Lokerse Feesten is a cashless festival. Food and drinks can be paid for using a cashless card. You receive this card together with your festival wristband, and it is also available at the top-up counters on the square. With this card, you can pay in euros at all bars and food stands on the square and in Club Studio Brussel.
Want to check how much credit is left on your card? Scan the QR code on your card to see the balance in your digital wallet.
Want to add money to your card? You can do this in several ways:
A €1.50 activation fee is charged for the very first top-up.
Lokerse Feesten is committed to sustainability. Beer is served in reusable cups; soft drinks in bottles. A €1 deposit is charged for both. When you return cups and bottles to the counters, the deposit is automatically added back to your card. You don’t need to do anything: the credit is automatically adjusted.
Please note: Taking cups or bottles outside the festival is not allowed. Make sure to return them at one of the many drink points first to reclaim your deposit.
If there is still money left on your cashless card after the festival has ended, you can request a refund. Scan the QR code on your cashless card using your camera app, go to your digital wallet and enter your 6-digit PIN (on the back of the cashless card). Click on ‘refund’ and enter your name and IBAN number. The refund is completely free of charge; no fees will be charged. You can request a refund from 8.00 am on 12 August until 11.55 pm on 11 September 2026.
You can claim a refund up to and including 11 September 2026. After this date, it will no longer be possible to apply for a refund.
Cashless payments are subject to the Cashless Payment Terms & Conditions.

As a festival, we work with reusable cups. Like the majority of festivals, we work with a cashless system to easily collect and refund deposits for these cups. A separate card (instead of a bank card) has many advantages: your payment is faster (less waiting at the counters) and does not rely on internet connection.
Food and drinks are purchased via a cashless card. To do this, you must first top up your account linked to your card. You can easily top up your card by scanning the QR code on it.
For the very first cash top-up, we charge an activation fee of 1.5 euros. However, refunding any remaining value on your card is completely free.
If there is still money on your cashless card after the festival, you can request a refund. Scan the QR code on your cashless card with your camera app, proceed to your digital wallet, and enter your 6-digit PIN code (on the back of the cashless card). Click through to refund and leave your name and IBAN number. The refund is completely free; no fees will be charged. You can request a refund from August 12 at 8:00 AM until September 11, 2026, at 11:55 PM.
There are several ways to do this:
No, your cashless card and your account from last year are no longer valid.
Last year’s card is no longer valid and has been removed from your account, as the event has ended. You will receive a new card when you collect your wristband at the ticket office.
If your cashless card has been lost or stolen and you have already registered it (using the QR code and PIN on the card), we can transfer your balance to a new card. If you have not done so, we will be unable to block the card or recover the funds.
