These municipalities did some tests for the noise pollution. Following these tests the surrounding villages Nunspeet, Oldebroek and Elburg experience a lot of nuisance. “A good night rest is important, especially during such an event if you have to go to work after the weekend”, so said the board of Nunspeet in a lettre. More municipalities want a open discussion about the end time of festivals like Defqon.1 and Lowlands.
