In Pictures: Best Kept Secret Festival 2023
Best Kept Secret is, for us, one of the highlights of the European festival calendar. Taking place each June at Beekse Bergen safari park, 135 miles south of Amsterdam, it combines the best of indie and dance, as well as some more experimental elements, to deliver a festival which is great for discovering new music, but which will always have some familiar big hitters to reel you in.
Eva Plevier won the So.Co office coin-toss to get to go this year, so she packed up her tent and braved the scorching heat to bring us the very best of the festival.
We'll be bringing you a full live report, but for now, here's the best of Eva's photos.
