The General Admission section welcomes BYO picnic blankets and low legged beach/festival chairs (please make sure your chairs legs are not any higher than 20cm to avoid blocking the view of others).

Also, because we are an open air venue we would suggest to dress for the occasion. Depending on the season you may need to bring with you a warm coat, water proof jacket, rain poncho or gumboots.

Always remember to slip, slop slap because even though it may be overcast the UV rays can still break through the clouds. In the event of wet weather please remember that umbrellas are not allowed because they block the view of others, wear a poncho instead.

The gate open time does not reflect the time in which the music begins.

We will do our best to advise you of the set times however the lead up time in which the Promoter announces the set list is not our responsibility. We will advertise the list on our Social Media platforms as soon as it has been finalised.
