TRAVEL & MOBILITY INFO

Our Tips

Antwerp will be busy on 7 & 8 August - so leave on time and think carefully about your route.

  • Look for the best way to reach the concert site. That's not always the car.
  • Book your bus, train or car park in advance to guarantee your spot.

By Bike

Cycling is often the fastest and easiest way to get there. Whether you're coming from Waasland or the Antwerp city centre, there are convenient bike routes to the concert site.

At the entrance to the concert site, you can leave your bike for FREE in one of the 2 manned bike parkings!  

Tip: Do you live too far to cycle to the concert site? Bring your bike in the car and park at a free Park+Bike spot.


Event Shuttle

Do you have tickets for Ed Sheeran and are looking for an easy way to get to the concert? Opt for the official event shuttle.

With 82 pick-up points, including from the Netherlands, the shuttle will take you comfortably to the concert venue. The price varies depending on the distance, but you can book a return trip from as little as 25 euro.

Your ticket is valid for both the outward and return journey. The return trip leaves about one hour after the end of the show. So you don't have to worry about traffic jams or parking problems. Relax on the way and enjoy a drink on board (not included in the price).

Arrival at Linkeroever is scheduled between 4pm and 5pm.

How does the cup system work?

With your first drink, you pay 1 euro environmental contribution for your reusable cup, bottle or can. Take that to the bar when you get a new drink, and you'll get a fresh one without paying again.

Don't feel like lugging it around? Exchange it for an ecotoken at the bar, at an ecoteam or at one of the ecopoints.

Lost it anyway? Then pay 1 euro again with your next drink. At the end of the day, return your cup, bottle or can (or ecotoken) to an ecoteam or an ecopoint.

There is no refund - your contribution ensures that we can wash, reuse or recycle everything neatly. This is how we give the Middle Pond a future as a sustainable party venue.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

No, it is not allowed. Don't worry: there are more than enough food and drink stands with something for everyone.

Are there lockers available?

Yes, there are paid lockers available on site! You can already reserve a locker here.

Is there accessible seating for people with disabilities?

A separate access row is provided at each entrance for visitors with a ticket for persons with reduced mobility.

Specifically on the left-hand side Entrance 2, there is an adapted access for wheelchair users. There are steel plates there for smooth and safe access to the site. All entrances open from 4pm.

There are also two viewing platforms available on the site itself, as well as adapted sanitary facilities.
Access to these facilities requires a specific access ticket for persons with reduced mobility. We do our best to make the site as accessible as possible for everyone, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that every part of the site is (easily) accessible for people with disabilities or in wheelchairs.

Can I bring a small stool or seat?

Only with a medical certificate or in case of pregnancy are you allowed to bring a small foldable stool (like the example here) of max 50 cm high.

Can I take photos and videos?

Mobile phones and small digital cameras are allowed, as long as they do not have interchangeable lenses. Professional photographic and video material is not allowed. It is not allowed to produce and/or distribute (online or offline) professional and/or commercial content at the festival (whether or not through the use of influencers/content creators) without written permission from the festival organisation.

Are earplugs available on site?

Protect your ears!

Thanks to our partner Alpine, you can enjoy the concert safely and comfortably.

There are mobile Alpine teams on site, so earplugs are always nearby.

I’m breastfeeding – where can I go?

Are you breastfeeding and want to pump somewhere? Then you can go to the first aid tent. There is also a small fridge available to store milk.
