Freedom is not to be taken for granted!
Liberation Pop is one of the oldest a largest liberation festivals in the Netherlands. Freedom has been celebrated in the Haarlemmerhout since 1980. This year (2023) the festival attracted a whopping 145,000 visitors! With performances by Nielson, Claude, The Opposites and Froukje, among others, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Local broadcaster Haarlem105 has been making live radio from the festival grounds for several years. Since 2022, in collaboration with The Productioneers, this has been transformed into television programming. A mix of visual radio, live performances from the main stage, reports on the history of liberation pop and interviews with artists, festival goers and volunteers.
As The Productioneers, we provide all the video technology and network infrastructure to make the broadcast possible. We do this in cooperation with the volunteers of Haarlem105 and Bevrijdingspop. We as The Productioneers are also here on a volunteer basis. We believe that remembering and celebrating freedom is very important. In this way we want to make our contribution to that. This way, both the memorial concert on May 4 and Liberation Pop on May 5 can be followed live. Everywhere and for everyone!
We would like to thank all the volunteers, partners and sponsors for their commitment and contribution to this important event.
