More than 200,000 people visited the Festival on the Ring in Amsterdam, which, according to the organization, seems to have passed without major incidents. "In most places it was busy but manageable," says a spokesperson. Only the 'highway rave' of Audio Obscura was temporarily stopped, because it became so busy there that people climbed over the fences.
