3FM Glass House headed to Apeldoorn next year

The 3FM Glass House Serious Request action will be in Apeldoorn next year. DJ Michiel Veenstra spoke with Apeldoorn Mayor John Berends on Thursday, who said that the radio station is "incredibly welcome" in his city, the Telegraaf reports Next year will be the 14th edition of the Serious Request fundraising campaign and the first time it is happening in Gelderland. This year 3FM DJ's will lock themselves in a glass house in Breda. From December 18th to 24th the DJ's will pay music from the glass house 24 hours a day to raise money for a cause.
