The Plugged Festival committee scoured local events and venues like PopEI to discover talented, homegrown bands, a tradition that continued year after year. It was all captured in the very first Instagram post for Plugged Festival. The 2017 edition saw Plugged Festival returning to Koeveld, despite the rain trying to dampen our spirits. Interestingly, the band Thaiti from Nijmegen initially expected a typical student party vibe, but they were pleasantly surprised by the festival’s professionalism and vibrant atmosphere.
