There are different sound rules in the camping area depending on which area you are staying in. Small sound systems are allowed in all areas.
You can read our general sound policy for the camping area here.
If you wish to bring a large sound system and are staying in an area that is not a Community Camping area, you must apply for permission to bring the system. This guarantees that you will be allowed to bring your sound system and that you will be placed in an area where large sound systems are welcome.
A large sound system is defined as a system that is too large to be carried by one person without assistance from wheels or other aids.
Rules for large sound systems:
- The system must not exceed 2.3 metres in height. This also applies to flags, lights, or similar items.
- The system must be stable and not be able to rock or tip over due to weather conditions. For example, it must be secured with guy lines or support legs.
- No construction materials or furniture may be placed on the system, such as sofas or wooden terraces.
- Solar panels must be permanently mounted on the system and must be of the flexible type. Glass-based panels are not permitted, even if the glass is covered with another material such as epoxy.
- The system must be transportable by two people on foot and must not be motorised.
Application
If your camp wishes to bring a large sound system to the festival and you are not staying in a Community Camping area, you must apply by completing our application form.
You can find the application form here.
The application deadline was 15 March. It is therefore no longer possible to apply. Applicants will receive a response no later than 31 March.
Applications are assessed based on criteria such as contribution to camp atmosphere, community, engagement, and uniqueness.
If your camp is approved, you will be assigned a location along with an appropriately sized Get a Place product for your camp at that location, ensuring that your camp has a place to stay.
You therefore do not need to purchase a Get a Place product for your camp if your application is approved.
