Pinkpop Festival is an annual music festival held in Landgraaf, Netherlands. It is currently the longest-running continuous annual pop music festival in the world. It is usually held on the Pentecost weekend ("Pinksteren" in Dutch, hence the name). If Pentecost (also called Whit Sunday, Whitsunday or Whitsun) falls on an early date in May, the festival is held later in June. The festival began in 1970 and has been held at Megaland, a 27-hectare site, since 1988.
Today, Whit Sunday 2026 we celebrate the 56th Anniversary of the festival with this historic performance of Björk, which took place on May 23, 1994, yesterday 32 years ago, her only performance at the festival.
Björk Guðmundsdóttir OTF; born 21 November 1965, is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. Noted for her distinct voice, three-octave vocal range, and eccentric public persona, she has developed an eclectic musical style over a career spanning five decades, drawing on electronica, pop, dance, trip hop, jazz, and avant-garde music. She is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of her era.
Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes by the age of 21. After the Sugarcubes disbanded in 1992, Björk gained prominence as a solo artist with her albums Debut (1993), Post (1995), and Homogenic (1997), which blended electronic, pop, and avant-garde music and achieved significant critical success.
