Festivalpark Werchter Belgium
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.
Rock Werchter does not have a minimum age and so everyone is welcome! But everyone at the festival must be in possession of a festival ticket, children included. There is no reduction for children.
We do not recommend that (young) children be brought to the festival grounds, as we do not provide children’s facilities, and because a music festival is not the ideal environment for children.
There are no specific facilities for pregnant festivalgoers.
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 you'll find all the necessary facilities to pump discreetly, to clean your pump afterwards and to safely store your material. 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, cooling elements, bottles, etc.
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.
No, this is not allowed. Camping is only possible on one of the campsites. Wildcamping is prohibited.
You can! However, please note that glass is not allowed in.
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.
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.
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.
