The event was part of a series of trial events organised by Fieldlab Events to investigate whether major events can take place safely again during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Encouraged by the results of the pilot events conducted by Fieldlab Events, the Dutch government decided to lift capacity and distancing mandates by June 30 for anybody providing proof of a coronavirus vaccination or a negative test result.

The decision was made public today, June 11, by the dutch state secretary for economic affairs and climate policy Mona Keijzer.
Overnight stays for multi-day events are on the horizon as well, from the end of July for those able to provide a negative test or confirmation of having gotten the vaccine.
Depending on the length of the event, multiple tests may be necessary to satisfy the 40-hour validity currently set for test results.
