Car/Van Camping Pass: If you want to camp directly next to your car or campervan, you'll need a Car/Van Camping Pass in addition to your festival ticket (per vehicle, not per person). If you're arriving with a trailer, two passes are required. A car is considered a van if it's the size of a Mercedes Vito or larger. Campsites are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The passes will be available in our ticket shop at a later date.
Car/Van Parking Pass: If you're arriving by car but don't want to camp next to it, you'll need a Car/Van Parking Pass. This allows you to park in our parking lot for the entire weekend. Camping and sleeping are not permitted. Parking tickets are also available at the box office on the night of the event, while supplies last. The passes will be available in our online ticket shop at a later date.
