LOOK. Chaos again after concert Harry Styles: “Really hell, that will be a night in the station to sleep” | Harry Styles plays in Werchter

Concert organizer ‘Live Nation’ had announced in advance that all access roads to Werchter and Haacht would be closed after the show. Fans who were dropped off by car near the festival grounds had to go back to Leuven by bus anyway and could no longer be picked up on site after the concert.

But apparently there were far too few shuttle buses used. At the end of the concert, people were already heading towards the exit so as not to end up in the chaos again, but the waiting times for a bus soon ran up to two to three hours. “We have been queuing for an hour and a half and the queue is still very long. Definitely wait a few more hours and mom will be waiting for us in Leuven”, say Britt Muls and Friedl Swinnen.

Mother Chris Van Holderbeke and three minor children queued for three hours to take a shuttle bus. “We are exhausted. No more trains now. We had to call someone to pick us up in Leuven. No place to park there. It’s hell. Sorry, the performance was really great, but the organization and getting out of here is really hell”, she screams.

There are also many complaints on social media. “Far too few buses, the train waited half an hour, but thousands were unable to take their train. The police let them into the station as much as possible for safety. Many had to wait four hours for the next train in the morning. Didn’t they know in advance that 60,000 people would come?

Also last weekend there was the entry for Pink! and the exodus for Bruce Springsteen much chaos. And then the busiest festival weekend in Werchter has yet to begin.
