It’s easily accessible by public transport, just get yourself to the Sloterdijk station and from there, it’s only a 5 minute walk.

The great thing about festivals is that it’s outdoors, you can enjoy the rays of the sun while being amongst nature. The Music On organization makes sure there are enough chill areas in the outdoors for you to enjoy your relaxing break of all the incredible music madness. Do you see yourself chilling around the festival site already: enjoying a nice cold drink, under the hot sun while swinging in a hammock and enjoying some good company… Sounds like a great time, doesn’t it?
