‍Swapfiets is providing a repair service at the bicycle parking ‘Antwerp’. Every festival day between 15h and 19h, they can help you with a flat tyre or broken brake cable so you can get back home smoothly.

You don’t own a bicycle? You can use the different share bikes platforms (Velo, Blue-bike, Donkey Republic, …) or share steps (Bird, Poppy, Circ, …) in Antwerp.

‍TIP: After the festival it can be busy at the Sint-Anna tunnel. Don’t want to wait? Park your bike in a bicycle parking on the right bank (city centre) and take the tram to the festival.

EVENT SHUTTLE

From several pick-up points in Flanders, Event Shuttles will drive to the festival. These Keolis busses also bring you home safely after the festival. Per traveller, you pay (starting from) €29 for a return trip, depending on the distance to the festival. You can book your seat or find the nearest pick-up point via this link.

‍The scheduled arrival of the shuttle buses is around 12.30pm (and on Friday at 4.00pm) and the return trips are scheduled to leave from the car park (Willem Gijselsstraat) at 01.00am sharp.

Please note: If the shuttle bus does not have enough passengers, there is a possibility that this ride may be cancelled. We are not responsible for any cancellations, this is the decision of the organisation Keolis.
