Anyone tried to register their ticket? How does it work exactly?

Someone from our group did it, but by mistake used the camping ticket instead of the festival one... and it was still accepted.

Should we register both or just one of them?

Its a hostel called St.Jacob. It is very basic, only 6 rooms, no reception etc. so there are no shuttles. Its easy to get to the central station, the only problem we'll probably have is on the way back at night.

There are a few taxi places at the station. At random days you will find here a taxi but with RW it can be very bussy. Leuven is the nearest big city close to Werchter and there are not that many taxi companies.

It's not that far to St Jacob (20 minutes), Leuven City isn't that big. But indeed, after 2 days RW your legs can hurt. Best thing: check if there is a taxi, or how long you have to wait. If it's longer than 30 minutes you can go by feet.

I was going to take my phone with me. How does the recharging work at werchter? Can you get portable chargers or do you just have to leave your phone at a stall or whatever?

There are several Places to charge your phone. At the festival site - but also outside. You can buy dinner and charge your phone while eating... no problem.

Thanx! After Thursdays night, a 20 minutes walk will take us 40. We're old

There are a few options:

1. Several stands in the festival ground and near the campsite (at least where Ive been, campsite A2) that have multiple connectors, usually stop working after the first 2 days.

2. Special area in the campsite for that matter (Samsung area where I have been) where you can bring your own charger.

3. There were cellphone stands at the festival ground last year but I havent used it so I dont know if they were just for phone charges or for renting portable charges.

I've sent a tweet to Rock Werchter about the same thing... They told me that it probably wouldn't be full by then, last year it didn't reach full capacity. So that's good news at least...but unfortunatly if you don't camp at the hive you can't attend the parties.

Does anyone think we'll get a Sam Smith replacement? Seems a big act to lose and not replace, but who would know with RW this year. It's all changed.

I'm not gutted about Smith to be honest, I probably wouldn't have gone and seen him anyway, but a good replacement could be lined up bonus!

According to Twitter, Ryan Adams has a broken rib. Im not optimistic he'll make it..

I read somewhere that he would still tour with it? (can't find it atm)

I think he's indeed an act too big to replace. But the long wait could be positive: it might mean that they're actively looking for a similar sized replacement. Usually when they bring in a Belgian act, they confirm it quite soon after the cancellation.

Hi, we are going to Rock Werchter for the first time this year and have a question about camping. We will be taking kids, they've been going to festivals since they were 2 years old and are now teenagers so I'm sure they are ready to handle Werchter. However they are not up for partying all night so I'm wondering where is the best place for camping? We have got ordinary camping tickets for arriving on Thursday morning. Any other useful information is appreciated.

I read it too but its tootooly to tell. If it is broken I cant believe he'll play. Too bad because he's a real gem in this years' lineup. Edited by e2p2

I'd say just not The Hive really,maybe one of the campsites a it further away. And honestly despite what you read, they aren't that far away from the festival site.

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
