Pentecost Festival: Pinkpop Brand Analysis
Happy Pentecost Monday! In the Netherlands we call this “Tweede Pinksterdag” or “Pinkstermaandag”. Pinkster(en) comes from the Greek word pentekostè. For today, we’ve decided to do a brand analysis on the Pinkpop Festival. It’s a large, annual music festival held in the Netherlands, originally held during the Pentecost weekend, hence the name. Unfortunately, the public will have to wait until next year to attend, as this year’s edition has been cancelled.
