Leaving the Camping Grounds 

With a Weekend Ticket, you are allowed to leave and return to the Defqon.1 Festival and Camping Grounds as often as you’d like. You and your belongings will be checked by entrance security each time you enter the campsite. Please note that you can only bring your food and drinks on to the Camping Grounds the first time you enter the camping. When you leave the Camping Grounds and get back, it is not possible to bring new drinks and food to your campsite. Also drinks bought on The Wasted Lands are not allowed to bring to the festivalsite.

When leaving the Camping Grounds, please make sure to follow the signs 'camping exit' and use the camping exit.

When leaving the Camping Grounds as a Premium visitor, please check out with your wristband. Otherwise re-entering will not be possible.

With a Day Ticket you can only enter once, so if you leave the festival site you cannot enter again.

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 festivalsite 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.

Camping Guardians 

This 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 don't want to be alone. You can find the Camping Guardians near 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 and campsite 5.

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. 
• Do not forget that the final shuttle bus to Station Dronten on Sunday leaves before the end of the festival. 
• The last shuttle bus to Park + Ride on Sunday night leaves at 00:30 to the P+R location

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 glorious edition as One Tribe. 

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.
