Is it better to brave the queues at the closest toilets, or does a longer walk to more distant facilities save time? And does gender play a significant role in how long you wait? These questions are crucial for anyone planning their day at one of Belgium’s biggest music festivals.
Before you dash off to the loo, here’s what our test revealed about the best strategy to avoid missing your favourite acts.
Why does walking further not always help? Our findings suggest that toilet distribution and crowd flow at Pukkelpop create bottlenecks near popular stages. Consider these points:
- Nearest toilets often have the shortest lines despite appearances.
- Women’s queues are consistently longer, reflecting higher demand and slower service.
- Waiting times spike sharply during headline performances.
- Strategic timing of toilet visits can save more time than location choice.
As Pukkelpop continues to attract huge crowds, festival-goers should plan restroom breaks carefully. Will you risk the queues or time your visit for quieter moments? Either way, staying informed is key to enjoying every act without interruption.
