Southside Festival '23: Your Guide to the Weekend of Rock and Revelry in Neuhausen ob Eck
Preparation Guide for the 'Southside' All-Night Party Marathon - Party Marathon Southside Itinerary: Essential Items to Pack
Get ready for a wild weekend! Southside Festival, one of Germany's largest open-air music events, is returning to Neuhausen ob Eck from June 23rd. Legendary acts like Green Day, Apache 207, and Zartmann are set to take the stage. Here's everything you need to know to join the party.
Budgeting Your Dough
As of now, festival tickets have yet to sell out completely. A single-day pass (without camping) stands at 129 euros close to the start. A regular festival ticket costs approximately 289 euros this year, providing access to all stages, campsites, and the festival vibe.
Those seeking tranquility and order during their camping experience can opt for the "Green Living" festival pass, with "considerate camping" as the main rule. There's a 15 euro parking fee for vehicles. Specific parking areas are designated for campers, vans, or buses with their particular fees.
Navigating the Journey
Leaving your car behind is an option. The train stops in Tuttlingen, with shuttle buses running approximately every 15 minutes to the site, as per festival information. You can also book direct bus services from Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg, Munich, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Tübingen to Neuhausen ob Eck online.
Drivers should input "take-off GewerbePark, 78579 Neuhausen ob Eck" in their navigation systems and follow the official signs. Be mindful of hefty traffic during arrival and departure times, especially on event days.
Prepping Your Gear
Festival packing is an art - here's your survival kit checklist: Remember your ticket, ID, cash, and perhaps a credit card, as card payments may sometimes be unavailable.
Owing to the unpredictable German weather, weatherproof clothing, from rain boots to raincoats to sunglasses, should be packed just as much as a good tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat. A power bank for your phone, sunscreen, a water bottle, hygiene items, and earplugs become invaluable in a festive environment.
Smart festival-goers also pack Gaffa tape, cable ties, and a small curtain lock - for minor repairs or securing tents and bags. A tow rope for your vehicle, especially in muddy conditions, could prove helpful.
Rules of Engagement
Knowing Southside festival's site rules is crucial. Prohibited items include glass containers, large bags (larger than DIN A4), bulky furniture, pets, and drones. Check the festival's website for the full list of restricted items.
New and Improved
This year, the organizers will introduce a cashless payment system, where festival wristbands will come equipped with chips and can be used for all transactions on the festival site. Visitors can load the chips in advance via the event portal, with an emergency charging station available near the Ferris wheel. Any remaining credit will be refunded post-festival.
With new cannabis regulations, cannabis consumption becomes legal - but not near minors.
Defusing any Crisis
Stewards will be accessible around the clock to help. In medical emergencies, the medical service will be available with several hundred helpers and mobile stations. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, stay informed through announcements via loudspeakers, and seek shelter in your vehicle for safety.
Use the codeword "Panama" in any tricky situations to discreetly signal for help from the crew.
