Important information about your Rewire 2021 visit

08 Sep 2021

During this year’s festival, Rewire will have a Covid-19 safety policy in place. This means that some things will work a little different than usual, please observe the following carefully:

* For the most up to date information, please consult the FAQ section on our website.

- To visit the ticketed programme (taking place at PAARD, Korzo, Koninklijke Schouwburg, Theater aan het Spui, and Lutherse Kerk) you will need to exchange your e-ticket for one wristband to access all those venues. In order to receive this wristband you will need to present proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, or a negative test result (Testen voor Toegang). You can present these using the CoronaCheck app. The location to present the above and receive your wristband is PAARD (Prinsegracht 12). Weekend pass holders need to pick up a new wristband at PAARD on the second day, again presenting proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, or a negative test result.  

- Within the above-mentioned venues, all concerts are seated and all rooms have fixed seats. Indoors the audience can let go of the 1.5m social distancing. You have to remain seated during the concert, but you are allowed to go to the bar for a drink or go to the toilet, or to leave early to catch a show at a different venue or in a different room.

- After the start of a concert, you will not be allowed entrance anymore. Please be on time if you wish to see a certain concert, the timetable is designed to make changing venues easily possible.

- For the free programme, social distancing of 1,5 meters is required. Here you don’t need to present proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, or a negative test result.

- Before you visit the festival, please make sure you are healthy (even when fully vaccinated) by walking through our Corona Health Check
