All events are ticketed events unless otherwise stated. You can only enter an event with a valid ticket.

All events have a no pets rule. In particular NO DOGS. All festivals are family friendly and there are children that run free. Children and Dogs running free do not mix. Give you dog a holiday with a good friend instead.

Please do not operate generators outside designated performance/market areas. Please be quiet and considerate of others in the campground especially during the night. The camping areas are for chilling out, sleep and peace.

Most events have a no renegade sound system policy except for Particles of Space (VIC)

GLASS is not permitted on site.

First remove all excess packaging, buy in bulk and communally, then plan to take everything off the site that you bought on. Each festival values it’s committment to the environment, help instead of hinder and take all rubbish with you when you leave.

Cigarette Butts are a real pain to remove from a site, please put all cigie butts in a container

It is the summer of Australia and as such most festivals occur during FIRE BAN periods. Generally there will be no fires permitted on the site. Please bring cooking stoves for your campsite.

Australia is currently experiencing a grought and nearly all festivals are in a dry areas. Bring your own water if you can, and drink only from designated DRINKING WATER TAPS.

DRINK LOTS OF IT. Dehydration is one of the leading causes of event non-enjoyment syndrome. Drink up. All events provide drinking water. Drink more than you would normally.

You can never carry enough water in Australia and it has to be the most expensive excesses in a travellers budget especially given the general quality of water across Australia. Always travel with at least 2 5 Litres, this is like your fuel, the longer your range between fill-ups the more opportunities there are to fill up without resorting to buying corpwater.

This will also save our environment the cost of recycling numerous plastic bottles or picking up those so carelessly discarded.

Bring sunscreen and sunhat, and cover up during the height of the heat.

MOBILE PHONES generally do not work at the festival sites.

a hat, a torch, insect repellents, musical instruments.
