Warning: Gas stoves, cooking stoves, and barbecues are usually strictly prohibited on the festival campsite for safety reasons. At some festivals, you can cook on gas stoves or barbecues in designated areas. At other festivals, such as Pukkelpop or Rock Werchter, you will find ‘cooking islands’ on the campsite with microwaves (don’t forget your microwave-proof pots!) and hot water for coffee; instant noodles, and biscuits, among other things. Check the website of your festival to see what is allowed.
