There was no shortage of emotion during the first day of the Rock Werchter festival in Flemish Brabant. Top of the bill was the American rock band Pearl Jam. The group performed its greatest hits of the past three decades. The group’s lead singer Eddie Vedder remembered the tragedy at Roskilde Festival in Denmark 22-years ago to the day on 30 June 2000. Then 9 people died after being crushed in the crowd that wanted to see Pearl Jam perform on the festival’s mainstage.
