We are more than grateful to return to the green and spacious Meerpark where we have the opportunity to host Music On Festival 2024. It is all about the love and respect for the vulnerable Amsterdam event locations and their environment. Together with the Amsterdam city government, local residents and sustainability experts we find Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) extremely important. For the Music On Festival team it is important to contribute to society by working with volunteers and creating work for educational institutes, refugees with a permit and other less fortunate classes of society.
