NS train strike on Friday June 13

Travel information

NS TRAIN STRIKE ON FRIDAY JUNE 13
Over the past few days, we’ve been in close contact with NS regarding a potential train strike on the Monday after our festival. However, just a few hours ago, the unions surprised both NS and us by moving the strike forward to this coming Friday, June 13. As a result, no NS trains will run throughout the day in Noord-Brabant (including Tilburg), Zeeland, Limburg, and parts of the north of the country.

Our team is working hard to arrange additional bus transportation, but due to the short notice, availability is very limited. We will update you as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your understanding — we’re doing everything we can to welcome everyone on Friday.

On Friday, two shuttle buses will still run between Tilburg station and the festival site for visitors who have already purchased a shuttle bus ticket and can reach the station by other means.

CARPOOL VIA SLINGER

In the meantime, we kindly ask for your help: if you’re coming to Best Kept Secret by car and have a spare seat, please offer your ride via the Slinger carpool tool. If you need a ride, you can also request one there.

NORMAL NS TRAINS AND SHUTTLE BUSES ON SATURDAY, SUNDAY & MONDAY

On Saturday June 14, Sunday June 15, and Monday June 16, NS trains and our shuttle buses will operate as scheduled. Your purchased shuttle bus ticket remains valid on these days.

PARKING AVAILABILITY AND SHUTTLE BUS TICKETS

To reassure you: there is plenty of parking available. Please make sure to buy your parking ticket in advance here. At this moment, we do not yet know whether purchased shuttle bus tickets can be refunded.

TRAVEL PREPARED ON FRIDAY

We expect more cars than usual on Friday. Please leave early and bring water in case of traffic delays. Rest assured: we’re doing everything possible to get everyone in as quickly as we can.
