Hasselt (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): A group of young ladies arrived early at Pukkelpop to secure a good camping spot, bringing food and drinks to enjoy throughout the day while planning to stay refreshed and active.

A group of  young ladies arrived early to set up their tent and find the best spot at the event. They want a place that’s not too far back but also not too close to the front aiming for a good balance to enjoy their time. Their early arrival shows they are serious about getting this perfect spot. They have also packed more than just the basics they brought food like sandwiches, waffles and cookies to keep them energized and happy throughout the day. This careful packing means they are ready for a long day ahead.

What makes Pukkelpop’s early arrivals so excited?

Even though their day started early before six o’clock, they plan to take it easy and manage their energy well. They chose Martini Bellini instead of alcohol showing they prefer a lighter drink that fits their relaxed vibe. Even with their excitement they know they need rest and have decided not to stay up too late that night so they stay refreshed for the day’s activities.They mentiones that  their careful planning and preparation show that they are dedicated to enjoying their experience while also being practical.

As the morning goes on people start arriving at the event site. A group from Heusden got there just before 8 a.m. and is enjoying the nice morning sun. One of the group members Mathieu Jans said he woke up at 6:15 a.m. showing how dedicated they are to getting a good spot. Even though he thought about taking a nap later,Rowan Vanheel strongly said no highlighting their commitment to staying active and involved.

They arrived early because they want to find a great spot at the campsite. Since it’s their first time at Pukkelpop they’re not sure where the best place is but they’re excited to dive into the experience. They can’t wait to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the festival and have some pints of Cara Pils a beer they jokingly say can even be drunk warm. They’re also really looking forward to seeing the band Stikstof which makes them even more eager to start their day early.
