I come via the E314 from Brussels, Liège, Leuven or France > choose one of the car parks in zone ROZE
I come via the E314 from Aarschot, Lummen or the Netherlands > choose one of the car parks in zone GROEN

I will spend the night at a festival campsite:

I am staying at The Hive > Choose The Hive parking in zone BLAUW
I am staying at Camping A1 > Choose parking BLAUW 1
I am staying at Camping C3 > Choose parking GROEN 3 or GROEN 5

The Combi The Hive parking ticket gives access to The Hive car park (zone BLAUW) from Wednesday at 1 pm. The packages for The Hive Resort & The Hive ADL campsites include a parking ticket in the corresponding car park.

Please take into account possible delays on your way to Werchter and back. Several streets around the Festival Park are closed and parking is prohibited.

Parking Combi Flex

Do you drive back and forth to the festival every day and do you want to park in Werchter? Then the Combi Flex Parking ticket is the ideal solution for you. A standard parking ticket only gives you one-time access to the car park. If you leave the parking lot, you cannot enter again with the same ticket.

With the Combi Flex ticket, you get one access to the car park of your choice every festival day. This way you can drive back and forth every day without having to buy a new ticket each time. A combi flex ticket costs 60 euros.

There is only a limited number of Combi Flex parking tickets available per zone. Due to incoming traffic, it is not possible to leave the car park between 12 pm (noon) and 6 pm, and it is not possible to arrive at the parking lot between 11 pm and 3 am due to departing traffic.

Tips for free or cheaper parking

Use an NMBS/SNCB car park where the night train stops and travel by train to Werchter. With your ticket for the night train you can park for 24 hours for free in the NMBS/SNCB car park where the train stops (see 'Public transport').
Bring your bike and park for free in a Park+Bike car park at short distance.
Get dropped off & picked up at the Kiss+Ride car parks at Aarschot/Leuven station and take the free shuttle bus there.
Carpool with friends to limit the price per person.

Don’t drink and drive

If you drive, you don't drink. Make the BOB reflex a habit: decide before you leave who will be the designated driver. That way, you’ll get home safely after an amazing festival day. Find out more at the We Care A Lot stand in the Festivalpark.
