3FM Serious Request 2021: DJ Teams Enter Lockdown to Aid COVID-19 Fight

Serious Request is taking a bold new approach this year. Three DJ teams from 3FM will enter lockdown together to support the battle against COVID-19.

From December 18 to 24, they'll isolate at the former Twenthe Air Base. All proceeds will benefit the Red Cross, providing essential personnel and resources to ease the strain on healthcare providers in the Netherlands and worldwide.
