The festival app will be available for download on both iphone and android devices. There will be a link on the website once the app is live. Once live, it will also be found in the app store and in Google play. It is the most valuable resource you can utilize throughout the Festival, second only to your ears! You can pull up artists and determine where they are playing throughout the weekend. You can pull up a venue and determine who is booked there each day. You can also pull up the current time of day or night and determine who is playing at any given hour in each of the over 30 venues. Want more details on an artist? Pull up their bio in the app! Receive push notifications and tips from the event producers throughout the weekend. The app is very helpful.

Access into all official venues is on a first-come, first-served basis and most venues are not cleared after each set. Please make proper accommodations if there are certain performers you’d like to hear. There is ample room for all ticketed guests throughout all the venues.

Wristbands are non-transferable, non-exchangeable, and cannot be replaced.

Wristbands should not be removed and must be worn all four days for entry into venues. If you put them on so that they slip off, we will not be able to replace lost wristbands.

The Box Office will be able to cut the wristband off and put a new one on your wrist. Please do not bring wristbands that have already been cut off of someone’s wrist.

Wristbands allow you to get into any of the venues that are not already at capacity. Because of Fire Marshall regulations, there is a finite number of people who can be in a given venue. The wristband does not include special add-on performances which may be ticketed separately.

To pick up a ticket for yourself or other members of your party, you must have the FreshTix confirmation.

To be admitted to any venue, each person must have a wristband. Wristbands are only available at the Festival Box Offices. You may exchange your receipt/hard ticket for wristbands at the Box Office.
