Be sure to bring sunscreen and if necessary, rainwear. The concert tent provides shelter, but the side walls are open and most of the grounds are not covered. Nights get chilly in August.

We try hard to create a crystal-clear sound at a pleasant volume but earplugs are available at the information booth if needed.

There are no lockers or checkrooms for visitors. So don’t make it too hard on yourself and don’t carry too much.

Out of respect for the musicians and other visitors, we ask you to be as quiet as possible during the concerts, especially in the concert tent and right next to it. 

Do you want to have a chat? Great! Take a seat on the terraces a bit further away from the concert tent or wait until the concert is over. This way everyone can fully enjoy the festival.

We are a family festival, so children are most welcome. Children up to 3 years old can enter for free. 4 to 12 year-olds enjoy the children’s rate of 8 €. 

The children’s entertainment on site is included in the children’s tickets.

The seats in the concert tent are not numbered. You can sit wherever you want, except in the area reserved for VIPs.

There are no seats provided in the concert tent on these days. Due to safety reasons, we cannot allow visitors to put chairs in the tent. Seats are available just outside the tent. We also do provide an area for wheelchair users and their companions that is also open to pregnant women and people who have trouble standing.

Vaccination certificates or negative coronation tests are not required to gain access to the festival. Mouth-nose masks are not required anywhere on the grounds but you are free to wear one if you prefer to. 

If you have symptoms of corona (sore throat, cough, feverish…) or feel ill, we ask you to stay at home and pass your ticket to someone who is not ill.

Toilets on Jazz Middelheim are free of charge. Some are accessible by wheelchair. Please, help us keep these facilities clean and inform our staff if something is not right so we can solve it quickly. 

Urinating in the park is not allowed. Those who do so will be escorted off the festival grounds.

Yes, you will get a wristband as you enter the festival. This bracelet will allow you to leave and access the festival grounds during the rest of the day. Always keep this bracelet on and do not try to loosen it. Without a valid and intact festival bracelet, you will no longer have access to the festival grounds or concerts.

Park den Brandt, Beukenlaan 20, Antwerp (Wilrijk)

The festival has no campsite but the city of Antwerp has a lot of nice hotels and a campsite. We prefer August, our partner hotel, but feel free to explore the different options Antwerp has to offer.

Turning your visit to Jazz Middelheim into a city trip? Great idea! Here are some tips and suggestions.

All drinks are served in reusable cups. When ordering, 1 euro deposit is charged per cup.

You can hand in used cups at the bars when placing a new order. The deposit will be deducted from the total amount of the new order. Don’t you want to order anything else? Submit the cups to the return points to have the deposit credited to your account. 

Keep in mind that it may take a few days for the transactions to be processed and the money to be in your account.

At all sales points, foodtrucks and bars bank cards (master card, maestro, VISA) are accepted. Payments with cash are not possible. If you have no bank card available, you can ask for a rechargeable card at the information point and pay for it with cash.

We don’t allow visitors to bring their own food and beverages*. The catering is an important part of our revenue, needed to pay for the festival, the artists and crew. 

*except baby food and special diet meals
