With a Priority Parking Card, you’ll have exclusive access to our parking area located at the Northside of Defqon.1, adjacent to campsite 0 (The Sanctuary and The Highlands). You can park your car close to the festival grounds and you have less chance of getting stuck in traffic upon arrival and departure because you come via a different route. If you purchased a Travel & Stay accommodation, you’ll be able to park as close as possible to your accommodation. Keep in mind that Priority Parking is only available in combination with a Defqon.1 Weekend Ticket. 

You only need one parking ticket per car, regardless of how many people are in the vehicle. This applies to all parking tickets (Priority, Regular and Park + Ride). If you have a Park + Ride ticket, the shuttle bus service is included. Please note that Park + Ride tickets can only be used once — it is not possible to enter and leave the parking area multiple times with this ticket. With a Weekend Parking ticket, you can enter and leave the parking area once every festival day. 

Be aware we don’t provide any charging points for electric cars. The Defqon.1 parking lots are only meant for cars, so it is not allowed to park your camper, caravans, trailers or big vans. Small vans are allowed (max. 9 passenger van). It’s not allowed to sleep in your car or to camp in surrounding areas outside of the Defqon.1 Camping Grounds. A solar carport has been installed over the Defqon.1 parking area. Because of this, please note that there are limited dimensions for vehicles parking here. You can find these below. 

We strongly recommend traveling to Defqon.1 with cars that have a height of less than 1.90 meters. Cars above this height are not able to park on the normal parking terrain and are therefore referred by the parking attendants to park in another designated area. From there, you will have to walk a longer distance to the entrance of Defqon.1. The maximum dimensions for the solar-carport area is: 4.4 meters length, 1,90 meter width, and 1,90 meter height. 
These maximum dimensions do not apply to the Priority Parking and the Park + Ride. With Priority Parking, you will enter campsite 0 (reserved for The Sanctuary & The Highlands) directly, and everyone using the Park & Ride will instantly gain access to campsites 1-4 through the Bus Entrance. The Regular Parking will only give you access to campsites 5-6. Are some of your friends going by bus and others by car? In this case you can walk over to your friends at campsite 5 and 6 so you can camp together. It is not possible to take your friends, who came by car, to campsite 1-4. 
Please note that the Priority Parking cards are sold out.

One of the most popular and convenient travel options to the Holy Grounds is by transfer bus. Defqon.1 organizes bus transfers that will take you from four of the biggest train stations in The Netherlands straight to the bus entrance next to the Defqon.1 Camping Grounds. If you are bringing your own tent, coming by Bus Transfer guarantees a spot on campsite 1 to 4 closest to the festival grounds. On Monday the Transfer bus will take you back to the original pick-up location. (https://shop.q-dance.com/en/defqon-1-2026/transportation/bus-transfers-tickets)

If you come with an electric bike, it is not allowed to bring the battery to the camping or festival grounds to put in a locker. Leaving the battery on your bike is at your own risk for theft. 

Are you being dropped off and picked up? Please make sure to follow the “Defqon.1” signs first. After following these signs, the ‘Kiss & Ride’ location will be indicated separately. Please do not choose a different pick-up location after the festival, as some roads may be closed. The ‘Kiss & Ride’ location will be clearly marked on all roads near Defqon.1 for both drivers and visitors. Visitors can also order an Uber during opening hours. If you choose to get an Uber, their pick-up location will be at the Kiss & Ride. The Kiss & Ride is accessible 24 hours a day. 

There will be a taxi stand available at the parking area. This location will be clearly marked for both taxi drivers and visitors. Taxis aren’t allowed to stop at other locations. We strongly advise you to arrange a different kind of transportation, since finding a taxi after the event might cause disruption. 

If you come to Defqon.1 by car, you will get a spot at campsite 5 or 6. If you prefer to stay at another campsite, we highly recommend taking the bus to Defqon.1. Bus attendees (also Park + Ride) are guaranteed a spot on campsite 1-4. 
As an eco-conscious festival, we wholeheartedly encourage everyone to use organized transportation. By reducing the number of cars heading to Defqon.1, we can also minimize pollution and decrease traffic congestion. 
Do you have a spot at The Sanctuary, The Highlands, The Friends Camp or are you in possession of a Premium ticket? Then please take the fast lane at each entrance to access campsite 0-4.
