Ticket prices are including service fee, mobility and eco contribution.
Tickets for Rock Werchter 2023 are exclusively available via ticketmaster.be.
Each festival ticket allows you to download one free train ticket for public transport (train/festival bus) to and from Werchter.
❗ If you wish to stay on one of the festival's campsites, you'll need to purchase a camping ticket as well. See 'Camping tickets' for more info.
In the Festivalpark, you can purchase both food and drinks with food/drink coupons. These coupons are also valid for payments in The Hive and The Hive Resort.
In presale, a food/drink coupon costs 3,25 euro. At the festival itself, this is 3,50 euro.
Presale vouchers are available online until Sunday 25 June 2023. You can get a voucher for 20, 40, 60 or 80 coupons via ticketmaster.be. During the festival, you can exchange your voucher(s).
Camping is a part of festivals. Are you going for the full experience? Don't forget to book your camping ticket or package. An overview of what's on offer:
The Hive. Top notch camping meets top notch experience. The Hive is located close to the Festival Park and is run by the festival organization.
The Hive is accessible from Wednesday 28 June at 2PM. Those staying on The Hive/The Hive My Space/The Hive Resort or The Hive ADL, have access to Central Park for a nice get-together.
Not run by the festival organization are the Camping Regular campsites, all within walking distance of the Festival Park. Rather basic, but not less cosy. These campsites open on Thursday morning. Camping Regular tickets will be available soon.
Camping Mobilhome is exclusively for campers/motorhomes, and offers dedicated facilities. More info and ticket availability will follow later.
Buy your tickets only from our official ticketing partner via ticketmaster.be. Don't blindly order your tickets through the first website that pops up on your search engine. Chances are you are visiting an auctioning website or a ticket reseller. Not only will tickets offered through these websites sometimes be more expensive; you also risk being denied access to the festival.
There is a legal framework in Belgium that curbs the resale of tickets. Nevertheless, the trade in festival tickets on parallel markets is rampant. Contrary to tickets purchased via ticketmaster.be, tickets purchased on the black market do not guarantee validity. All too often we find that fraudulent tickets are offered via these channels. It is possible that tickets purchased on a parallel market are on the blacklist, so the access to the festival will be refused. Read more via FOD Economie.
Tickets will not be sent out until June 2023, a few weeks ahead of the festival. We deliberately opt for this deferred shipment as a way of fighting black market trading and ticket fraud.
Our ticket partner Ticketmaster is happy to answer any questions. Their employees can be reached online. An answer to the most frequently asked ticketing related questions can be found in the Ticketmaster FAQ.
Did you have a ticket (or camping tickets, drink vouchers...) to Rock Werchter 2020 or 2021? Your order has automatically been transferred to Rock Werchter 2022. However, you were able to request to convert your order into Ticketmaster credit until 30 September 2021. That credit can be spent on festivals taking place at Festivalpark Werchter up to, and including, 31 August 2023. If you still have credit left, you can find it in ‘My Account’ on ticketmaster.be.
Does the name on your festival ticket not match with your own name? Don’t worry too much about this! If the ticket was purchased via the official channels, it’s valid.
If the original buyer of the ticket does not accompany you when you enter the festival, please make sure the condition of the ticket, the printing quality and especially the barcode are impeccable. Print out your ticket on a white sheet of paper, and make sure the other side remains unused. Dirty, wet or laminated tickets and badly printed or unclear barcodes are not readable by the scanners. In that case, we can only give a copy of the ticket to the original ticket buyer.
However, don’t buy your tickets via auction websites or second hand ticket websites. Tickets that are offered for an exuberant amount of money, will be blacklisted and made invalid, which means they don’t grant you access to the festival.
Located close to the Festivalpark is The Hive. You can camp there with your own tent. If you don't feel like lugging camping equipment around or would like some luxury and comfort, you can opt for accommodation already set up. The Hive will open from Wednesday 28 June at 2PM.
Those camping at The Hive also have access to Central Park, where it is nice to hang out. During the day, it is a cosy meeting place. On Wednesday, the official opening party will take place in Central Park. After each festival day ends, there is plenty of time to party.
There are multiple camping options at The Hive:
Not run by the festival organization, are the Camping Regular campsites, all within walking distance of the Festivalpark. These campsites are rather basic, but no less enjoyable! The Camping Regular campsites open on Thursday morning. These tickets will go on sale later. Info to follow.
There will be a camping dedicated to motorhomes, more info will follow.
In collaboration with Inter, Rock Werchter puts in a great effort to make the festival accessible for people with a disability. So we have paid a lot of attention to the accessibility of the festival site and its surroundings:
For any additional questions, get in touch with rockwerchter@inter.vlaanderen.
If you wish to make use of the aforementioned facilities, please fill out this subscription form before 10 June 2023!

Of course, we love public transport! Your festival ticket includes 1 free and personal train ticket for a return journey in 2nd class from a Belgian departure station to Rock Werchter. Transfers by an extra bus of De Lijn are included.
More detailed mobility info on your journey to/from Rock Werchter will be available later.
The safety and health of concert and festival goers, artists and their crew, employees and neighboring residents is always our highest priority. We have a robust safety policy. In the run-up to the festival, we organize intensive meetings with the local and federal police, with the emergency services and the local and provincial authorities. There are also meetings during the festival. More info will be given closer to the festival.
Rock Werchter does not call on individual volunteers. The festival has always drawn on a broad spectrum of clubs and associations from the area in and around Werchter. With great passion and enthusiasm the members of these clubs get involved in whatever has to be done on and around the festival ground. Their aim is to contribute to the success of the festival and to raise funds for their organization, because all partner clubs and associations earn a fee from the festival organizers.

Professional audio or video recording equipment and (photo)cameras are not allowed. Simple and small devices without removable lenses, as well as smartphones, are allowed on the festival site. Accessories such as tripods, selfie sticks, GoPro mounts etc. are not welcome.
Press accreditations can be requested through our press service.
There is no minimum age for Rock Werchter so all are welcome! But everyone at the festival must have a festival ticket, children included. There are no discounts for children. We do not recommend that (young) children be brought to the festival grounds, because we do not provide facilities for children and a music festival is not the ideal environment for children.
The stand room available in the Festival Park is allocated exclusively to our sponsors and media partners. If you wish to set up a food stand at the festival, get in touch with our catering partner, Bevers & Bevers Catering.
On and around the festival site, including on the campsites and on the public roads, it is strictly prohibited to hand out or display flyers, posters or other promotional materials. Sponsors and media partners - if they have agreed this with the organizers - get visibility at the Festivalpark.
However, it is possible to highlight your campaign through Agrafa Affichage by means of A0 ads printed on banners. These heras banners will be placed along the Festivalpark on the side of the Haachtsesteenweg. For rates and options, please contact Benny Koch at the email address benny@agrafa.be.
Festivals take their toll on the environment. This much we know. For many years now we have made efforts to run our Werchter festivals with greater sustainability in mind. In the 2006/2007 season, when Yourope, the association of European festivals, launched their Green & Clean guidelines for greener festivals, Rock Werchter was among the first to claim the label. Greener enterprise is a must. Greener festivals are within the realms of possibility. We do our level best in the areas of water treatment, waste recycling and mobility. We go all out for green energy, and we've reduced our dependence on fossil fuels year on year. With every year, our festivals are getting greener. We set ourselves clear targets. We adhere to the Green Nation charter. Its main goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. Step by step, we are moving towards even more sustainability.
There are no specific facilities for pregnant festivalgoers.
Together with midwife Hanne, Rock Werchter is making an extra effort to offer breastfeeding mothers some more comfort in the Festival Park. If you are breastfeeding and would like to pump your milk on the festival site, you can do so in a special tent.
In The Milk Factory tent you'll find all the necessary facilities to pump discreetly, to clean your pump afterwards and to safely store your material in a locker. The pumped milk can be stored in the fridge of the pump bar until the end of the festival day. Bring your own: pump, bags, bottles, etc.
Feel free to bring your own food! Please note that glass is not allowed in. Due to security reasons, it’s also not allowed to bring fluids. Reusable drinking bottles - only in plastic, no glass or metal, and completely empty - are allowed in.
You can! However, please note that glass is not allowed in.
Yes, folding chairs with a max. height of 50cm are allowed. (Example).
No, this is not allowed. Camping is only possible on one of the campsites. Wildcamping is prohibited.
