Hot and sunny weekend at Soesterberg airbase: time for new experiment with The Dodo

With temperatures above 25 degrees, it will be a sweltering but also unique summer day, that 10th September. The Cultural Press Agency will be present that day and Sunday with four journalists at the former Airbase Soesterberg to report on festival The Base. When you get there, you'll experience a lot of nature, even more impressive war history and a piece or two of theatre performances and visual arts events. In old sheds, shelters and bunkers, newly, or not yet, graduated makers from Maastricht and Utrecht took inspiration from the Netherlands' former biggest blur on Google Earth.

We will be there to report via A liveblog on the site of the Online Festival Day newspaper The dodo. From around 11 o'clock, messages will start trickling in here, so that if you have unexpectedly chosen to queue up in a traffic jam to the beach, or are trudging through a scorching hot city centre, you will still be kept up to date with what is happening on this piece of new nature in central Netherlands.
