The Pinkpop event, which is held from May 30th until June 1st and takes place in Limburg, has attracted some of the top names from the rock genre in recent years.

Metallica, the Foo Fighters and Rage Against The Machine were the heavyweight headliners at the 2008 gathering, while a strong undercard saw the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, the Verve and Editors take to the stage.
