With a Weekend Ticket, you can enter and leave the festival and campsite as many times as you want by checking in and out with your bracelet at one of the camping exits. However, you are only allowed to bring in drinks and food the first time you enter. With a Day Ticket, you can enter only once. If you leave the festival site, you cannot re-enter.    

 

Info stands 

The info stands on both Wasted Lands are open 24 hours a day. The stands will be open from Thursday 12:00 until Monday 12:00. The info stands on the festival site have limited opening hours. If you have a question, remark, complaint, or an item for the lost & found, please go to the nearest info stand. We are happy to help you with whatever is on your mind. 

 

Bracelet information point
Do you have any trouble with your Bracelet? Visit one of the Bracelet Information points and we’re happy to help you. Bracelet information points can be found at every entry of Defqon.1, on the festival grounds near the RED, BLUE & BLACK and on the Wasted Lands. If you’d like to view the map, head over to the Defqon.1 app.

 

Camping Guardians
Like last year, we have Camping Guardians available at the campsite. A Camping Guardian is someone you can talk to if you are not feeling well mentally, not feeling safe, or just want to chill and relax for a moment, but not want to be alone. You can find the Camping Guardians at the tipis at the campsite, near the bathhouses.

They will be there Thursday from 12.00 till 03.00, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 09.00 till 04.00. 

Not feeling well physically? Go to the First Aid stand at campsite 1, near campsite 4 / bus entrance or campsite 5. If you’d like to view the map, head over to the Defqon.1 app.

Stay until Monday 
Going by car and staying for the weekend? We recommend you stay until Monday for the following reasons:

• Avoid getting stuck in traffic on Sunday evening.
• After 3 or 4 days of raving at Defqon.1, it's best to have a good night's sleep before you drive home. Please don't take any risks.
• Every night at the Camping Grounds is a gift. Relax at The Wasted Lands with your tribe at the campfire during this final night before you leave for another year. Trust us, it's worth it.

To all the Warriors

4 days of partying requires lots of energy. Take some rest, drink, sleep enough, and keep in mind that the evenings and nights could get cold. Take care of yourself and each other, so we can all look back at another legendary edition.

 

Do you need a moment of rest during the festival? Then you can visit one of our chill-out areas to unwind and recharge by enjoying the finest relaxing beats played by our team of music DJs.
