On site
The line-up is usually well worth the trek, and the campsites are clean if a little noisy (a good festival really then). Like nearby festival Pukkelpop standard local bus and train travel are free with your festival ticket. Food and drinks are bought using a ticket system. The camping areas are around a ten minute walk away from the festival site, but they have clean showers for around two euros. For those who like to take in the sites Leaven has many beautful historic buildings and is home to the Stella Artois Brewery.
Litter collection
There are two stages and the area is pretty clean, as the organisers have an
incentive to litter picking. 20 used cups gets you a small (the only size
they do) cup of beer or water. There is no drinking water available from the
taps so it is best to take some along.
Campsites
A total of thirteen campsites are available at various points along the road to the arena entrance, which has been closed to vehicles. Most of the first ones are full by Thursday afternoon. The campsites will be open from Thursday 1st July until Monday 5th July in the afternoon.
