Rockstone spent a happy weekend camping under the stars at one of the most magical festivals of the Dutch summer – ‘Into the Great Wide Open‘. Each summer, the island of Vlieland opens its shores to over 6,000 festival-goers who soak up the music, art and nature with stages nestled in the sandy dunes, enchanting forests and pristine beaches.

In our festival highlights report, catch performances from artists as varied as the U.S. soul legend Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, genre-busting Swede Neneh Cherry, Iceland’s finest Ásgeir, Brits Ben Howard and recently Mecury Prize nominated Nick Mulvey, and Dutch crowd-rousers Typhoon, Jungle by Night and Kris Berry & Perquisite. By the end of our 180 second round-up, you’ll understand why this festival sells out in minutes, and will be racing to get first in line for 2015!
