/ Respect and environmental sustainability

As a new venue, it’s our responsibility to create an experience that benefits the guests and the environment. We’re committed to hosting the ultimate best live concerts whilst protecting the amazing tranquil surroundings. Respect and environmental sustainability lie at the heart of our event’s vision. We put the emphasis on doing good and demand our audience to do the same. We aim to let the widest number of people enjoy live music by generating a venue where tolerance, openness and respect are fundamental.

Steps we are taking as a festival:

  • Protective measures for nature on and around grounds
  • Noise limits monitored
  • Healthy food options
  • Commit to local food partners
  • Focus on public transport
  • Promote bicycle
  • Extra trams after the last show to discourage car
  • Deploy vacuum toilets (less water and no chemicals)
  • No plastic cutlery
  • Sort trash
  • Reusable cups
  • Eco team keeping the grounds tidy, helping to recycle and handing out eco tokens

How does the cup system work?

Very simple: the first time you order a drink at the bar, you pay a 1 euro environmental contribution for a reusable cup, bottle or can.
Don't throw away your cup/bottle/can, just swap them when you go to get a new drink.
Want your hands free? Then swap your cup/bottle/can for an eco token from our mobile eco team or at the bar.

Did you lose your cup/bottle/can/eco token? Then you have to pay 1 euro again at the bar.

At the end of the day, you can leave your cup/bottle/can with the eco team at the exit.

Please note: at the special beers bar, there is a different cup and deposit system. Please check all conditions there.
An eco token or cup/bottle/can can can never be exchanged for money, not even at the end of the day or the end of the festival. We ask for this euro because of stricter environmental legislation and use it for correct processing of reusable cups and sorting of waste.
