Legends of Rock Heat Scandal | Amsterdam News

Legends of Rock in Arnhem turned a scorching heatwave into a survival ordeal—30°C, no free water, and a literal pay-to-sip system charging €14.50 for a liter. Attendees were barred from bringing their own drinks, forcing them to gulp expensive water with caps removed, making it nearly impossible to save. Organizers shrugged off responsibility, citing cost coverage, while public health guidelines clearly call for free water stations and shade.

Some left early, calling the conditions unhealthy and unsafe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
