Frequently Asked Questions

Rock Werchter does not have a minimum age. 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.

A quick response to the most frequently asked questions:

• Folding chairs with a maximal height of 50 cm are allowed. (Example).
• You can bring your own food into the festival, but not in glass packaging.
• You are NOT allowed to bring your own drinks into the festival. Free drinking water is available in every sanitary block. An empty drinking bottle is allowed (no glass).
• Non-professional recording equipment (such as a photo camera) are allowed.

Find the full list of (non-)allowed items will be shared closed to the festival.

You can! However, please note that glass is not allowed in. Spirits are also not allowed on the campsites. For other alcoholic drinks (e.g. beer or wine) a maximum of 24 cans per person is allowed.

No, this is not allowed. Camping is only possible on one of the campsites. Wildcamping is prohibited.

Professional photo, film and other recording equipment (including all SLR cameras and cameras with detachable lenses) are not permitted. The use of selfie sticks and GoPros (or similar) is also not permitted. (Digital) compact cameras and camera phones are permitted on the festival grounds. It is not permitted to produce and/or distribute (online or offline) professional and/or commercial content at the festival (whether or not by using influencers/content creators) without written permission from the festival organisation.

There are no specific facilities for pregnant festivalgoers.

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.

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 takes concrete steps towards being a more sustainable festival. The challenges are great. The will, the enthusiasm and the determination to reduce the ecological impact of the festival are even greater.​ The festival has been investing in sustainability for years now. Rock Werchter has chosen to take action with concrete goals. In 2024, Rock Werchter joined the Green Deal Circular Festivals. This spring, it also began a process to receive the VOKA Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship. Minor actions, major initiatives, and, above all, ambition - that's what is needed to achieve these goals. A sustainably organised festival isn’t a trend; it's a reality. More info to follow.

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.

If you wish to keep your personal belongings safe, rent a locker. The lockers are located just outside the festival grounds (near the main entrance) and on The Hive, The Hive Resort, The Hive My Space campsites and Central Park. You can reserve your locker online.

If you are breastfeeding and would like to pump your milk on the festival site, you can do so in a special tent near North West Walls.

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.
