Yes, of course, there will be food trucks selling delicious vegetarian dishes. You can also buy drinks at the various different bars.

We are trying our best to make the festival accessible to all, but we cannot guarantee that moving around in a wheelchair will be easy. There are risks of getting stuck if it rains because the ground is not paved. For more information, please contact us at info@paradisecity.be.

Yes, near the festival's entrance. We provide lockers to keep your stuff safe. Keep in mind these will cost you €7 for a small one and €9 for a large one.

Unfortunately, there will be no wifi at the festival, but we will provide extra 4G coverage.

You can't. We are a cashless festival.

Yes, you will find our power benches in various locations across the festival. These may cost a small fee to use.

Yes, we do. Please check our Get Involved page for more information.

Bad temper - seriously. Paradise City is about gathering happy people, so mutual respect and respect for the environment are essential to being a good Citizen.

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards violence and intimidating behaviour, discrimination and sexual intimidation. Weapons, knives, glass, spray cans, regular cans, fireworks and umbrellas are not permitted.

Our festival grounds are located on the beautiful castle grounds, so please be responsible and throw your garbage in the trash cans. Any behaviour that damages the natural domain will not be tolerated (this includes urinating outside the toilet areas).

We also have a zero-tolerance policy on drugs. You’ll be extensively searched when entering the festival. And don’t get too wasted! Visitors who are too drunk will be removed from the premises. Stealing or destroying properties of Paradise City or other parties is strictly forbidden! Visitors enter the festival grounds at their own risk.

The organization is not responsible for any damage, both physically and mentally. Always follow the guidelines of the site stewards, security and emergency services.

The festival manager always has the last word in a discussion. Use common sense and do not put others in danger.

Lost items can be found at the info point during the festival. After the festival, they can be found at the police station at KASTZE (Tervuursesteenweg 295, 1820 Steenokkerzeel). The police station is open every day between 07:00 and 19:00.

Yes, but only multi-use plastics (including drinking bottles) are permitted, provided they're empty. You can fill your empty water bottles at the drinking fountains on-site.

Paradise City Festival holds a zero-tolerance drug policy. The security and local authorities WILL do thorough searches at the entrance. Getting caught with drugs on-site may result in having your bracelet cut and legal consequences.

Bringing your own alcohol is also not permitted - there are plenty of bars on-site and on the campsite.

Yes, you can. But please enjoy the festival with your senses, not through a lens or a phone display.

Please know that by entering the festival, you automatically agree to and accept the terms of use of all video filming and photo image registrations and agree to allow Paradise City and her media partners to use these images. You will then find photos of the events on our Facebook page and Instagram account.

If you have press inquiries, please send an email to ann@lab2.be (Subject: Paradise City Festival).

Ticket sales have started and you can get yours via our ticket shop. We are currently in the final ticket waves, so some tickets may have sold out already and will not be available anymore.

You can buy tickets for other people too. Just be aware that there is a limit of 10 tickets per order.

Please check your spam! This can happen sometimes.

Only after a double (and triple) check can you ask to resend your tickets via this link.

Everybody is welcome at Paradise City Festival, and kids under 12 can even enter free of charge. However, all kids under 18 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians. Alcohol will only be sold to people over 18.

Please keep in mind that Paradise City is a festival for adults, not kids. For the younger ones, please provide noise protection. Free earplugs are available at the festival.

If you want to sell your ticket, we kindly redirect you to our Ticketswap page. Please do not post on our social media platforms—we will delete all those comments, as they can be confused for scam tactics.

At the festival entrance, we will scan and link your ticket to your wristband. Once this is activated, you can check in (and check out) during your stay by scanning your wristband.

To charge your wristband with credits, you can scan the QR code on your wristband with your Payconiq by Bancontact app or you can use one of our many top-up desks where we accept cards.

When you want to have a drink or buy some food, you just have to scan your wristband. It’s as simple as that! Your available balance will be displayed after every purchase. If you're not sure how many credits you have, just ask the bartender. Note that we use reusable cups and that they have a recoverable deposit of €1,50.

This year, we have two wristband charging options for you:

• Top-up desks: spread across the festival grounds, where you can pay with your debit or credit card.

• Your banking app: if your banking app is linked to Payconiq by Bancontact, you can directly top up your wristband. Just scan the QR code in the app.

After every order you place, your leftover credits will be shown on the device at the bar. If you forget how many credits you have left, just go to a bar or cash desk and ask one of our crew members.

If you still have some money left on your wristband after the festival, you can simply ask for a refund on our website between July 2 (08:00) and July 9 (23:59).

That said, you will also be able to donate the credits left on your wristband to River Cleanup, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping Belgium’s waterways healthy and clean. If you don't request a refund, your amount left will be transfered to River Cleanup automatically.

And no worries, there is no GPS tracking device placed in your wristband, so the Paradise City Big Brother crew won’t be able to track you down (although this is on our to-do list for our 2084 edition).

Note: if you would like to get a refund, please be aware that we will charge a small service fee. The exact amount is still unknown to us (it's a Playpass fee), but it will be something like €0,25.

There is no limit! But for your own safety, the maximum amount you can recharge at once is €450.

No, we do not accept any cash anywhere.

Yes! You can charge your wristband at the info booth at the campsite entrance.

If you leave Paradise City and want to come back the same day, you’ll have to check yourself out at the exit. This can be done easily: scan your wristband on the black boxes found at the exit, et voila.

It is your responsibility to check yourself out! Failing to do so may cause problems when checking back in the same day. Once you are ready to go to bed, you can exit the festival without checking yourself. We will reset all access control, and you can scan your wristband the next day, if you bought a ticket, of course!

Our breakfast buffet is freely available for every camper on Saturday and Sunday from 08.00h until 11.30h and on Monday from 08.00h until 10.30h. The sooner you get your breakfast, the shorter the line!

We also have a Healing Zone near the festival entrance. This area is designated for people who have encountered harassment of any kind and who need a break. Please do not come and take a look if that's not the case. We have a dedicated team of trained and approachable volunteers (called the Angels of Paradise) who are walking around the site in recognizable pink vests. If you deal with harassment (or if you see someone does), please approach these volunteers.

Please be aware that these people and our first aid workers are responsible for your and others' safety, so it’s highly recommended that you follow their instructions carefully.

Additionally, a trained security team is also permanently present on and around the festival.

Keep an eye out for each other and act if you see others deal with harassment of any kind. Our Angels of Paradise are easy to spot with their pink vests. Please approach them if you have any kind of issue or if you're feeling unwell. These volunteers are well-trained to deal with these situations and they will listen to any problem you may have. If needed, our Angels of Paradise will take you to the Healing Zone, where you can escape the rowdiness and catch your breath.

Please have a look at our Citizenship page to learn more about our policies and code of conduct.

Free foam earplugs will also be available at the Info stand. We count on you to throw them in the bin and not on the floor. New this year: BLOX will have a collection point at the Info stand for used foam earplugs, so that they can be recycled and made into components for street furniture (bench, table, etc.).

Of course, but only if it’s legal medication. In case of medicines that might be considered sketchy, please bring prescriptions or doctor's notes to avoid confusion at the security check.
