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.
