Red Day Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 5 hours ago, McCallion said: Just had a proper research, RW do an great job of hiding info on their website. Campers with a camping The Hive ticket, a camping ticket for The Hive Resort or a camping ticket for The Hive Mobilhomes can already exchange their combi festival ticket for a combi festival bracelet on Wednesday, at the entrance of The Hive or The Hive Resort. Festivalgoers who already have their bracelet on their wrists, can use the fast lane entrance! This reduces the queuing at the Festivalpark entrance on Thursday to a minimum. So if you arrive on the Wednesday, you can get your wristband from The Hive or Hive Resort I stand corrected. We got wristbanded on the Wednesday last year and the fastlane queue was actually slower and longer than those going in normal gates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been easy until now... no train ticket to give you a hard time, no wristbands to think about (I totally forgot we gotta get those also), and no rain in sight. Getting back to the happy jumpy mood: it's getting closer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots of people talking about bringing cans of beer with them to the Hive. I am wondering what people suggest for this and keeping them cold for the weekend-would I need to buy a cooler and ice in Leuven and hope that this keeps them cold for 4 days? Or is it better to just bring liquor. Thanks! I'm wondering about this too. At festivals in the US, I buy dry ice for the weekend, but I'm not sure how accessible/affordable it is in Leuven, or even Brussels? Anyone know of places you can buy dry ice near the festival?

Boykaar Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hey everyone, i am going to Rock Werchter for the first time and looking forward to listen to all the great bands. Anyone knowing whether dry ice is allowed on the hive campsite or not? If not, what is your method of choice for cooling drinks except for buying fresh ones at the bar? Thanks in advance for any answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to going to Download in the UK, and there is a supermarket and off licence in the Village (their version of the Hive I assume...?), is there something similar at RW?
