Festival campsites will not be opened, as Werchter Boutique is a one-day festival. Wild camping is not allowed. Check Visit Leuven for hotels, B&B and other options close to the festival.
Werchter Boutique 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 believe a music festival is not the ideal environment for children. There are no facilities for children.
Werchter Boutique does not work with individual volunteers. The festival has been working with a broad spectre of associations from the wide vicinity of Werchter. With great zeal and enormous amounts of enthusiasm, members of these associations get involved with whatever has to be done on and around the festival ground. Their goal: to contribute to the success of the festival and, on top of that, to gather funds for their association, since all collaborating associations are remunerated by the festival organizers.
If you wish to keep your personal belongings safe, use our lockers. The lockers are located just outside the festival grounds, near the main entrance. No deposit is required for the use of the lockers.
The following dimensions are available:
You can always access your belongings during the opening hours of the Festival Park. All lockers must be emptied 30 minutes after the Festival Park closes.
You can also rent a locker on site (while stocks last). Be sure to reserve your locker in time - there is no other storage service provided!
For any additional questions on the lockers, send an e-mail to rockwerchter@mobilelocker.eu.
The safety and health of concert and festival goers, artists and their crew, employees and neighbouring residents is always our highest priority. We have a robust safety policy. We organise additional and intensive meetings with the local and federal police and the local and provincial authorities. More info will be given closer to the festival.
We are taking 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. Werchter Boutique has chosen to take action with concrete goals. 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. Read more on this page.
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 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 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.
