history
The festival first took place on a smaller scale in 1978. This event took place in the D'n Herd community building, which no longer exists, but was later moved to the De Molenheide racecourse, where it has been held regularly for 15 years.
In 1985 the festival started for the first time on Easter Sunday , which resulted in the official Paaspop. From 1996 the music festival moved to a large circus tent near the De Molenheide racecourse. In 2011 the Paaspop was expanded to three days, and three stages were added. In that year, the Paaspop recorded a visitor record with 41,000 visitors, which was increased to 51,000 in the following year 2012.
