To make this festival a first-class happening, members of the audience should pay attention to a few details, too.

We act within the law, and have a couple of special regulations as well.

Any kind of dressing-up is encouraged as long as the safety of your gear is taken into consideration. When rushing about in the front row you may harm a fellow celebrant with your nail bracelet. At the gate of the festival area the crew will check your outfit and remove everything considered dangerous, eg. bracelets made of nails. Use common sense when dressing up.

If, however, you should have on you something considered dangerous, there is a cloak room where to leave your things at the gate. NOTE! Umbrellas are not allowed! 2 euros is charged with every visit to the cloak room.

Cameras: point and shoot cameras are allowed, however all camera equipment that can be considered professional must be left at the cloak room. Photo passes cannot be obtained during the festival. Photo passes are granted to professionals only. If you consider yourself one, see PRESS-section.

Glass bottles and cans have to be left outside the festival area, plastic bottles only. If you bring alcoholic beverages, you must be at least 18 years old and and the amount must be reasonable. The staff will decide what is reasonable.

Physically disabled and visually impaired customers can bring an escort.

Children under 12 years old must be escorted by a responsible and sober, over 18 year old guardian. We do not recommed bringing little children to the festival.

We want you to have fun but we definitely don’t want anyone to get hurt having fun. Take care of your fellow metalhead.
