From Utrecht Central Station you can take our free shuttle bus to the festival grounds. You can find this bus at the central station on Mineurslaan. Follow the white signs with black arrows and '❤️U Festival'.

The bus runs between 11:00 and 19:00 on Saturday and between 11:15 and 19:00 on Sunday towards the festival and from 21:00 you can get on again to go to the station.

Navigate to Strijkviertel, De Meern (Utrecht). Follow the signs "Kiss & Ride ❤️U Festival", once you are near the festival grounds.

You are allowed to take medication in a dose that you need for 1 day. A doctor's certificate/medication passport is required. Security will assess your documentation and check the medication. It is possible that the first aid will take your medication (for example if it is dangerous in combination with alcohol) into custody and you can only take it at the first aid.

No, unfortunately that is not possible. In order to guarantee the safety of all visitors, we cannot allow the festival site to be left in between. We have no insight into what a visitor does outside the festival site and in what state they enter the site again. Therefore, no exceptions can be made for this. We have enough lounge areas, food stands & bars to last a whole day.

There are lockers on the festival grounds where you can safely store your belongings!

These can fit 3 to 4 coats. Good to know: you can open and close your locker as often as you like throughout the day.

It is not possible to reserve a locker online.
