For the opening hours of the WiSH Outdoor campsite (Camp WOW!), check out the camping FAQ below.
Of course! Set times will be announced on the website a few days before the festival. In case you missed the online timetable, festival guides will be passed out upon entrance.
As the summer kicks in on June 21st, the weather in July is generally perfect for an outdoor festival. During the day, the average temperature is between 20-30 degrees Celcius. At night, the temperature drops to around 10-15 degrees, give or take a few. Even though we sacrifice and pray to the weather Gods every day, be sure to check out the latest weather forecast!
Yes! With over 900 active volunteers, WiSH Outdoor has one of the highest volunteer-participation rates in the Dutch festival scene. We are always looking for new relatives to join this massive family. Check out the application form here!
We love to see that you bring lots of happiness, friendship and love to the festival! However, it's not possible to bring food and drinks to the festival, since there will be plenty of food- and drinkareas at the festival site. From high class food to french fries and burgers; WiSH Outdoor has got it all!
If you have a prescription and/or a medical health card, you can bring your medicines to the festival. Please send an e-mail to info@wishevents.nl about your medication and we'll take care of it. Otherwise it won't be possible to take your medication.
How about NO.
Because, like most Dutch festivals, we have a zero tolerance policy on any kind of drugs.
Depends on how much you're carrying with you. Punishment differs from banishment from our wonderland up to a trip with the local police.
In the worst case, you are sentenced to an 18-hour non-stop Justin Bieber concert marathon.
Mail your question(s) to info@wishevents.nl and we will send you an answer ASAP!
Hell yeah! And they are for free, too!
Plenty. But anyways, there is no bad weather, so don’t you worry , don’t you worry child.
You see, heaven’s got a plan for good weather. But just to be sure, check out the actual weather forecast ;)!
Yep.
Lockers will be available just past the entrance gate.
A wide variety of different types of food. From hamburgers till healthy food. Fries. Asian food. Fruits. Vegetables. Pancakes. Vegetarian food.. and there is MUCH more!
Card (Mastercard/VISA/Maestro) and Cash!
Nope. The closest ATM is on a 5 minute walk from the festival (Location ATM: Rabobank – Koppelstraat – Beek en Donk). If you need some urgent cash, make sure you withdraw cash before you enter the festival.
Yes and no. There are no Home Alone alike situations with falling objects or hidden traps. There are, however, a lot of possibilities for men to get caught up with a woman at the festival. Once you’ve been caught, you cannot escape her because of her abnormal sexy body and looks. That’s what we call a boobie-trap.
Bring along your medical certificated or prescription (together with your ID). In case you would like to bring your own food to the festival, please contact us via info@wishevents.nl.
There will be several first aid points on the festival. Clearly marked and visible. The first aid team consists of a group of medical experts that can cure any problem. We believe they have a special gift. So if something happens, you will be getting the best possible care. Please, be nice to them. Or what…? Remember Dr. Banner? That’s like a supercool friend of them. Enough said.
Yes, yes and yes. Really nice sunglasses/hats by the way.
Yes. We know. Today’s mobile phone batteries suck. Remember the years, remember the times, remember the moments you could play snake for 24 hours straight and losing only 10% of your battery.. Anyways, cell phone charging will be available.
Yes. Lost items can be found at the information point on the festival. Make sure that your mobile phone/wallet has distinct characters (e.g. photo) so that it will be easier to identify. Important! If you lose your friends on the festival, they cannot be found at the information desk. In most cases.
We sell them on ebay/craigslist. No seriously, in the first 2 days after the festival you can e-mail info@wishevents.nl. At wednesday we hand them over to the local government and they will try and trace the rightful owners. Check out www.laarbeek.nl for more information.
15 euro per car. Expensive? Hell no.
Check this out: on average, you have to pay €2,61 per hour in an average Dutch city to park your car.
12 x 2,61 = 31,32. So our parking lot is €21,32 less expensive. Ka-chinggggg.
Yes. The parking lot has plenty of parking spaces. Nevertheless, we suggest you do a little carpool, as this will reduce traffic! The trip (by foot) from the parking zone to the festival will take you about 5-7 minutes. (3 minutes if you walk really, really fast).
The festival and campsite are located at the Lekerstraat in Beek en Donk. Once you are getting closer to Beek en Donk, follow the WiSH Outdoor traffic signs!
There are two train stations near WiSH Outdoor:
- Station Helmond (15 minute drive by car/taxi or 20 minutes via public transport)
- Station Eindhoven (25 minute drive by car/taxi or 35 minutes via public transport)
The train station in Eindhoven is the biggest one and has the most destinations. Via www.9292ov.nl you can make a personal public transport plan!
A shuttle-bus between WiSH Outdoor and station Eindhoven will be available after the festival on saturday.
No, of course not!
That depends on the pre-sale. Chances are that the festival will be sold out (for the 5th time in a row), so be smart and buy your ticket during the pre-sale (they are also less expensive during the pre-sale period).
Damaged or tampered with wristbands will not be granted access to the festival.
No. You get one wristband for all festival days :)!
NEVER buy tickets from third parties. We cannot guarantee that the ticket you’ve bought is legit. Do you really want to risk the chance of obtaining a false ticket for too much money? Be smart and buy your ticket exclusively via the regular ticket points (www.wishoutdoor.com).
A few minutes after you’ve ordered your tickets via the webshop, a confirmation e-mail will be sent with your e-tickets. Be sure to also check your junk mail folder, in case the e-mail is seen as spam!
Contact us via info@wishevents.nl. We’ll see what we can do.
Tickets can be purchased online via www.wishoutdoor.com (Ticketscript) or in one of the regional ticketsale companies in the Netherlands (check them out here).
Nope.
The WiSH Outdoor tickets are generated by Ticketscript. If you have any questions/problems regarding your e-ticket, please contact Ticketscript via www.ticketscript.com.
Send an e-mail to info@wishevents.nl and together we're going to look for a solution. Don’t worry about small spelling mistakes: they should not cause any problems at the entrance.
Did you already check your Junk mail / SPAM / Quarantine folder? Still nothing? If so, please contact the customer service of Ticketscript via www.ticketscript.com. They’ve got really cool people that will help you with your e-tickets!
No problem. With a camping ribbon (+ festival ribbon), you can leave the festival site and return without any problems.
Of course, you’ll have to pass security again, so be sure you don’t take anything illegal with you!
The campsite is right next to the festival. Just follow the signs when you are getting closer to the festival and you will find the campsite!
Nope. Only tents.
On Friday (July 1st), you can reach the campsite/festival by public transport. From Veghel and Helmond, you have to take busline 25 to Beek en Donk. The closest busstop is ‘de Brug’. From Eindhoven or Gemert, you have to take bus line 21 if you want to stop at ‘de Brug’. After 6:00 PM, you can also take bus line 122 from Eindhoven and Gemert to bus stop ‘de Donk’.
Yes.
Camp WOW! will be equipped with a wide variety of delicious food. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? No problem!
18. No exceptions.
Camp WOW! will be open on Friday, July 1st, at 13:00 PM and will close Monday, July 4th, at 12:00 AM.
On the parking lot. Check out the general info ;)
As soon as the campsite ticket has been scanned at the entrance, you will receive a camping ribbon and the ticket will expire. The ribbon is non-transferrable. Therefore, it has no use to pass on the ticket, since it will lose its value as soon as you enter.
No. In order to gain access to the festival, a separate ticket has to be bought. Click here to buy your festival tickets!
There will be on-site security at all times as well as a first aid unit (open 24/7). There will also be ninja’s to safeguard your belongings, but you will probably not see them. Ninja-style.
Of course. You will have plenty of room to transform yourself into party-mode. Are the showers free? YESSSS! FREE WATER everywhere!
The showers can be used between somewhere in the morning and somewhere in the evening. This will be communicated on-site.
Well, that’s is pretty difficult. There are several options. You could arrive on a time that everyone of you could arrive. This could be, for example, Friday at noon. If you are not able to manage a time in which everyone can settle, perhaps you could already take an extra tent with you? This will guarantee a spot for your friends next to you.
The campsite is only like 300 metres away from the festival. So you would be pretty messed up if you wouldn’t be able to find it. Nevertheless, there will be plenty of signs directing you towards the campsite. Considering the physical state you’re in since you cannot find the campsite (which is like clearly visible), you will probably also miss the signs. Therefore, plenty of staff will be available to give you directions.
What is a campsite without some good old coffee? Yes, there will be a place to get coffee/hot water etc.
The closest ATM is located on a 5-minute walk from the campsite (Rabobank – Koppelstraat 91). Ask the camping-staff for more details.
As long as they buy a ticket, sure you can ;)!
Nope. Not really. Although a tent is pretty comfortable compared to sleeping naked outside on a fold table. You can sleep anywhere you want, as long as you don’t violate one of the rules. E.g. don’t sleep in the fire lanes or on unauthorized places on the campsite.
Towards the festival it will take you approximately 2 minutes. From the festival to the campsite probably 10 minutes ;).
You can take 2 litres of alcohol towards the campsite. Be aware that it has a maximum of 15% alcohol in it. Of course, on the campsite there will be plenty of COLD booze/soda available for decent supermarket prices! :)
As much as you want!
N-n-n-n-n-nope. All open fire is forbidden.
We Love Lamp.
