  1. Something very big is for sure happening at Stadion Feijenoord a.k.a. De Kuip. All hotels near the venue do know what is going on, may be one of them is crew hotel, all of them offer non-refundable bookings only for June 16, if you book 15-17 then some offer refundable booking. Some ask for 500-1,000 Euro per night, some are even full on June 17. Very strange situation in the hotel scene during June 15-16.

    Thew two last shows of the 1995 tour in Europe were at De Kuip in Rotterdam. The sound and the mood was fantastic, I was there. During the last show, Darryl Jones was on the final bow, a magic and emotional touch, which I wrote about in my IORR magazine back then, that was a year before IORR got live on Internet. I know The Rolling Stones feel the same about the venue, so who knows, may be the city make a deal, and they do the final De Kuip show there.

  2. There will be no more major pop concerts at De Kuip in Rotterdam from 2026 onwards due to noise pollution from the new housing surrounding the stadium and the high costs of soundproofing. The stadium will receive compensation for this from the municipality of Rotterdam, but will continue to host other events. This decision was made by the stadium management and the municipality of Rotterdam.
  3. It looks like that concerts at De Kuip will still be possible. The ban will only take effect once the new buildings are occupied. This means there's still room for concerts in 2026.
  4. Seems the tour is off (again).

    It's fair enough really.

    See what Bjornulf says tomorrow.
