Dos & Don'ts

Prohibited/permitted items

Our safety concept consists of a large number of safety-relevant procedures, which are developed, coordinated and implemented together working hand in hand with the police and the responsible security authorities. 

However, we still need your help in this matter!

The better you follow the rules and regulations, the more effective and faster are the security checks at the entrance to the camping area and to the event area. We ask you therefore to read our detailed safety instructions.


Camping Area

ATTENTION! Carrying such items may result in rejection of the vehicle and exclusion of the attendee from the festival upon arrival; all the prohibited items will be confiscated without replacement. Power generators found on the site will be secured by the police!

These items are prohibited in the event area in addition to all prohibited items in the camping area. 

In general, only personal items and clothing are permitted into the event area.

Refusal of entry carrying prohibited Items

Please carry your car keys always with you – especially when leaving the camping area. In case of emergency or heavy storms please go directly to your safe car.

 

 

 

 

In the following you will find general information about camping. These are general rules that apply to every camping area. You find more detailed information about the different camping areas at the respective camping categories.


General information about camping

The 3-day festival ticket can be seen as “all-inclusive-ticket”. This means, access to the camping area and showers is included with exception of: “Utopia Stage Camping”, “Caravan Camping” as well as “(Seaside) Backstage Camp”. Access to these exclusive camping areas requires an additional ticket.

Generally, you are not entitled to a certain camping area. The security staff will assign you a spot depending on the free space that is still available.

On the parking space, only parking of cars is permitted – no sleeping and no setting up tents.

Please note that camping “in the wild” is strictly prohibited and will be prosecuted by the police and the security staff! 

Each attendee entering the festival site – which also includes parking and camping area – must have a valid entry authorization in the form of a festival wristband and a festival ticket.

Please note that people staying on the enclosed camp area without authorization will be reported for obtaining services by deception (§ 265a StGB) and for trespass (§ 123 StGB).
 

Prohibited items on the camping area

People and the luggage they carry will be selectively checked and searched for prohibited items on the entry to a camping area. Visitors with large luggage and fully loaded hand carts should expect long queues to enter the camping area.

The following will help you to avoid long waiting times:

  • Bring only the equipment you really need

  • Read the list of prohibited and permitted items carefully. For example, glass bottles, gas bottles and power units are not permitted into the camping area.

If you follow these rules, you can pass the control points faster.


Usage of the camping area

Please use only the official camping areas. They offer enough space for every visitor. The camping areas are numbered for orientation purposes - please take a look at the signs at the entrance to the site. If your desired camping area is already occupied, please refer to the LED screens at the Info/Service centers Terminal A and B and follow the instructions of the local staff.

No delimitations (rain channels) may be dug in the camping area around the tent.Party tents and power units are forbidden!

The white-marked escape routes are to be kept clear at all times!

Festival or party tents, beer sets and power generators are prohibited!

The camping areas are only to be used as such. The digging of tent boundaries (similar to a moat) or the digging of holes to use as refrigerators is damage to property. If ignored, the security staff will file a complaint to the police! The festival site is located in a recreation area and natural park and is therefore not a playground. Thank you for your understanding!


Camping Rules

To ensure safety and order as well as to contribute to a friendly come-together on the camping area the parking and camping rules are binding for every visitor. Following you can find a shortened version. The full parking and camping rules can be seen under general terms and conditions.

  • The orders of stewards and security staff must be followed; they apply in addition to these provisions.
  • The German Road Traffic Act (StVO) applies on the entire event site and in the parking and camping areas. Only vehicles with a total authorised weight up to max. 3.5 t and only with no vehicle trailer may be parked in the parking areas. As an exception, motor homes, caravans, trailer tents and passenger buses may be parked by holders of Caravan Camping tickets and Caravan Car Passes for an additional fee in the areas shown separately. Parking in unmarked areas is prohibited and will be prosecuted; vehicles may only be parked in approved parking. Vehicles parked outside marked parking areas or causing an obstruction on roadways or in rescue lanes may be towed away without warning.
  • There is no entitlement to being granted a specific parking area and/or camping area within the category booked. Parking and camping areas are opened as required and allocated to attendees by stewards. Escape and rescue lanes must be kept clear of any structures at all times.
    Wild camping outside designated spaces is prohibited and will be prosecuted rigorously. Attendees may use only the marked camping areas.
  • It´s not allowed to bring and set up large tents.
  • The vehicles parked in the car parks are not monitored. Vehicles are parked at the owner’s risk.
  • The organiser is generally not liable for damage and losses incurred by the user and attendee due to burglary, theft, fire, natural phenomena or other incidents. Valuables can be deposited in lockers in the left luggage office for a fee.
  • Entry to a camping area is permitted only with an attached, undamaged festival wristband and with the associated entry ticket or valid festival pass.
  • Luggage may be transported from parking to camping area with the aid of handcarts, hand trucks or platform trolleys; vehicle trailers may not be taken onto the campsites.
  • When entering a camping area, luggage and bag checks are carried out. The organiser is entitled to refuse entry into the camping area if the attendee is carrying forbidden items.
  • The entire event site is located in a water conservation area. Nature must be protected. Consideration for flora and fauna is the top priority.
  • Power generators can therefore not be authorised; their use is officially prohibited.
  • The operation of sound systems and power generators is NOT permitted in car parks and on campsites.
  • No boundaries (rain channels) or other holes (e.g. for cooling) may be dug in the camping areas.
  • Observance of the ground markings of the rescue routes is mandatory. The rescue routes must be kept clear in all circumstances.

  • Animals may not be brought into parking and camping areas.

  • Gas cooking appliances must be in perfect technical condition and comply with the German DIN standard. Only gas cartridges (plug-in and valve cartridges) up to a maximum fill weight of 450 g may be used. Open fires and campfires are not permitted.

  • During the event, waste must be disposed of in the bins and containers provided for this purpose at the waste collection points. 

  • Routes, systems and all facilities of the campsite must be kept clean and treated with care. This also applies to the toilets, showers and washrooms provided. Urinating outside of the toilets provided for this purpose is not permitted. The contamination of bodies of water is prohibited. Wanton damage to trees and groves in car parks, campsites and neighbouring woodland is prohibited and will be prosecuted as vandalism.

  • People staying on the enclosed camping grounds without authorisation will be reported for obtaining services by deception (§ 265a StGB) and for trespass (§ 123 StGB).

  • Failure to comply with the parking and camping rules may result in temporary or complete exclusion from the entire event.

  • Attendees must leave tent sites and parking spaces in an orderly condition at the end of their stay. Orderly condition particularly includes all waste being placed in the containers and stations provided, and the attendee’s own camping equipment being fully dismantled and taken away. Dismantling, cleaning of the attendee’s own site, waste disposal and departure must be completed by no later than Monday, 10th June 2024 at 10 am, when all parking and camping areas close.

  • The current notices and the instructions of the on-site stewards as well as the current information on the official homepage and the official festival app apply in addition to the parking and camping rules.


Grilling and open fire

Grilling is only permitted with off-the-shelf small/compact grills. In order to avoid accidents do not use alcohol or gasoline when grilling. Likewise, no combustible liquid may be poured on already glowing coals. Please use only commercial charcoal lighters in accordance with the instruction manual and never leave the grill unattended. Caution - risk of injury!

In addition, remember to grind the coals completely and do not extinguish them with water. Sudden extinguishing with water generate large amounts of hot water vapor, which causes scalding. In addition, the used coal shouldn´t be dumped onto lawns or other surfaces for cooling, but must be disposed of with the garbage after complete cooling.

All gas cooking appliances must be in a technically perfect condition and comply with the German DIN standard. Only gas cartridges (plug-in and valve cartridges) up to a maximum fill weight of 450 g may be used. Larger gas bottles, open fire and campfire are not permitted.

Grilling may be prohibited for safety reasons in stormy or similar weather conditions. The security service must be informed immediately if a fire breaks out, even if it was possible to extinguish the fire independently.

With regard to incidents in the past few years, we would like to point out again that grilling is allowed only outdoors and under no circumstances in tents or other festival accommodations because of the suffocation and fire danger!


Glass

To avoid cutting injuries, we are intensively checking that no glass containers are brought into the festival site!

We would like to point out that there is no return points for glass containers with deposit in the immediate proximity of the festival.


Falling branches in the camping area

We would like to point out that on the camping areas there is a chance branches of larger trees can break. Especially when it´s windy!

Of course, there are regularly inspections of the city of Nuremberg, but a risk can never be completely ruled out.


Camping alternatives

Via the Congress- und Tourismuszentrale of the city of Nuremberg there is the possibility to inquire about free hotel room allotments during the festival period. 

The youth hostels are also very centrally located. Further information can be found at tourismus.nuernberg.de.
