For the annual EO youth day came Saturday, about twenty thousand young people gathered in the Gelredome in Arnhem. The theme of the 43rd edition was Fear not (fear not).
“You don’t need to be distracted by fearful thoughts. That is where the EO-youth day is about,” said presenter Joram Kaat during the opening. The dance-duo, Capital Kings prepared the first performance.
in the Evening there were performances by the Canadian rock band Hawk Nelson, and folk-pop band Rend Collective was responsible for the shut-off valve. A spokeswoman for the Evangelical Broadcasting company speaks of a great day with a good atmosphere.
The environment of the Gelredome was heavily protected with concrete blocks. It was the first time that such a measure was taken at the Gelredome. The EO-youth day drew last year to 23,000 visitors.
