The province of Limburg will investigate whether Pinkpop can be granted the status of Dutch intangible cultural heritage. Within six months, it must also assess the feasibility of nominating the festival for UNESCO World Heritage status in the future. A majority of the members of the Limburg Provincial Council voted in favor of a proposal to this effect.Pinkpop has been held annually since 1970, now developing into an internationally recognized music festival. It also holds the Guinness World Records title for the longest-running annual music festival in the world.
