In a guided peloton, they cycled with their fellow festivalgoers from Heusden-Zolder to the festival site in Kiewit. One participant got his Pukkelpop combi ticket (worth 279 euros) refunded in drink and food vouchers!

Lucky winner
The icing on the Pukkelpop cake? One lucky participant in the Pukkelpop Peloton will win his or her combi ticket (worth 279 euros) back in drink and food vouchers, which can be used on the festival grounds! Is there is any better reason to cycle with us?
All participants will be able to put their name in a jar on site. An innocent hand will draw the name of the winner upon arrival at the bike park in Kiewit. In other words, only those who ride along will stand a chance of having their ticket refunded in vouchers.
