Yup, it's an improvement, but those days are still model based (you can see it on the temperature jumps). Hopefully they're right though, so let's cross our fingers 🙂 BTW, if you like yr.no, I would recommend using pent.no instead. Then you get the two major Norwegian weather services (yr.no & storm.no) combined. A nice way of seeing patterns and get an idea of certainty.

gingerevans84 Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Hey all, not been Werchter for over 10 years. Are there any supermarkets in the town? I remember having to walk to Haacht before for supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaboom Boxer Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Watching the Glastonbury coverage on the BBC all weekend has really whetted my appetite for Werchter. Some great performances from people on the line up. Fred Again, Editors, Lil Nas X, Christine and the Queens, Nova Twins, Dermot Kennedy and The Teskey Brothers have all absolutely smashed their sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the streams did make me wonder how Rock Werchter is missing out on Rina Sawayama and especially Young Fathers (!). Both are around.

AlexR Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Does anyone know if there is a shop (like mini supermarket) on site like how some UK festivals have a Co-op. I can't seem to find one on the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like our best bet is either a 3 mile walk to a local supermarket (https://www.google.be/maps/place/Delhaize+Haacht/@50.977033,4.6352711,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c15f64197b03f1:0x9bf3f57366663a14!8m2!3d50.9770296!4d4.6374598!16s%2Fg%2F1vg4hyw2) or getting the shuttle bus back to Leuven to stock up there.

Kaboom Boxer Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Forecast looking absolutely grim for every day except Sunday 😬 how muddy does the Hive get and how well does the main festival site hold up to rain and heavy thunderstorms?

Nicklord Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) I don't think we can judge the forecast yet (even tho it's in 3 days) - I see several websites showing completely different things. Last year there was some rain and I don't think there were any problems in the campsite and festival Edited June 26, 2023 by Nicklord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year there was some rain and I don't think there were any problems in the campsite and festival there was some mud at the campsite (hive) at the most frequented spots but nothing too dramatic iirc. does anyone have some experience with hive myspace? I booked an 8m² spot for me and my girlfriend and now I'm wondering how strict the space is allocated as we'd like to bring a gazebo/party tent due to the expected rain. However such a gazebo typically measures 3x3m... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohad Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 If my brother arrives to Leuven on Wednesday after 10pm, is there another way to get to the festivalpark other than the shuttles (ends by 10)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmolvik Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 2 hours ago, Kaboom Boxer said: Will I need wellies / waterproof boots? If the "worst case forecasts" becomes reality, I would definitely recommend wellies in the festival area. A few hours of light rain won't be a problem and won't make your shoes more than dirty, but if it comes in the amounts that has been predicted in some forecasts it will be muddy in areas. It's also worse if the rain comes toward the start of the festival. We had one edition where it rained all for days and even though organizers were really good at covering up the worst areas during night time, it still was really muddy. You don't lose much of bringing them with you. Yeah, they take up space, but just pack them full of stuff 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name taken Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Latest predictions show some rain on thursdaynight. Saturday may be rainy. Friday and Sunday very okay. It’s not raining for days now, so the grounds are not muddy before the start, that’s a thing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
