Tickets can be bought 24/7 online through our preferred partner, Eventix,  or – as long as we’re not sold out – at the entrance on our festival days. Besides purchasing your ticket, please make sure to download it to your mobile telephone. Printing your ticket is, therefore, not necessary; saving trees is.

When buying a ticket to WECANDANCE, you automatically agree to our general terms and conditions and privacy policy. Tickets cannot be cancelled nor exchanged for another festival day.

In case you can no longer attend the event, we invite you to use our official resale partner TicketSwap to safely resell your ticket.

Our timetable will be available on our website and all digital platforms by the end of July. Head to the first batch of names on our lineup to get in the mood.

BY BICYCLE

For everyone joining us by bike: we have a bike park at your disposal close to our festival entrance; please bring a lock to leave your bike safely. Don’t attach your bike to any public railings, you risk having it removed and we hope you respect our neighbours as much as we do.

BY TRAIN  

Our festival site is easily accessible by train; the “ZEEBRUGGE STRAND” station is only a 2min walk to our festival entrance. You can travel from any Belgian station to our beach and even return to Bruges late at night using our first-time-ever-night trains for € 13!

Night trains are only accessible with a ‘Night Train Ticket’ and travel each Saturday and Sunday of both weekends. Presales start on 19.07; places are limited, so make sure to book your ticket on time. More info on sncb.be/wecandance.

BY TRAM

The nearest stop next to the festival site is called “ZEEBRUGGE STRANDWIJK“. For more info and time schedules, please visit www.delijn.be. More info about our extra late-night tram lines is coming soon!

BY CAR

We advise you to carpool; the more passengers, the merrier. Don’t drink and drive, and never join a driver who is not sober. Make sure your designated driver is wide awake.

You can get your parking ticket through our ticket shop, keep an eye on this page and our socials for the correct address later this year.

BY TAXI / DROP OFF

A designated taxi, kiss & ride and private hire pick–up area will be available at the start and end of WECANDANCE; please follow the signs.

WECANDANCE is a fully cashless festival! On our beach, you will only be able to use one method of payment: the chip on your wristband. Using our currency- W’s – ensures quicker payments and faster queueing at our bar and food courts so you can all concentrate on dancing rather than standing in line! You can:

– pre-load your wristbands with W’s online

– top them up during the festival at one of the booths

– use the QR on the wristband

Do note that all cups, pets and other single plastics have value this year to prevent anything from ending up on the beach. Exchange your empty cup or pets at the bars to get your deposited money back.

So, you bought a first wave DAY or WKND ticket(s)? As you might have noticed, these are not entry tickets yet! When you have chosen the day or weekend, you’ll be joining us, please redeem your first wave ticket by using the code top left of your ticket pdf as an action code on our ticket shop and you’ll receive your entry ticket in your inbox. The same flow goes for our gift cards and vouchers.

Single VIP tickets for WECANDANCE are not for sale. Our VIP tables and boxes this year, ‘Ariel’ and ‘Splash’, include entry tickets for all guests, parking vouchers and W’s to spend. Each zone also offers a VIP food menu for you to enjoy. Our VIP tables and boxes are limited daily, so make sure to book them in time.

For more info about all packages or bookings, please contact vip@wecandance.be.

As an organization, we do what we do to offer all our visitors an experience that generates the feeling of being free. Freedom is a feeling of relief, bliss and being able to be yourself; these are all irreversibly linked to feeling safe, supported and respected. As part of our festival community, we expect everyone entering our beach to respect one another and act supportive. We don’t do rules at WECANDANCE; we have expectations; read them in full through this link.

We strive to thoroughly place inclusion, equity and diversity at the heart of everything we do. We seek to represent a balanced and honest reflection of society in selecting our organizing team, bar staff, security, artists, collaborating freelancers and anyone else involved. At WECANDANCE, we aim to make everyone feel welcome, heard and valued.

Know that help is all around you to use your voice during and after the festival. You can;

• Talk to our crew
• Contact us via WhatsApp (operational during the festival)
• Head to our safe space
• Look for our EHBO

All our first-aid tent staff and employees (at the bar, cleaning up or wandering around enjoying their accomplishment) are trained on how to act when someone demands help. We hope you feel safe and free to ask and share anything.

— We do not tolerate sexual, physical, or verbal assault and harassment, discrimination, racism, homophobia, sexism and transphobia. We have a zero-tolerance approach when dealing with these matters.

— Using alcohol or other substances is never without risk; pay attention to how you feel and know your limits. Reach out if you feel insecure, need help or advice and know that alcohol and drug cause dehydration, so please drink enough water.

— Enjoy yourself responsibly: always listen to your personal rhythm, and don’t try to keep up with your friends. And always ask for consent; this means an agreement by choice and having the freedom and capacity to make that choice; consent can be revoked at any time.

 — If you need someone who needs (medical) help, please look for support. Make sure to use our free sunscreen, use earplugs where beats are loud and stay hydrated. Check in with each other and yourself regularly to ensure everyone on our beach is having the time of their lives.

Thanks for being a part of our community; we love you!

We kindly ask our visitors, teams, artists and suppliers to help us reach our sustainable goals. And even when it seems super easy and everyone knows the drill, it’s quite the task to be kind to the planet as a festival (on the beach).

Here are some things you can do as a visitor to help us reach our sustainable goals:

1. LEAVE NO TRACE — cups and bottles have a value, make sure to return them to get your money back and keep the beach clean.
2. HELP US RECYCLE — you know the drill, use the correct bin to throw away your trash.
3. CIGARETTE BUTS — we don’t want to see them in the sand. Your cigarette buts belong in our ashtrays (we upcycle them) or pocket ashtrays (free at the scream shop).
4. USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT — or try to carpool the more passengers; the merrier!

Read an overview of our honest path to becomig a more sustainable festival here, it covers all things we did in the past and plan on doing in the future. New techniques arise and cross our path every day towards a greener future for festivals – like us – on the beach. It’s a growing process; it’s more than a lot of work, but most of all: our growth is necessary. We’re in this together for our future and the overall future of festivals. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts (and earth) to generate a positive impact on our beach.

 “We don’t want our love of dancing to come at the cost of the planet any more than it already did.”

We’re celebrating 10 years on Zeebrugge beach in August and won’t let it go unnoticed. For the occasion, we have chosen to organize a festive ode to the underwater world and all things shore in 2023! On Saturday 5, Sunday 6, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13th of August, our boutique festival will give our visitors a sea of possibilities to enjoy our magical festival beach with experiences focusing on music, food & fashion. A theme that brings an ode to the ocean, a surprising lineup and a classy bottle of champagne: read all about it on our LinkedIn.

Sorry for the bummer, but there are no official WECANDANCE afterparties. If you’re not ready to go home after the festival, check out the neighbouring clubs. Please remember to travel safe anywhere you go, respect our neighbours and keep an eye out for each other.

We get that you ask this question, but we’d like to reassure you that WECANDANCE is not a dresscode required festival. Our theme is an inspiration for us, as a festival, to indulge our atmosphere and decorations. We decorate all stages and experiences in this year’s Sea, Sand & Sun theme to take you on an aquatic beach holiday. We love for you to come as you are and use our theme as an inspiration to feel free to be yourselves unapologetically. Wear that one item you’ve never worn before. Grab that shimmering dress from your parent’s closet: be. you. And feel free!

W’s are our own currency, W’s are only valid during WECANDANCE and are only sold in multiples of € 10. You can ask for a refund or donate your unspent W’s after our second weekend on our website for a limited time.

Yes, we do! Don’t forget to get your stuff before leaving. All items left behind after the festival ends will be gathered and brought to the local police of Zeebrugge and stored for a limited time.

We want you to take care of your ears! Please use earplugs where beats are loud. Ask for our free earplugs – at our bars, safe space, ehbo and helpdeks.

Sounds like a good plan! Make sure to mail your details to info@wecandance.be.
