To bring or not to bring, that's the question
  • Empty plastic bottles and empty camelbags are allowed. Metal bottles are not.
  • Prohibited our the festival site: fluids, beverage cartons, bottles, glass, cans, drugs, sharp objects, alcohol, animals, sound -, film -, video - and photo equipment, drones, selfie sticks, fires and any other objects which may be considered dangerous by the organization. 
  • The organisers reserve the right to search bags and people at the entrance to the festival grounds. You'll also have to pass a walk-through metal detector. Visitors who refuse to cooperate or who are found in the possession of drugs or narcotics will be banned from the festival.
  • Feel free to bring a folding umbrella! 
Where can I park and how much does it cost?
  • No need to stress about parking – there’s plenty near the festival site.
  • Most lots are cashless, please don’t forget your bank card.
  • Parking rates? €17 for 1 day, €20 for 2, €24 for 3 and €30 for all 4 days.
  • Using the 4-day lot? You can stay until Monday – but if you leave early, there’s no refund.
  • Got a combi ticket but need to drive in and out? Go for '1 DAY parking' – it makes more sense.

    Parking is managed by vzw Kiewit. Every euro goes straight to the local clubs that keep the community running.
