FAQ

Here are some points that you may find useful when preparing your luggage.

Raincoat (proper one for camping & hiking) as no umbrellas are allowed in the festival site.
Hand towels (handy as sun shade, wipe, cooler, etc.)
Extra change of clothes (in case of rain, sweat, mud).
Your favorite sneakers that have a good grip. Even better if they're waterproof!
Hat (to avoid sunburn, heat). A must!
Portable ashtray. A must for smokers.
Warm jacket (It gets cold at night. Waterproof parkas can be used as raincoats as well).
Rubbish bin bag (very useful).
Pocket tissue (in case there's no toilet paper).
First Aid Kit (so that you can take care of any minor injuries)
Torch/Flashlight

It may be convenient to have both hands free. Make sure to look after your belongings.

Comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement and non-slip trekking shoes are recommended.

Weather at the festival is likely to vary and extreme drops or rise in temperature is not rare. Please prepare clothing suited to all weather conditions. Water proof jackets and shoes will be very useful.

Bees, wasps and ticks reside in the area. Loose fitting clothes and exposing your skin should be avoided to prevent insects from coming in to your clothing.

Tents, tarpaulin shelters, flysheets and parasols are not allowed in the festival site.

The use of such equipment obstructs other people's views and takes up too much space, leaving others struggling to find space when crowded. The festival has found that unattended sun shades, etc., create large blocks of empty space that could be used by other festival attendees who had no space to stand to see the stage. The use or installation of any equipment (including tents, parasols, flysheets or tarp shelters) that occupy too much space and obstruct the view of other people is prohibited.

Leisure sheets are allowed in the festival as well as the following:

Baby buggies with or without parasols and foldable chairs (ones that can be put away easily) can be used in the festival site.

Allowed areas
At the far back of the audience areas only
Use is limited to behind the pathway (mountain side) at the Green Stage area. Please be prepared to put it away when you hear an announcement asking you to do so. Use of sheets and chairs are not permitted at any time in the Red Marquee tent.
Please put it away when crowded.

Please make sure you take your leisure sheet with you when you leave an area.
If your leisure sheet is left unattended, Festival staff will remove it.

Smoking while walking is not permitted.

Pets are not allowed in the festival site.

Unlike in urban areas, there are insects such as bees, wasps, mosquitos and ticks in the area where the festival is located.

Although the festival works to remove dangerous beehives before the festival starts, it is not possible to find all hives so please be cautious. It is important to be careful about unexpected insect bites in natural surroundings.

Please use insect repellent and protect yourself.
Please do not enter the woods and other restricted areas.

Bees and wasps
Don't go near the hives. As long as you don't go near them, they won't attack you.
Beware of loose fitting clothes as you don't want ants in your pants!
Avoid yellow or black clothes or hats. Yellow and black stripes are particularly dangerous!
Avoid strong smelling perfume or cosmetics.
If a bee comes flying around you, move away slowly. If it is already very close to you, try to crouch down very slowly. Due to a bee's nature, you may be able to disappear from its sight by doing so.
White hats and clothes are considered relatively safe to wear.

Ticks
Ticks here are different from the mites that you find in houses. Ticks suck the blood of medium to large animals. If ticks carry viruses when you come in contact with them, it may cause infection. This may result in nausea, fever, rash or in some cases, facial palsy.

Wear brightly colored finely woven fabrics with a smooth surface.
Avoid loose fitting clothes and tuck trouser bottoms into your boots/socks.
When you get back to your accommodation, check for any trace of bites. Also check your clothes, hair and scalp in case you carried any ticks with you.
When you find a tick on your skin, don't squash it. Pull it off gently, ideally with tweezers. (Within 4 hours if possible.)
