Preparations and Weather Conditions
The night before Bospop 2024, a massive amount of rain fell, turning the festival grounds into a large mud pit1. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers, the grounds were ready on time by pumping out excess water and laying down dry sand and wood chips1. Although the parking facilities had to be adjusted and were located further away, shuttle buses ensured smooth transportation1. This was an impressive feat by the organization, ensuring the festival could start without major issues.
