Everything you need to know about Pinkpop Festival 2008 guide - including news, line-up, dates, videos, photos, reviews, ticket information and more...

Pinkpop

When: May 30-June 1

Where: Megaland, Landgraaf, Netherlands

What: Don't be put off by the name - this long-running Dutch bash has very little to do with 'pop' in the Girls Aloud sense. 1.5 million discerning festival-goers have descended on this rock and indie event in the last 39 years and over 500 acts have impressed them. And this year, with Foo Fighters and Metallica on the same bill, it's a dream line-up for hard rock fans.

Tickets: €129 (£103) for weekend tickets with camping. €69 (£55) for individual day tickets. This festival has sold out.
