During the building and dismantling of the Festival Area, it is important that you respect the fact that it is a work site. This is particularly important on the Inner Festival Area.

Remember the following: 

  • In the days leading up to the festival, you are only permitted to be on the Inner Festival Area if you need to carry out a task there.
  • Traffic Laws also apply on the Festival Area, and the speed limit is max 20 km/h – pay special attention when moving around the Inner Festival Area.
  • Always respect fences, barriers and corresponding measures by work areas.
  • Drive on the roads only, and do not drive on the grass.

In front of the festival’s two largest stages, Orange Stage and Arena, special audience enclosures are set up – also known as pits. Being in the pit during a concert can be an intense and physical experience. We ask that you only stay in the pit if you feel safe there.

Entrances are located at either side of the pit. When the area has been emptied and cleaned from the previous concert, a gate is opened through which people can pass to wait for the next concert.

 

Special information for the pit system at Orange Stage

The two areas in the back of the pit are open, so you can move in and out throughout the concert. The area is open all day and has a capacity of 10,000 people. Camping chairs are not allowed.

The front part of the pit is one big area, which has a capacity of up to 4,700 people. To get access to the area, you need to wear a special wristband.

Wristbands are handed out for the following concerts:

Wednesday 3 July: Lamin, Doja Cat, Jungle

Thursday 4 July: Ice Spice, 21 Savage, Skrillex

Friday 5 July: Sexyy Red, Foo Fighters, Gilli

Saturday 6 July: PJ Harvey, SZA

Getting a wristband for the front pit

If you want to watch a concert from the front pit at the Orange Stage, you need to collect a wristband at the distribution point by the pit on the day of the concert.

The distribution point opens daily at 9:45 from Wednesday 3 July to Saturday 6 July. If you want to visit the distribution point when it opens, you can enter the area via gate 8 or gate 19 as they open slightly earlier than the other gates. Notice that the wristbands are handed out at gate 8 and gate 19 on Wednesday 3 July.

A wristband grants access to the front pit for a specific concert from when the gates open until 15 minutes before the concert starts. This allows you to spend the day attending other concerts or fulfilling your duties and simply arrive closer to the concert start time instead of waiting in line.

If you arrive later than 15 minutes before the concert starts, you will be denied entry, so make sure to arrive early.

If the front pit does not fill up before the concert starts, the area will be opened to people without pit wristbands. However, please note that this year it is expected that very few people will gain access this way, as more wristbands are being distributed in the morning.

Here are three good tips on how to protect your ears when the music is playing.

1. Use earplugs

The sound levels at festival stages are high. Some places, very high. That is why earplugs are a really good idea.

We recommend that you invest in some good earplugs, so you can protect your hearing without compromising on sound quality.

If the sound level at a concert is too loud and you don’t have earplugs, you can use your headphones if you have them with you. They also reduce the sound, although not as effectively as earplugs. Alternatively, you can use over-ear hearing protection. This is also the best sound protection for children.


2. Keep a distance from speakers, shouting friends, and other loud sound sources

The volume is highest at the sound source, so maintain a suitable distance. Shouts, screams, and whistles from others in the audience can be very loud, so be mindful when standing very close to others – and try to avoid exposing others to it as well.


3. Give your ears a good rest

Your ears need to relax.

It’s not only the loudness that strains your ears, but also how long and how often you listen to loud sounds. Therefore, try to rest your ears between concerts. Seek out quiet places and let your ears rest and recover.

If you experience a ringing, buzzing, or similar sound in your ears after concerts, it’s a sign that your hearing has been overstrained. Often, the sounds will disappear after some time or a few days, and there is no need to be afraid of them. But if the sounds persist, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor and get checked.
