WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET TO BRAKROCK?

For the easiest trip, we recommend taking the train or bus, or coming with your bike or longboard, as the main entrance is right at the Duffel Train Station. The Duffel train station is your gateway to Brakrock. The address is 40 Stationsstraat.

Duffel is smack dab in the middle of Belgium, just a hop from Brussels and super close to Mechelen and Antwerp. Mechelen and Lier are the closest towns. For the easiest trip to the festival, we recommend taking the train or bus, or coming with your bike or longboard, as the main entrance is right at the Duffel Train Station.

After arriving by train, bike, or car, continue toward the festival entrance. Follow the signs for the F1 cycle highway or the bike node 56, heading along the railway tracks towards Mechelen. Just before crossing the railway bridge over the river, turn left onto the path leading down to the dike.

From there, follow the dike path towards Duffel and the festival site.

WHERE DO I PARK MY VEHICULE?

We've got a free festival parking near Duffel station just for you. Simply drive to Spoorweglaan 2/bus 1, 2570 Duffel. Turn onto Rechtstraat, and then make a right into the parking lot. This parking is completely free and it's about a 20-minute walk to the festival entrance. Please note, parking in the streets around the festival is not allowed, so make sure to use our free parking. Also, this is not a spot for camper parking, and overnight stays are prohibited.

WHAT PAYMENT SYSTEM IS USED?

We're not going fully cashless just yet because we think a cashless setup at Brakrock might not work as well as we’d like. So, we’re sticking with the token machines that take both cash and card. Plus, there's an info point where you can make payments if you need to.

COULD YOU EXPLAIN THE REFILLABLE CUP SYSTEM?

You’ll receive two eco tokens at the entrance of the festival.
* 1 eco token + 1 purchased drink token entitles you to a drink that costs one token.
* 1 eco token + 2 purchased drink tokens entitles you to a drink that costs two tokens.
You can also buy a 1.5-liter pitcher cup. It's convenient to use one big cup to share your drinks with friends. The deposit for one pitcher is 2 tokens, so either 2 eco tokens or two empty cups.
When your drink is finished, you can exchange the empty cup for a new drink. An empty cup is equal to one eco token.

Please note: two eco tokens or two empty cups do not entitle you to a drink.

‍Empty cups must stay on the festival grounds.

No, you can't!

WHAT HAPPENS IF I LOOSE MY REFILLABLE CUP?

If you lose your cup or no longer have an EcoCoin, you’ll need to purchase a new cup. This costs one drink token. Cups are non-refundable.



Please return your last cup to the bar or throw it in the designated bin at the exit. Cups are not allowed to be taken off the premises.

HOW DOES THE DEPOSIT SYSTEM FOR THE FOOD BOWLS WORK?

You can grab a food bowl for free, but just make sure to return it to the collection point. When you order from catering, you’ll need to put down a deposit. That's one token for the food bowl and a spork.
When you bring back your stuff (spork and food bowl), you’ll get your token back, but only if you return everything.
So, if you lose the spork, for example, you’ll get no token back.
