#01 Oranjebloesem | KINGSDAY | Blijburg Aan Zee, Amsterdam
Oranjebloesem has given Amsterdam something special during Kingsday for the last two years, creating an atmosphere that doesn’t amplify the Kingsday feeling, but rather generating the perfect secluded community for like minded people who wish to escape the inner city Kingsday madness and do take part in something different. Next to that, they have outdone themselves regarding programming, with Amsterdam’s favourite superstar DJ/enfant terrible Seth Troxler topping the bill.
