Festivals take extra measures due to announced heat

Cirque Magique in Bossuit places an extra tent in front of the shade. And the metal festival Alcatraz in Kortrijk is also taking measures against the heat, they predict up to 33 degrees. Pieter Desmet, Alcatraz organization: “On Saturday and Sunday, very warm weather is forecast in the afternoon, especially in the afternoon. We are taking a number of measures for this, such as handing out bottles of water to visitors and stands where we provide free sun cream. In addition, 3 of our 4 stages are indoor, so there is already protection from the sun in those tents. We also have the metal café and a large shelter, our dining tent, where people can also seek shelter from the sun.”
