  • Q
    QUALITY NIGHTS

    Together with Quality Nights, a company that provides health services for clubs and dance events, we offer
    several free measures to optimize your festival experience:
    • Safe transport: avoid driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. Spend the night at our campsite
    or at the Extrema Resort, designate a BOB, use public transport or travel to and from the festival with one of our
    Party buses.
    • Free earplugs are available at the Safe ‘n Sound information stand. Rest in a quiet zone to give yourself and
    your ears a break. Do you frequently go to concerts, performances and/or festivals? Consider getting custom
    earplugs which are more comfortable and protect your ears better without negatively impacting the sound quality.
    • You can get free drinking water at all taps in the toilet areas.
    • Free condoms are available at the Safe ‘n Sound information stand. Set your boundaries and respect the
    boundaries of others. No means no.
    • Try something different: healthy eating & drinking is important to recover. Did you know that every caterer at the
    festival also has vegetarian and vegan options?
    • Be sensible with alcohol and other drugs. Taste and discover our range of non-alcoholic drinks at the bars.

    More information can be found on Safe ’N Sound and Quality Nights.

    NEED HELP?
     
    A  

    Despite all the measures we take and despite your good intentions to deal wisely with intoxicants, accidents can
    still happen. If you or one of your friends does not feel well, never hesitate to go to one of the first-aid posts on
    the festival site. The Red Cross staff is fully trained, equipped and moreover ready to help you. Tell them
    honestly what complaints you are experiencing and what you may have taken so they can help to the best of their ability.

  • Q
    RULES & PROCEDURES
     
    A  

    CARMA, the local police unit, is present on and around the festival site and checks for possession, use and sale of
    illegal drugs. When a festival visitor is found to possess drugs, a procedure of immediate
    amicable settlement (OMS) will be used which results in the user paying a fine. Those who are suspected of
    dealing drugs are brought before an investigating judge or summoned via summary court.
