbieder hier bijvoorbeeld merchandise aan koppelen. Een ander voordeel is dat je met NFT secundaire ticketing beter kan reguleren. Het is een alternatief voor een beveiligde ruil. En wat te denken van de voorfinancieringsmogelijkheden? Een NFTticket kan gebruikt worden als onderpand waar de organisator regels aan kan hangen. Bijvoorbeeld het ticket verkopen voor 10 euro en een waarde van 12 euro garanderen als het event 80 procent uitverkoopt. Het is nog vroeg in de geschiedenis van NFT en er zijn voor bezoekers veel vragen en onduidelijkheden. Het is voor ons de uitdaging om aan de voorkant dit niet in de markt te zetten als NFT, maar op de achtergrond de mogelijkheden hiervan goed gebruiken. De technologie om dit te realiseren werkt al en op dit moment praten we met verschillende organisatoren om de eerste experimenten hiermee uit te voeren.” Alle nieuwe stappen die Yourticketprovider nu met CM.com zet voelen als de eerste, stelt Peute. “We kunnen nog veel verder gaan dan waar we nu staan. Ik noem bijvoorbeeld marketing automation gebaseerd op triggers. Met alles wat er nu ligt en wat mogelijk is ziet de toekomst er heel interessant uit. De tijd dat het enkel gaat om een barcode op het ticket is echt voorbij.”

“Iedereen bij Yourticketprovider, van de developer tot de ticketscanner, zet zich 110 procent in en werkt met onze klanten alsof het ook een eigen evenement is” Expansie naar het buitenland CM.com is een internationale speler en ook Yourticketprovider heeft plannen voor ‘expansie naar het buitenland’. “Voor de overname waren die ambities er ook, maar was dat geen prioriteit, de groei gebeurde in ons eigen tempo. CM.com geeft ons de mogelijkheid om die visie versneld te realiseren. Hoe leuk is het om ons platform binnen de structuur van CM.com Ticketing naar het buitenland te brengen. Het is echter nog te vroeg om landen of tijdstippen te noemen, maar de ambitie ligt er zeker.” NFT Yourticketprovider staat bekend als speler die tech trends en innovaties altijd snel heeft omarmd. In corona-tijd stapte het bedrijf bijvoorbeeld al vroeg in het aanbieden van livestreams. Een van de nieuwste innovaties waar het is ingesprongen zijn NFT’s. “Ik geloof dat er heel veel gaat gebeuren in de Metaverse, ook in de ticketarena. De vraag is waar wil de consument naar toe, hoe komt hij daar en waar heeft hij recht op. Het maakt niet uit of die vragen

COMFECTIVE

MODERN PORTOFOONGEBRUIK VIA 4G EN WIFI VOOR EVENTS In de voorbereiding en tijdens evenementen is het van groot belang dat leden van een organisatie vlekkeloos met elkaar kunnen communiceren. Idealiter doen ze dat via een onafhankelijk en veilig netwerk dat probleemloos werkt. Dat is precies wat Comfective biedt, inclusief alle benodigde apparatuur. Deze specialist zorgt voor een moderne en professionele plug & play portofoonoplossing, grotendeels ontwikkeld door Motorola Solutions.

omfective staat bekend als specialist in effectieve groepscommunicatie. “Wij onderscheiden ons in de evenementenbranche met moderne toepassingen op basis van hedendaagse technologie”, vertelt mede-eigenaar Marco Vermooten. “Onze apparatuur communiceert via 4G en wifi. Dat biedt voordelen ten opzichte van portofonie die werkt via traditionele radiosignalen. Met ons systeem ben je overal waar wifi of 4G beschikbaar is verzekerd van een goed bereik en je bent niet afhankelijk van een eigen infrastructuur. Zeker voor grote evenementen biedt dat veel zekerheid.”

Eenvoudig te beheren De 4G-portofonie van Comfective werkt via een communicatieplatform in de cloud waarop kan worden ingelogd via de browser. In het systeem kunnen gebruikers naar wens worden toegevoegd en rechten toegewezen krijgen. Marco: “We maken in samenspraak met de afnemer een overzicht van teamleden en stellen middels een fleetmap in wie met wie mag communiceren. Het is een modern, flexibel en handig systeem. Door het gebruik hiervan hoeven wij tijdens een evenement niet op locatie te monitoren of alles goed verloopt, zoals dat met traditionele portofonie meestal wel moet gebeuren. Wij leveren de benodigde tools en uitleg waarmee een

Meest betrouwbare oplossing Volgens Marco leeft de gedachte onder sommige organisatoren dat het verstandig is om een eigen infrastructuur voor portofonie aan te

leggen voor evenementen. “Ze denken dat uit angst voor storingen van grote telecomproviders. Maar omdat wij werken met Motorola Solutions is die angst ongegrond. Motorola Solutions is de meest betrouwbare partner voor dit soort apparatuur. Dat bedrijf heeft contracten met alle providers en kan daardoor over alle netwerken heen roamen. Ofwel: als KPN uitvalt dan gaat de communicatie over naar Vodafone of T-Mobile. De kans dat er problemen ontstaan met je eigen netwerk is veel groter dan dat alle providers ineens uit de lucht gaan. Bovendien kun je met onze apparatuur ook nog je eigen wifinetwerk als backup gebruiken.”Voor organisaties die zelfs de allerkleinste kans op storingen willen uitsluiten, is er wel nog een aanvullende premium oplossing. “Die betreft speciale portofoons die via 4G, wifi én traditionele radiosignalen werken. Naar onze ervaring is er echter zelden een noodzaak om die apparatuur in te zetten.”

Comfortabel en laagdrempelig Gebruikers van het portofoonsysteem van Comfective worden uitgerust met een modern handheld van Motorola Solutions. “Dat zijn compacte apparaten met een hoog draagcomfort. Ook dat is een voordeel dat wij bieden ten opzichte van traditionele portofonie-aanbieders. Die werken vaak met hardware die al jaren niet is aangepast en daardoor ook veel logger is in gebruik. Bovendien bieden wij aanvullende accessoires zoals draadloze headsets waardoor je het gebruikscomfort nog groter is.” Het communicatiesysteem is eventueel zelfs toegankelijk via de eigen mobiele telefoon van medewerkers, legt Marco uit. “Via een app op je telefoon is het mogelijk om mee te praten in portofoongroepen. Je loopt dan wel aan tegen de beperkingen van je telefoon: daar zit bijvoorbeeld geen fysiek knopje op om in te drukken zodat je kunt praten in de groep. Maar dat het kan geeft wel aan hoe toegankelijk en laagdrempelig dit systeem werkelijk is.” Flexibele mogelijkheden Comfective is het hele jaar door actief op meerdere soorten evenementen. Ook vaste locaties kunnen gebruik maken van de apparatuur en het flexibele communicatiesysteem. Marco: “Wij hebben veel ervaring met outdoor sportevenementen. Die worden vaak in het voor- en najaar georganiseerd. In de zomer faciliteren we onder meer festivals op tijdelijke locaties. Daarnaast kunnen evenementenlocaties als theaters, poppodia en bioscopen het hele jaar door gebruikmaken van onze diensten. Zoals gezegd kan het aantal medewerkers dat met elkaar moet kunnen communiceren op piekmomenten worden opgeschaald en ook weer worden teruggeschroefd. We bieden de mogelijkheid tot koop van Motorola Solutions-apparatuur voor kernteams die het hele jaar door gebruikmaken van portofonie. In drukke periodes kan dan aanvullende apparatuur worden bijgehuurd. We denken op alle gebied mee met onze afnemers en zorgen ervoor dat de gekozen oplossing altijd de beste is.”

“Wij faciliteren probleemloos de grootste sportevenementen van Nederland met onze apparatuur” organisator alles zelf kan beheren. Mocht er een probleem ontstaan met bijvoorbeeld inloggen op het netwerk, dan kunnen wij dat onmiddellijk op afstand oplossen.” Voor elk evenement toegankelijk De moderne portofooncommunicatie van Comfective is volgens Marco beschikbaar voor evenement van elke grootte. “Je kunt al vanaf enkele gebruikers met onze apparatuur aan de slag. Met deze plug & play oplossing is het ook heel eenvoudig om op te schalen naar meer gebruikers. Wij faciliteren probleemloos de grootste sportevenementen van Nederland met onze apparatuur. Daarbij gaat het soms tot honderden medewerkers die vlekkeloos onderling kunnen communiceren.”

YOUNGONES

ZORGELOOS OPSCHALEN VOOR JOUW EVENT VIA FREELANCE PLATFORM YOUNGONES

Pre-corona werkten zo’n achttienduizend mensen op zelfstandige basis in de evenementenindustrie. Dankzij het onderhouden van een goed netwerk sprongen zij van klus naar klus. Vanwege de stilstand in de branche switchen vele mensen, zowel vast als flex, noodgedwongen naar een andere sector. De voorzichtige evenementenzomer van 2021 bracht hierdoor al flinke personeelstekorten met zich mee. Wat zijn de verwachtingen voor 2022, en als alles weer kan, waar vind je dan (last minute) je personeel? Freelance platform YoungOnes biedt de oplossing. Een verlaten branche Door de onzekerheid van werk in de evenementensector hebben veel freelancers de branche verlaten. Dit zagen ze ook bij freelance platform YoungOnes: “Van alle klussen op ons platform, waren evenementen klussen altijd het meest populair. Toen de hele industrie door de pandemie tot stilstand kwam, zijn veel freelancers uitgeweken naar klussen in de logistiek en bezorging”, aldus Céline, accountmanager events bij YoungOnes. Een ding staat vast: de impact op de branche is groot.

Céline Lodder, Accountmanager events YoungOnes

“Doordat onze eigen medewerkers pools en die van onze uitzendpartners nog niet op volle sterkte waren, hebben wij deze op korte termijn kunnen aanvullen met freelancers via YoungOnes.”

Eventwerk blijft populair Dat freelancers via YoungOnes tijdelijk andere klussen zijn gaan doen, is volgens Céline geen slechte zaak: “We zijn blij dat ons platform hen nog steeds werk kan bieden. Op deze manier blijven ze verbonden en behoud je toch je netwerk. Daarnaast weten we dat de meeste freelancers direct weer zullen switchen naar eventwerk zodra het kan.” Daarmee doelt Céline op het feit dat 63% van de freelancers bij YoungOnes aangeeft het liefst in de evenementensector te werken. Ondanks de onzekere tijden staat de sector daarmee nog altijd in de top 3 klusvoorkeuren.

Sharon Koeslag, Planning & Event Coördinator Number 1

EBFG2022_Advertorials.indd 88

12/7/2021 10:02:00 AM

Dat event klussen ongekend populair blijven, bleek ook uit het aantal aanmeldingen voor 538 Koningsdag in 2021. “Binnen drie uur stroomden er 250 reacties binnen op het platform”, zegt Céline. “Door de aangescherpte maatregelen werd het event helaas gecanceld, een flinke domper. Maar gelukkig zit niemand bij YoungOnes ergens aan vast, en kunnen klussen last-minute worden teruggetrokken.”

“Met behulp van YoungOnes kunnen wij in het Beatrix Theater grote piekenopvangen, denk hierbij aan grote bedrijfsdiners in combinatie met Tina Turner de musical.”

Last minute opschalen Maar als alle evenementen straks echt weer losbarsten, wat dan? Voor Céline regelmatig het onderwerp van gesprek: “Veel festivalorganisatoren zitten met het probleem dat uitzendbureaus niet last minute kunnen leveren. Waar ze voorheen gebruik maakten van één soms twee uitzendbureaus, zijn dit er nu vaak meer dan acht om het personeelstekort bij te benen. Verre van ideaal, en erg tijdrovend”

Sander Boef, Hospitality Manager Jaarbeurs

Met een aantal organisatoren ging Céline in gesprek over hoe YoungOnes hierbij kan helpen. En dat deed het platform. Zo kampte AdExpo B.V. eerder met een landelijk personeelstekort: “Dankzij freelancers via YoungOnes hebben wij toch voldoende bezetting gehad op beurslocaties door heel Nederland”, vertelt Niek Lodewijks, Teamleider planning AdExpo B.V.

“Rondom de drukte voor de wedstrijddagen, geeft YoungOnes ons ademruimte.” Jordy Schep, Manager Catering Club

TEKST: JAN MEIJROOS

ZAP CONCEPTS INTRODUCEERT MyZAP

ZAP CONCEPTS STAAT NAAST DE ORGANISATOR Energie-expert Paul Schurink en zijn bedrijf ZAP Concepts is een klinkende naam in de eventindustrie. Met zijn energiebesparende aanpak, gevat in het Smart Power Plan, is hij in rap tempo Europa en de rest van de wereld aan het veroveren. De Olympische Spelen, ID&T, Extrema en Coldplay behoren inmiddels tot de vaste klantenkring van zijn nieuwe tool MyZAP.

inds 2011 adviseert Schurink de evenementenbranche op het gebied van energie en duurzaamheid met zijn bedrijf ZAP Concepts. Daarvoor was Schurink twee decennia lang werkzaam bij een aggregatenverhuurbedrijf en werkte hij al met grote nationale en internationale partijen. “Ik ben al mijn hele leven met energie en stroom bezig”, zegt Schurink. “Tijdens mijn loopbaan is mijn passie voor energie, duurzaamheid en events ontstaan. Toen ik in 2011 met mijn eigen bedrijf begon, wilde ik náást de organisator gaan staan om te helpen. Door efficiënter om te gaan met stroom bespaart een organisatie op kosten én het is duurzamer. Toentertijd een vrij nieuw thema, inmiddels is duurzaamheid bij iedere organisatie on top of mind”.

velen ‘too good to be true.’ Maar toen onze adviezen eerst bij Extrema en vrij snel daarna door ID&T en DGTL werden overgenomen en in de praktijk uitgevoerd werden, ging het snel. Zo konden we onszelf steeds vaker bewijzen en groeiden onze naam en expertise evenredig.” “Door onze adviezen wordt bijvoorbeeld veel diesel bespaart. Het budget dat daarmee gewonnen wordt, kan een organisatie in zijn eigen zak steken, of men gebruikt dit om biodiesel in te slaan. Dat is uiteindelijk aan de organisatie al zullen wij altijd dat laatste adviseren.” MyZAP introductie op Eurosonic 2022 wordt een spannend jaar voor ZAP Concepts en een belangrijke nieuwe stap voor het bedrijf. Dan wordt namelijk MyZAP geïntroduceerd op Eurosonic. Het betreft een nieuwe online softwaretool waarmee klanten voortaan zélf stroomplannen kunnen maken. Na inventarisatie van de stroom van een event de oplevering van een geheel custom Smart Power Plan gerealiseerd wordt in maximaal 72 uur. Schurink: “We hebben de tool uiteraard al uitvoerig getest op diverse evenementen en we zijn erg blij met het resultaat. Het verzamelen van stroomgegevens van leveranciers is namelijk nog nooit zo makkelijk geweest. MyZAP is zeer gebruiksvriendelijk en eenvoudig, en als organisator krijg je razendsnel inzicht én controle over het stroomverbruik.”

50% minder stroom nodig op evenementen Inmiddels is Schurink uitgegroeid tot een absolute expert op het gebied van tijdelijke energievoorziening, duurzaamheid en innovaties. ZAP Concepts voert voor evenementen en festivals een zogenaamde duurzaamheidsscan uit. Met behulp van een Smart Power Plan kan ZAP Concepts het totale stroomverbruik verbeteren door het meten en beoordelen van het huidige stroomverbruik, het verzamelen van aanvullende informatie, het implementeren van hernieuwbare energiebronnen en het ontwikkelen van een strategisch duurzaamheidsplan waarmee stroomverbruik kan worden geoptimaliseerd. “Toen wij net begonnen, was er veel scepsis”, lacht Schurink. “Wij stelden dat evenementen soms wel met 50% minder stroom toekonden. Dat was volgens

De resultaten van events waar getest is, leveren mooie cijfers. De tool zorgt ervoor dat stroomkosten worden geminimaliseerd en CO2-uitstoot in sommige gevallen tot wel 80% gereduceerd kan worden. Zo wordt bijvoorbeeld aangegeven waar generatoren kunnen worden vervangen voor groene batterijen. Bij grote events is het slimme

expert’. We hopen hiermee dat we de duurzame stroomvoorziening op deze manier steeds meer kunnen automatiseren. Uiteraard gaan we deze software nog veel verder door ontwikkelen en blijven we klaar staan met advies voor onze klanten.”

Paul Schurink

Middelgrote en kleine partijen over de streep trekken De doelen en trends voor de komende jaren heeft Schurink scherp op het vizier. Zo bemerkt Schurink de laatste jaren een toename van groene batterijen van partijen als Greener en GreenBattery. Schurink: “Dat zijn inmiddels echte bedrijven geworden, die zijn meegegroeid met de verduurzaming van de industrie.” Daarnaast krijgt de uitbreiding van MyZAP topprioriteit de komende jaren. “Onze software gaan we blijvend uitbreiden zodat we steeds meer features kunnen toevoegen. Daarbij moet je denken aan bijvoorbeeld het inlezen van weersvoorspelling en de impact daarvan op het stroomgebruik, of het doorvoeren van last-minute wijzigingen.” Maar het allerbelangrijkste vindt Schurink het meekrijgen van kleine en middelgrote events en theaters: “De hele grote festivals en evenementen zijn al om. Maar kleinere partijen denken misschien onterecht ‘dit is niks voor mij, een softwaretool als deze is veel te duur.’ Die hebben het mis. We gaan bewust verschillende licenties aanbieden waarbij ook de kleinere partijen met eenvoudigere stroomplannen uit de voeten kunnen. Want ook daar vallen nog heel veel kosten te besparen.”

stroomplan binnen maximaal 72 uur in kaart gebracht, bij middelgrote en kleinere events is dat veel sneller. Soms al binnen een paar minuten tot een uur. MyZAP werkt als volgt: alle leveranciers die gebruik maken van het stroomnetwerk van een evenement kunnen via de tool gemakkelijk hun stroomwensen selecteren en invoeren in MyZAP.

CONTACTLESS OUT OF THE CORONA CRISIS What the Dutch events summer will look like in 2022 is anyone’s guess. The fact is that we can say that the corona crisis has been a huge catalyst in the field of payments. Cashless is becoming the norm in everyday life, as well as on festival and event grounds and in concert halls.

t should come as no surprise that the number of online payments across all sectors has grown enormously over the past year. People were at home and mainly placed orders online. Basic transactions, such as groceries that have been delivered, are increasingly paid cashless. But even when people did leave the house, fewer and fewer transactions were paid in cash. This is mainly because in the corona communications, we were advised to make more cashless transactions. This is partly because the WHO suggested that cash may carry a wide range of microscopic organisms and infections. On the other hand, because this way, it was easier to keep a distance of one and a half metres and not to have direct contact with the person with whom a transaction is concluded.

Potential health risk

Cash payment methods have long been a reliable source of support for many people that they did not like to get rid of. This has also been clear in the live entertainment industry. Visitors attach great importance to being able to pay for their drinks in cash, or with a festival coin (effectively exchanged cash, as was also necessary in the past when travelling abroad). This despite the many smart cashless solutions that have been introduced in the events industry in recent years. The corona crisis has ensured that bank notes and coins have suddenly become a potential health risk rather than a reliable and clear means of payment. This has given various contactless payment solutions a huge boost and we will also notice this at events sites and in concert halls.

Contactless growth

The most visible development is the increased use of contactless payment, either with the NFC chip in a debit card or with a digital wallet installed on almost every modern smartphone. Payment provider Ayden has seen the use of contactless payments increase by 46% in the past year. Depending on the sector, the use of cash has decreased between 20 and 30%. The use of digital wallets (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay) has certainly grown enormously. The recently published Ayden Retail Report states that without the virus, the switch to large-scale digital payments would have taken years.

Working infrastructure

We can already see this change clearly taking shape at festivals. Best Kept Secret was one of the first festivals to make steps on a large scale years ago. First with a payment chip on the visitor’s wristband, then with contactless payments (with debit card or digital wallet). Festivals such as Amsterdam Open Air,

EB Live Feature

Milkshake, Soenda and Tuckerville or stadiums such as De Grolsch Veste have firmly taken the step towards contactless payments. The fact that coins still have added value and represent a significant turnover and that they are a safe backup in case the technology fails has been argued several times by various parties in EB Live. Still, the trend seems unstoppable. “Today’s technology is so much better and the infrastructure is ready for it”, says Sjoerd Wynia of Amsterdam Open Air. “With the arrival of contactless debit cards, we actually see no reason not to do it.” Joris Coenen of Soenda: “The target group is so used to debit card payments. In fact, it’s rather odd that we still pay with coins in this day and age, with all the technological developments.”

Unnecessary cost item

The development has been a reason for events payment service Moneycomb to stop offering plastic coins as a method of payment as of this year. The company fully focuses on digital payment solutions for the sake of efficiency, sustainability and hygiene. According to the company, right now, about 20% of the turnover will disappear by removing coins, but the payment method is ‘really outdated’. “Consumers pay for what they eat and drink and therefore never come home with unused coins. This makes the system transparent and fair,” says Michael van Elswijk of Moneycomb, who also argues that coins are an unnecessary cost item. His colleague Guido van

12/7/2021 10:12:12 AM

‘The festival coin is still the most trusted and most used payment method’ Michiel Fransen den Berk also touches on the aspect of sustainability. “Large festivals order up to 1.5 million plastic coins per event. Every time. We’d like to contribute to a better future. Continuing with these old-fashioned plastic coins after a global pandemic really feels like a step backwards and outdated.”

Disagreement

Dutchband director Michiel Fransen shakes his head when he reads the statements of his colleagues. “When people talk about cashless, they often forget the ultimate cashless payment method: the festival coin. I can tell you that this is still the most trusted, most valued and most used payment method at events. The fact is that in the coming years, the vast majority of events will certainly not make the switch to complicated and, moreover, expensive digital alternatives. Certainly not after all the misery that we as an industry were faced with over the past year and a half. We simply don’t have the money to invest, and it concerns a considerable amount, for example, setting up a vulnerable data infrastructure and making it secure.” Fransen immediately dismisses MoneyComb’s criticism about the durability of coins. “It is highly odd to call coins as a means of payment ‘really outdated’. Moreover, it is at odds with the current and future situation. They’re right in saying that major festivals order millions of coins from Dutchband every year. Surely they don’t believe those coins are thrown away at the end of the event! If they do, I can tell you that this is not the case. Just like any organiser, sustainability is a top priority for us. In addition to our return system, everyone at Dutchband is busy realising our ambition to make coins from 100% recycled raw materials next year. We are already at more than 60%. Coins are a sustainable means of payment, now and in the future.”

The director of Dutchband emphasises that the digital payment option can be an alternative and that there is interest in it. “That’s not surprising, because people are always interested in new techniques. For the time being, however, I’m thinking of solutions that are easy to implement, such as PIN terminals. We also facilitate this and it’s is a transparent way to pay which visitors are familiar with. Of course, behind the scenes, Dutchband is also working on future solutions. At the moment and for the foreseeable future, however, the coins remain dominant. And that’s no surprise. The vast majority of organisers have been using this type of payment method for 25 years and know the system as safe, intuitive, reliable and easy to use. Why make things difficult for yourself?”

Disappearing cash

In addition to contactless payments via NFC, the QR code has also taken off in times of corona, across all sectors. For example, the Rijksmuseum has recently made an accelerated transition to a completely contactless visitor experience through a combination of contactless payments and QR codes. In addition, QR is increasingly being used for various parking solutions in the country, something the events industry can also benefit from. Conversely, you see that during corona, QR innovations designed for the events industry, such as the mobile order solution with which CM.com pioneered at Lowlands in 2019, have found their way into the regular catering industry. Lubee also supplies a proven QR payment application. “If necessary, we can deliver this system to the venue in no time,” says Lubee owner Boaz Verwater. “As a specialist in temporary payment solutions, we offer 24/7 support and, if desired, we can deliver within three hours.” Apart from all this, the Tikkie phenomenon has also become an integrated part of daily payment transactions and has truly taken off in the past year. This allows event visitors to settle their accounts completely contactless. “Before corona, my colleagues and I thought we’d never live to see the end of cash,” Berend Jan Beugel of the Dutch Payments Association recently stated in the AD newspaper. “But because of corona, cash payments are declining so quickly that it has caught us by surprise. So who knows, we may still live to see the day.” ◾

TWELVE

‘KLAAR OM TE KNALLEN’ Een nieuwe hardware-oplossing, verdere professionalisering van de organisatie en investeringen in nieuwe, slimme en strategische partners. Het zijn slechts enkele van de ontwikkelingen binnen Twelve. Twelve’s nieuwe COO Janwillem van Leeuwen kijkt dan ook uit naar de start van het nieuwe festivalseizoen.

et de komst van Janwillem van Leeuwen is Twelve klaar voor de toekomst. De nieuwe COO, die begin juni aan boord kwam bij het bedrijf, heeft de laatste maanden een enthousiast en strijdvaardig team ontmoet. “Er heerst een bepaalde winnaarsmentaliteit en een tomeloze energie”, zegt hij trots. Binnen dat team worden de nodige voorbereidingen getroffen voor het komende festivalseizoen. Zo is er de afgelopen tijd hard gewerkt aan een nieuwe hardware-oplossing. “Het komende festivalseizoen lanceren we een kassa- en betaaldevice in één apparaat”, vertelt Van Leeuwen. “De kenner klinkt dit wellicht bekend in de oren en denkt meteen aan onze Pinkassa. Het klopt dat ons nieuwe product hier kenmerken van heeft, maar dit is echt een next-level versie. En die is het best te omschrijven als een álles-in-één device.” Dit nieuwe apparaat is snel, schaalbaar en mobiel inzetbaar, zegt Van Leeuwen. Niet alleen handig om de doorloopsnelheid te verhogen, maar ook kostenbesparend, zo verzekert hij. Op dit moment worden de laatste tests uitgevoerd, zodat het product er direct staat als het festivalseizoen 2022 losbarst. “Dat gebeurt bij partijen die actief zijn buiten de evenementensector. Zij testen de oplossing op aspecten die belangrijk zijn voor de evenementenwereld, zoals snelheid, gebruiksgemak en omloopsnelheid. En de berichten zijn positief. Ik denk dan ook dat we onze klanten

volgend jaar een heel mooi product aan kunnen gaan bieden. Wat ons betreft wordt dit dé nieuwe hit voor events.” De juiste partner voor partners Naast hardware blijft Twelve ook in partnerships investeren. Zo is samen met Adyen een oplossing ontwikkeld om offline pinnen mogelijk te maken in de evenementenwereld. “Het gebeurt namelijk nog steeds regelmatig dat de dataverbinding op een evenement wegvalt. Op dat moment wil je niet voor verrassingen komen te staan en verkopen mislopen. Dat mag gewoon niet gebeuren.” Met offline pinnen kan de operatie gewoon doorgaan en wordt omzetverlies voorkomen. Van Leeuwen: “Adyen is voor dit product onze ideale partner gebleken. Niet alleen vanwege hun flexibiliteit, maar ook omdat zij samen met ons zijn opgetrokken tijdens hun ontwikkelingsfase.” Naast offline pinnen levert Twelve ook Connect, een oplossing om dataconnectiviteit op locatie te garanderen op locatie. Via een privaat mobiel netwerk kan Connect de cashless betaaloplossingen, front of house, het productieteam en eventueel zelfs livestreams van een betrouwbare internetverbinding voorzien. “Dankzij dit soort producten kunnen we klanten nog beter ontzorgen.” Bovendien benadrukt Van Leeuwen dat alle producten van Twelve samen met de klant worden ontwikkeld. “Zij zijn onze partners én voelsprieten in de markt. Aan de hand van hun wensen gaan wij aan

de slag met nieuwe oplossingen, ontwikkelen ze door of gaan we op zoek naar de juiste partnerships om ons daarin te ondersteunen. Die sterke relatie met onze klanten is wat mij betreft dan ook een van de krachten van ons bedrijf.”

ervaring in de evenementensector. “Sommigen van hen vijf tot tien jaar, dus ze kennen het klappen van de zweep.” Dit team wordt ondersteund door een groep jonge, eager mensen die on-site het projectmanagement doen, de zogenaamde ‘boots on the ground’. Van Leeuwen: “Iedereen zit nu op de juiste plek en ik durf dan ook te zeggen dat we een geweldig team hebben staan om volgend jaar onze klanten te bedienen.”

The next chapter Twelve heeft veel ervaring in de evenementensector en levert een compleet pakket aan oplossingen aan klanten als de Johan Cruijf ArenA, DGTL, Best Kept Secret, De Toppers en Valhalla. “Dat zorgt ervoor dat je op ons kunt vertrouwen en bouwen, net als op onze producten die bewezen werken. Wij weten namelijk wat er voor het succesvol organiseren van een festival nodig is. We zijn de grootste partij in festivals en de enige die dit soort grote festivals kunnen dragen.” Toch zijn er altijd mogelijkheden om klanten beter te kunnen servicen, ziet Van Leeuwen. “Deels door verdere automatisering, maar zeker ook door onze 120 man aan personeel nog beter in te zetten. Zij hebben alle kennis en kunde, maar de vraag was of we die capaciteiten nog beter konden benutten.” De afgelopen periode is daarom een kennishub opgezet. Daarin zitten onder meer projectmanagers met veel

Klaar voor 2022 En volgens hem kan dat moment wel eens sneller komen dan men denkt. “Voorheen trapten we het festivalseizoen in april af, maar ik denk dat we volgend jaar al voor Pasen van start zullen gaan. Je merkt gewoon aan alle kanten dat iedereen in de branche weer wil beginnen. Dat zagen we al tijdens Amsterdam Dance Event, wat een mooi voorproefje was van hoe het had kunnen zijn. Naast ADE hebben we het afgelopen jaar ook heel mooie evenementen mogen draaien met STRAF_WERK, Elrow en Secret Project.” Waar wil Van Leeuwen volgend jaar op terugkijken? “Op 250 mooie festivals die we hebben gedraaid en een succesvolle uitrol van onze nieuwe cashless betaaloplossing en hardware. Maar vooral op een seizoen waarin Twelve een grote stap heeft gezet in de evenementenbusiness, ook in het buitenland. Wat mij betreft zijn we echt klaar om te gaan knallen!”

“Er heerst een bepaalde winnaarsmentaliteit en een tomeloze energie bij Twelve”

NOORDERZON

WILNIS FESTIVAL edition 37

Experimental, Literature, World

edition 32

Four days of festival for young and old with various activities . During these days sports activities are organized, there is a fair while enjoying a bite, a drink and live music. On the festival ground in ‘Het Speelwoud’ there is a funfair, a party tent and a brown café during all four days. In addition, there is a large terrace where food is also available. Through the day you can visit the terrain free of charge, in the evening an entrance fee is levied. (This does not apply to the funfair).

Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival Groningen is the somewhat curious combination of a cutting-edge international art festival and a large-scale summer fest for 135,000 visitors. The heart of the festival is the idyllic Noorderplantsoen (a city park) where, for eleven summer days, a freely accessible festival village appears almost out of nowhere to provide a setting for theatre, dance, music, literature and visual art in combination with eating, drinking and social encounters.

TICKETING

IN THE POST-CORONA ERA With the live entertainment industry slowly picking up again, many industry parties are eagerly looking to the future, while simultaneously licking the wounds caused by the crisis. This also applies to the ticketing industry, which was innovating rapidly until the beginning of 2020 and came to a fairly abrupt halt during the processing of transfers and refunds. Now, they can start recovering too. Five expectations for the post-Covid era.

EB Live Feature

01) Consumer confidence must be regained

Although consumers long for (live) entertainment, the confidence knock caused by the crisis has not yet been completely removed. The wavering government policy that has forced shows and events to be cancelled overnight in recent months has not done the industry any good. Confidence is slowly returning. Major new shows are back in business again, says Jakob H. Lund of Ticketmaster. “For example, concerts by the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Guns N’ Roses and major festivals, after all this time, the public is really looking forward to it.” Henk Schuit of Eventim Nederland has some reservations. “The offer is, of course, still limited at the moment. Big events such as Ed Sheeran and Rammstein and suchlike are no problem, but people have become a little more cautious about smaller concerts or theatre performances. Tickets for the Christmas period are being snapped up again. People want to go out with their families. But if you look across the board, we’re still not fully back at the old level yet.”

‘People have become a little more cautious about smaller concerts or theatre performances’ 02) Ticketers reinventing their style

The crisis has certainly accelerated processes of renewal and further development. For example, Ticketmaster has used the past few months to start working in regions worldwide. “Ultimately, that was always the plan but in the end, this turned out to be the right time to put our shoulders to the wheel and move on,” says Jakob H. Lund of Ticketmaster. Eventim has also expanded considerably in recent months. According to Henk Schuit, the Dutch branch, by being ‘conservative’, has not had to rely on the head office and has proven to be extremely solid. In addition to entering new markets such as America and Asia, for the parent company, the past few months were dominated by various acquisitions and joint ventures that improve the overall product and strengthen its market position. “I should add we’re not flogging a dead horse,” Schuit laughs. “Far from it, in all cases these are solid parties with whom we take future-oriented steps.” A party such as Stager has recently improved the application so that ticketing, planning and marketing tools can be used more intuitively and flexibly as one package. “The past year and a half have proven that our customers need this flexibility,” says Stagers Mike van Gaasbeek, whose company is not only dependent on ticketing revenue.

See Tickets has also seen the needs of some partners shift due to the crisis and has invested more in projects outside or parallel to the events industry, such as the museum and amusement market. Marijke van den Bosch of See Tickets: “This was the time to optimise and look at opportunities such as a new segment.”

‘The past year and a half have proven that our customers need this flexibility’ 03) Digital solutions make ticketing more personal

The previous point is a process that was actually already started before the corona crisis. From these new forms, ticketing is slowly but surely becoming ‘more’ than just the entrance to a festival, concert, event or theatre performance. It becomes an integrated part of the customer experience and as such also a means of communication. “Whereas you used to be able to reach the target group via e-mail or social media, you now achieve the highest conversion by personalising the message and making it as attractive as possible for the target group of the event,” says Gilbert Gooijers of CM.com, which acquired Global Ticket last year and incorporated YourTicketProvider this year. “Those who know their

‘The personal bond has been something of great importance during the crisis’

an artist together. What I do expect, however, is that new forms will emerge. For example, a promotional aspect, artists who set up a stream especially for ticket holders of an actual show so that ticket sales start at an early stage. Or a hybrid form, where people who missed out on a sold-out show can buy tickets to watch at home.”

visitors and what they find important can also maintain 1-on-1 contact instead of a general marketing e-mail or social media post.” That personal bond is something that has been of great importance during the crisis to allow ticket holders to hold on to their tickets. For the future, it is something that more organisers are focusing on and for which the ticketers they work with are developing solutions.

‘ You achieve the highest conversion by personalising the message’ 04) New initiatives will arise

During the corona period, other forms of concerts have arisen. Streaming in particular has taken off and consumers have quickly become accustomed to buying tickets for events to be watched at home. Examples include the successful shows of DI-RECT, OG3NE and - unpaid, admittedly - The Streamers. “I don’t expect this to be a permanent development,” says Henk Schuit. “At least, not in the way it has taken off in recent months. Contact with the audience is very important for artists, performing without an audience is not what drives them. And in the end, the audience also wants that shared experience to see

‘I don’t expect streaming concerts to be a permanent development’ 05) Ticketing becomes more secure

Before the corona crisis hit, the resale discussion around ticketing was a hot topic. At the time, a new ‘Weet Waar Je Koopt!’ ticket awareness campaign was planned and that campaign is expected to be rolled out this winter. “Google has really screwed up the online ticketing market, I really want to say that out loud,” said Henk Schuit. “By invariably admitting secondary ticketers to the top of the search results, the market has deteriorated enormously and consumers are duped by unknowingly buying tickets that are overpriced and sometimes even invalid. For a healthy future for our industry, this must be reduced and we’re definitely doing everything we can to stop it.” It seems the coming year will be a breakthrough year in that respect. The big ticketers are rolling out their own resale platforms, which largely curb illegal resale because the QR codes of the digital tickets are only generated shortly before the event and tickets can be resold only via their own platforms (Eventim.PASS or the Ticketmaster app, for example). This makes the ticketing market easier and safer for consumers. ◾

If 1970s or 1980s rock brings back good memories for you, then this new festival of classics is a must. As organisers, if we are often disappointed by a relentless commercial thirst or an evolving multiplication of various festivals, our GARF must essentially revolve around an old school theme: the single stage. Breathers between shows. Adapted schedules. Liège is a nice, ebullient and welcoming city with a Latin spirit and at the end of August, it will become the Mecca for classic rock fans.

TOWARDS A GREENER LIVE INDUSTRY Heads of government worldwide are diligently looking for solutions to fight climate change and recently presented and signed various plans at the Glasgow climate change conference. These same ambitions also exist in the live industry, which is increasingly emerging as a frontrunner when it comes to self-regulation.

n November 2019, the news that Coldplay would stop touring came as a bombshell. The British band wanted to develop a carbon-neutral tour instead. ‘We’re taking time to see how our tour can be actively beneficial,’ singer Chris Martin said at the time. ‘All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job.’ He also said that all artists need to proactively consider climate impact. Meanwhile, the band has announced its Music Of The Spheres World Tour, a tour that will be visiting Europe and the Americas.

Measuring impact

All of Coldplay’s concerts on the tour will be approached with maximum sustainability in mind. Fans are also made part of this, such as by urging them to use environmentally friendly travel options, such as bikes and public transport. They can buy sustainably and ethically manufactured merchandise and will not be charged for drinking water to prevent plastic bottle waste. Fans are asked to bring their own cups and bottles to the venue and fill and refill them there.

DGTL In the Netherlands, the DGTL techno festival is very serious about reducing its ecological footprint. The organisers operate a zero waste policy, meaning that all waste produced is converted into compost within 24 hours. The resulting compost is subsequently donated to farms. Research by Germany’s Green Music Initiative shows that venues and fans are the biggest carbon emitters during a tour. These two factors produce as much as 67% of the total carbon emissions during a tour. If you zoom in on the venues, you can see that many do not use green power and still ask fans to show a paper ticket. Aside from that, venues often still use single-use plastic for food and beverages and do not have any organic products on offer. On top of that, they often overlook the environmental impact of merchandise and promotional material, as well as overnight stays for the band and their crew.

Green power

When it comes to energy, Coldplay and their engineering team are putting a lot of effort into ensuring a green power supply. Every concert venue on the tour is asked to procure green power and fitted with energy-capturing kinetic floors and static bikes to enable fans to generate power. The energy captured and generated is stored in mobile, rechargeable Wattsun

batteries. ‘Green power from the grid is stored in refurbished car batteries from the BMW i3 EV,’ says Paul Schurink of ZAP Concepts B.V., which has extensive experience with sustainable energy supplies. Together with his team, Schurink works closely together with the Coldplay team to make an energy plan and implement it for the tour. ‘We are currently working on a concept where these car batteries are incorporated into flightcases, much like the ones used to transport stadium speakers. Weighing 2,000kg, they are just about within the weight limit, but we think we can make them even lighter, down to about 1,500kg.’ The process of going from grey energy sources to renewable energy is a bold one. ‘Coldplay has raised the bar considerably and I’m sure they didn’t realise in 2019 when they set their goals what kind of challenges they would come up against. But that’s okay, because little by little we’re getting closer to making it happen,’ says Schurink proudly. The new approach also requires the creative and engineering team to adopt a different thought process. ‘Energy efficiency comes first. The light show

is planned much more smartly and will not continuously need peak capacity. The batteries we use can then easily supply the required power. If someone now suggests something that will place a much bigger burden on the energy supply system, the idea is immediately shot down,’ Schurink says laughingly.

Halving

Ultimately, the aim is for the concepts developed by ZAP Concepts and the Coldplay team to halve the direct carbon emissions from energy consumption. ‘Personally, I estimate that the total carbon reduction will come in at around eighty percent,’ says Schurink. ‘On tour, you will inevitably also play venues where the power supply unexpectedly seems not to meet the requirements. When that happens, you cannot blindly assume that the Wattsun batteries and car battery packs will be able to cover all power needs. In such cases, which I hope will be rare, we will have to fall back on diesel generators.’ If that happens, a renewable die-

sel alternative called HVO will be used. ‘But we hope, of course, that we’ll never have to use this scenario.’

Sustainable aviation fuel

A world tour involves a lot of travel to get to certain locations. Air travel is inevitable. For their tour, Coldplay has committed to flying commercial as much as possible, while also paying a surcharge to use sustainable aviation fuel. In some countries, and where available, travel over land will be on EVs. All travel will also be offset in other ways as much as possible. For every concert ticket sold, for example, the band will have one tree planted. The band will also invest 10 percent of the proceeds from the tour in projects such as ClientEarth and The Ocean Cleanup. Other organisations that can expect financial support from Coldplay are Sea Shepherd, the Sustainable Food Trust, and Climeworks. The goals that Coldplay has attached to their world tour are no empty promises, they assure. In order to

PIONEERS Radiohead has been pioneering sustainability since 2007 when they started to keep track of their emissions. From that year onwards, they have scheduled their gigs only in cities with a good public transport network, while also giving fans who travelled to their concerts on public transport first dibs on tickets. On top of that, they rented their sound system, camera sets, and light sets locally in Europe and the US, so that they did not have to fly their gear everywhere, they brought only 12 guitars on their tour, and their lorries and tour bus were powered by biofuel.

alternatives. Del Naja in The Guardian: ‘We’re messaging the fact that there’s a climate catastrophe out there but we don’t know what to do about it.’ In that same paper, Professor Carly McLachlan, who led the research, says that the report is all about ‘bringing together a sense of the scale and urgency’ of the work that needs to be done and trying to set new industry standards. ‘We’ve been met with a lot of enthusiasm in the sector and lots of artists are already doing lots of it. When people make a lot of those adaptations it starts to become normal practice, for example, to think about routing a tour from a carbon point of view.’

Green Rider

Coldplay is not alone in its mission to decarbonise track and validate the impact of these goals, the band has appointed a full-time Director of Sustainability and is working with researchers and climate experts from Imperial College London’s Grantham Institute of Climate Change and the Environment. This group of scientists will identify and analyse both the positive and negative aspects of Coldplay’s tour.

Massive Attack

Coldplay is not alone in its mission to decarbonise their trade. Massive Attack also works for a greener live industry. This English band recently launched a plan for major concert promoters to enable artists to make their travel as ‘green’ and carbon-neutral as possible. Written in partnership with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, this report once again underlines artists’ responsibility. Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja: ‘Bands should rethink their use of private jets and the amount of kit and entourage they bring on tour.’ This is why Massive Attack will be taking the train as much as possible from now on. Aside from that, their focus in stage design is now more on creating a platform that is easier to transport. This will not only reduce transport needs, it also requires fewer materials. ‘We are also looking more closely at what gear we can rent locally. That, too, saves tonnes of emissions.’ But venues and festivals should also make a greater effort. They should be quicker in pivoting towards green energy, while also calling on concertgoers and revellers to choose the most environmentally friendly travel option, such as by actively promoting public transport

Earlier this year, United Independent Music Agencies (UIMA) launched the Green Rider. They, too, are looking to give green initiatives in the live industry a major boost. The rider aims to slash the ecological footprint on different fronts, including by, there it is again, flying less. But also by changing eating habits, generating less waste, and, of course, cutting energy consumption. Every year, the over 500 acts that UIMA represents across the globe play over 15,000 gigs and go on over 18,400 flights, 7,500 of which are under 750km. ‘Especially these short-haul flights can potentially be replaced by alternative travel options such as the train,’ they claim. ‘It would see artists cut their carbon emissions by up to 80% per kilometre travelled, producing a 10% reduction of total travel emissions per flight compared to the 2019 reference year.’

Green Manifesto

UIMA does not look only at what artists can do to reduce their ecological footprint. The Green Rider also aims to get venues and festivals to adopt a more future-driven mindset. ‘UIMA hopes that more artists and agencies across the world will embrace and add to this initiative, so that the music industry will collectively move towards a cleaner future.’ The Green Rider is part of the Green Manifesto that UIMA is currently working on and that will target the complete music supply chain. From cloud services at green server parks to an EU rail card for artists much like the Interrail Pass, allowing musicians and bands to pay a flat fee to travel to venues across Europe using the international rail network. Other spearheads include reuse (no more single-use products), zero waste, green energy, and using animal products only as an exception. On this latter point, Coldplay is leading the way: during the Music of the Spheres World Tour, band members and crew will primarily eat locally produced vegetarian food and look for alternatives to meat and dairy products.

We launched OFF Festival not to win friends, but to intrigue and inspire people and to provoke discussion. The history of our Festival is made up of hundreds, perhaps thousands of testimonies to the fact that music changes people. People, in turn, change the world. OFF Festival is more than just a musical event, it’s a way of life, one that flies in the face of current trends and stays true to itself, and the ethos of organiser Artur Rojek is firmly aimed at supporting new and ambitious music.

Gothic fans from all over the world gather annually in Hildesheim/ Drispenstedt to spent a weekend among like-minded people. They enjoy music from Gothic to Electro to medieval to rock, the fancy stalls and shopping oppotunities, the medieval market, the fashion show and most importantly the relaxed atmosphere among friends.

Organised by a passionate team, the festival grew so much that “Rocco” had to move twice until the suitable capacity for about 24.000 visitors and campers could be provided.

CONCERNS OVER EVENT SAFETY

Well before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, various Dutch companies in the security and crowd management domain warned about problems that could arise as a result of the increasing number of events organised across the Netherlands in combination with lagging availability of qualified security personnel. With the 2022 events season looking like it will mark a return to pre-Covid volumes in terms of the number of events, this problem now rears its head again.

uring the Covid-19 pandemic, many security firms took a big hit and saw pressure on labour availability increase. During the last full events season (2019), there was already a shortage of 1,000 security guards on a national scale in the Netherlands. At the time, security firms were able to cope with these shortages through smart and ergonomic staff scheduling, which is a tactic they can resort to again this year. ‘ It is all about taking a painstaking look at where to deploy which workers,’ says Robbert Stolwijk of SKILLS Crowd Management. ‘Scheduling the available staff in a smart way is becoming more and more important.’ While the use of technology and innovation may also offer a solution, Michael Story of Safe and Sound and RT Europe explains that security firms use technology, such as their Sky Star 180 surveillance aerostat, primarily as additional support. ‘We’re tech firm, not a security firm. With technologically advanced solutions, we can add value for specialist security firms that work at festivals. We’re certainly not here to replace them.’

Increasing scarcity

And so we still face the issue of a lack of qualified staff. Due to the crisis, employees of reputable security firms went looking for other work. The resulting shortages will be less easy to absorb during the 2022 season (and beyond) if this outflow of staff continues. The

security industry will, therefore, be confronted with increasing labour scarcity over the coming years, along with the rising costs of bringing in on-call workers. At the same time, there are also voices in the police claiming that the police’s capacity cannot be stretched any further. This was, as early as in 2019, reason for Dutch police and justice minister Grapperhaus to call for a reduction in the number of festivals, citing as the specific reason that ‘checking visitors for drugs had become impracticable for the police.’ This claim triggered ill feeling among security firms and event organisers alike, because checks at the gate are arranged and paid for by the festivals themselves. Even so, during the largely failed 2021 season, festivals and events were cancelled in various municipalities because there was not enough police available. The Awakenings festival was one of the most prominent ones to be cancelled. ‘They say there is not enough

‘Safety risks must never take a backseat to the fun we want people to have’

Super complex issue

Gerard van Duykeren, the CEO of TSC Crowd Management, calls the challenges the industry faces ‘a super complex issue.’ ‘The current legislation does not always stipulate exactly what is considered to be security work. In my view, you should look at the different security roles and how people are asked to fill those roles. You’re dealing with security work, roles relating to emergency response at events, and roles that are more service-oriented. Going forward, we have to develop into a security organisation where there is a balance between all three roles. The result will then be that you grow towards being a better security organisation. An organisation that is also transparent towards the authorities. In addition to that, this approach also better equips you to provide the services that visitors demand. What is happening today is that everything that seems vaguely related to security is lumped together. This does justice neither to the actual laws nor to how things are in real life. In 2017, legislation governing the Netherlands’ security regions was implemented, specifying clear requirements for the basic emergency response capacity at events. We have translated these rules to a training course. That model is used within TSC’s vision on what things should be like in the future.

and risk management with respect to persons, objects, and operations, representing the vast majority of the roughly 26,000 security workers who are active in the Netherlands. Put together by the organisation’s Events and Hospitality Security section, the industry vision addresses the bottlenecks that currently exist in the industry, as well as looking at possible solutions. ‘Governments often lack adequate focus on the safety and security risks in (night-time) hospitality and at events. There is too little insight into the quality of security personnel and collaboration with the police and other authorities. On top of that, security is often low on the list of priorities,’ according to Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche at the presentation of the vision document.

Different attitude

police capacity available, but we have already proven in the past that festivals of this size can go ahead with very little police presence,’ said the Awakenings organisers on social media in response to the local authority’s decision to cancel their festival, referring to the 2018 edition, which went ahead during a police strike.

Vision document

The fact that policy capacity fell short during what can only be classed as a very quiet events season is not a good sign, because the shortage of actual dedicated security personnel was not even an issue yet during that season. In late October, the sector organisation for the Dutch security industry, Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche, presented its ‘Vision on Event and Hospitality Security: Reliable, Committed, FutureProof’. Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche looks after the interests of companies that specialise in security

‘It’s great that so many events are organised in the Netherlands and that many cities have a bustling nightlife, but safety risks must never take a backseat to the fun we want people to have,’ said Ard van der Steur (chairman of Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche) and Taco van Luyten (chairman of Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche’s Events and Hospitality Security section) at the signing of the vision document, which has been published on Veiligheidsbranche.nl. The document calls for a change in clients’ attitude in how they approach security firms (which want to provide security as an end product and do not want to be used as private employment companies that supply security guards). It also calls for better scheduling of events and better collaboration between police and security firms. Aside from that, Nederlandse Veiligheidsbranche calls for the outdated Private Security Organizations and Detective Agencies Act to be amended urgently. Amendments should, among other things, enable closer collaboration across the security industry. ‘The events and hospitality security sector has to innovate and their security solutions must go beyond merely deploying security guards,’ the document reads towards the end. ‘Development is needed to keep up with the changing environment and the dynamics and needs of events, not only now but also in the future.’

SINSAL SON ESTRELLA GALICIA

KALTERN POP FESTIVAL

Sinsal Son Estrella Galicia is one of the most singular festivals. It takes place during the day at an island, San Simón, located on the spectacular Vigo estuary, and the audience can only arrive by taking the boats on charter to the organization. The other reason that makes Sinsal a new model of festival is the secret line-up. The audience does not know the name of the artists until they enter the island.

The world-famous trombonist Nils Landgren wan- ders through the sun-kissed landscape of South Tyrol and, the same evening, in a medieval wine museum, channels his natural impressions into an unbelievable performance of improvised jazz. This is the pivotal, irresistible moment of the festival, the one which cultural cognoscenti search for the world over. Here, on three days in October, you can almost reach out and touch this enchanting proof of musical empathy.
