Here is an overview of options to arrange your journey to Extrema 2026. Parking facilities around ‘De Plas’ are limited, so prepare yourself and see if other options, like public transport, shuttle buses or a taxi can work for you. Agree in advance on a sober driver if you drive, so everyone gets home safely.
Also, mobility is a key factor in our ambitions to reduce carbon emissions, let’s explore the options together!
Living close to the festival? Awesome! Pedestrians can get to the festival via the walking routes to both entrances:
A smart choice! We provide 2 secured and free of charge bicycle parkings, one at each entrance.
It’s not possible to charge your electric bicycle. Please be careful when riding your bike after the festival and make sure you’re clearly visible in the dark.
The most convenient way to travel to Extrema from your city! Just hop on and get driven straight to the entrance. After the festival, the bus drives you home safely. Carefree and sustainable!
You need to book a ticket in advance. All info regarding departure cities, planning and tickets can be found on the website of Keolis.

There are different K&R zones, depending on where you come from. Be aware that there are separate K&R zones for day visitors or when you stay at our camping or resort.
To improve your comfort, we will organise new Kiss & Ride zones closer to the festival, so you don’t have to take a bus shuttle anymore. Both K&R zones are about a 20-minute walk away from the entrance.
Only use the following links to navigate to K&R RED or K&R BLUE:
K&R RED
K&R BLUE
Please note: Taxis, Ubers and visitor rental vehicles can only pick up and drop off customers at these Kiss & Ride zones!
If you are staying at the camping or Resort, there is a special K&R zone for you within walking distance of the camping entrance. If you want to park your car, there is a separate weekend+camping parking ticket available in the ticketshop.
Only use these links to navigate there:
We have car parkings for day visitors near both entrance RED and entrance BLUE.
While both parkings RED and BLUE are for day visitors, RED is also the parking for camping, resort and VIP visitors.
To navigate to the parkings, please follow the road signs and the provided information on your ticket and in your ticketmail. We will guide you to RED or BLUE based on where you come from.
Reserve your spot and purchase your day or weekend parking ticket through our ticket shop now, and save € 5 on the price. We strongly recommend downloading your parking ticket in advance as internet connection is known to be weak around the festival area.
Driving to the festival? Make sure you’re completely alcohol- and drug-free behind the wheel — it’s the only way to keep yourself and everyone else safe on the road. Read more on Groot Gelijk dat je drugsvrij rijdt.
It is forbidden to sleep in your vehicle on the parking lots, and campers and mobile homes are not allowed.
