 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new and long enough, well-written and interesting, neutral and contains sufficient sources. As there were two shows, I changed "concert" to "concerts" in the hook. Hook is short and interesting enough, and the facts have inline refs; the English one checks out, but AGF on the Dutch portion of the facts. Similarly, most of the sources are in Dutch, so AGF on close paraphrasing; someone who speaks Dutch can verify, but as far as I'm concerned, Professor Drmies can be trusted. QPQ done. The image appears in the article, and should be fine because of Dutch freedom of panorama rules, but I believe the license currently on it is not valid – it relates to the photograph, but not the 3-D object depicted in it. Maybe an image expert (Crisco 1492? Materialscientist?) can supply the correct license. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  22:14, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I found and added a Dutch freedom of panorama license template. I think it should be okay now, but it wouldn't hurt to get another opinion. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  00:03, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * GmfDit Mandarax, you are SHARP. Thanks! I hadn't thought of that--and it has been an issue here; I remember something about some Disney characters being copied and then photographed. I appreciate the effort. Note the defective but impeccable license on the other pic in the article, and if you got a problem with it, take it up with my mother--who took the photograph just the other day.
