In 1986 it was little more than a fun musical battle in De Oosterpoort
between ten Belgian and ten Dutch acts. “We started out as a festival for
people in Groningen, but have now become one of the main platforms in the
Europan music sector,” says Peter Smidt, involved in the very first days
of Noorderslag and now working as its creative director. He takes us for
a guided tour through 20 years of Noorderslag pop history...
