Best way to get to the venue
→ Take the train to Zaandam station. From there, bus 63 or local bus 456 takes about 10 minutes to Taets. We'll also have a free shuttle service from Zaandam station to the venue.

‍

By car & where to park
→ The address is Middenweg 62, Hembrugterrein, 1505 RK Zaandam. From Amsterdam, take the A10 Ring Road and exit at Oostzaan / Zaandam-Zuid / Het Twiske, then follow the N516 and N203, where signs will guide you to Taets. From the north via the A8, use the same exit. On site you’ll find about 1,000 free parking spaces, with a large lot right in front of the entrance. If the main parking fills up, nearby spaces can be reserved through services like Mobypark.

Doors & program times
→ Doors open at 08:00. The Main Stage hall will be open from 08:30, and the Main Stage program starts 09:30 (sharp).

‍

When to arrive
→ We recommend arriving between 08:00 and 09:00 so you have time to check in and grab coffee before the program begins.

‍

Seating
→ General admission is free seating in the stands. VIPs have reserved seats. Some pre-registered groups will also have clearly marked reserved seating. If you’re attending with a colleague, try to enter the Main Stage together to find seats next to each other.

‍

Where is the VIP Stage?

‍→ The VIP Stage is located in the VIP area. You can find this on the floorplan. Our hosts will guide you if needed.

‍

Leaving & re-entering
→ You may leave the venue during breaks. To re-enter you must show your badge; staff may also ask to see your e-ticket. Keep your badge handy to avoid delays.

Dietary options & allergies
→ We provide a wide selection of food with plenty of vegetarian options. If you have allergies, submit them via My ABF up to two weeks before the event. You can also email customercare@denkproducties.nl and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

‍

How we handle allergy info
→ We forward allergy details to our catering partners (and to external side event providers when relevant). Please be as specific as possible about ingredients and severity so we can communicate it correctly.

‍

Accessibility needs (visual/hearing/etc.)

‍

Photos & filming
