Visitors get in for FREE to watch the show!

When?
July 17 and 18 2010.

Where?
Like last year we will have the Grenslandhallen (indoors) in Hasselt at our disposal.

Travelling there
By Plane:
There are multiple airports in the vicinity (all +- 1 hour drive from the venue, and easily accessible train-connections):

  • Brussels Airport (BRU) (location)
  • Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) (location)
  • Köln Bonn Airport (CGN) (location)
  • Maastricht (MST) (location)
  • If you are arriving in Zaventem, for about 9 euro's you can buy a trainticket to Hasselt.
    To get to the trainstation at the airport, after arrival:
    After you exit the customs area, go to the far right corner, and to level -2 (there should be signs depicting the trainstation). Buy a ticket to "Hasselt" at the desk (costs about 9 euros), and ask which track you should go to, because the monitors aren't very clear about this. Important note: You should switch to another train when you arrive by train in Leuven/Louvain. You'll need the one with destination "Genk" or "Tongeren". The one to Genk will pass trainstations "Tienen", "Sint-truiden" and "Alken". I'm not sure which trainstations the one to "Tongeren" passes. And ofcourse don't forget to get off in Hasselt.

    By Train:
    Should you go by train, then the trainstation of Hasselt should be your destination.
