Pandora's Music Box Festival

In 1985 vond in de Doelen het new wave popfestival Pandora’s Music Box plaats. Het was de laatste editie van dit toonaangevende festival, dat met haar vernieuwende en spectaculaire programmering een voorbeeld zou zijn voor latere grote muziekfestivals in Nederland zoals Lowlands. Alle bezoekers, medewerkers, muzikanten en journalisten werden verplicht zich bij binnenkomst te laten fotograferen in speciaal geconstrueerde studio’s. De fotocollectie met maar liefst 6543 portretten biedt een uniek tijdsbeeld uit de roerige jaren tachtig, met alle destijds gangbare muziekstromingen.

Van het grootse plan om deze beelden met een raket de ruimte in te sturen kwam helaas niets terecht. De foto’s waren zelfs jarenlang onvindbaar. DIG IT UP herontdekte de foto’s enkele jaren geleden, scande ze en maakt ze nu toegankelijk.
