Frequently Asked Questions

The timetable of the shows will be announced later via this website and the Rock Werchter mobile app.

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 shuttle bus are included.

More detailed mobility info on your journey to/from Rock Werchter will be available later. Ticket holders will receive all mobility information by email in the run-up to the festival.

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).

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.

Press accreditations can be requested through our press service.

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.

For years, the organizers of the Werchter festivals have been investing in making their activities more sustainable. We consciously choose to take responsibility and aim to make a difference. Not with grand words, but with concrete actions. The ambition to reduce our ecological footprint remains strong. In 2025, we continue to build with conviction, enthusiasm, and great energy on the foundations laid in recent years.

Sustainability is a shared responsibility. Everyone is involved: festivalgoers, volunteers, crew, suppliers, partners, and artists. Together, we take small and big steps toward greener festivals. Every step counts.

Achieving the VOKA Charter for Sustainable Entrepreneurship confirms we’re on the right track. A sustainably organized festival is not a trend. It’s a reality.
