Re-entry/Ins & Outs
Three-day ticket holders must exchange their ticket for a weekend wristband and then will be allowed to re-enter the Festival.
Wristbands MUST be worn for entry into the Festival.
Wristbands are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and cannot be replaced. They cannot be removed and must be worn all three days to allow entry. Please don't remove, stretch or tamper with your wristband in any way or you will not be allowed entry (and that will make us sad). If the wristband is tampered with or mangled it can not be replaced.
Single day ticket holders will not be allowed to re-enter the Festival. You must pass through security each time you enter.
Event takes place rain or shine.
