How do I get there?

The festival is held in North Hagley Park. We recommend accessing the venue via the Kilmore Street or Park Terrace drop-off zones, which can be reached from Durham Street or Montreal Street. From there, the festival entrance is just a short walk away near the Armagh Street Bridge.

Pro Tip: Don't Drive!

We strongly suggest not driving to the venue. There is no parking available within Hagley Park, and most surrounding on-street parking will be closed during the event.

Instead, play it smart:

• Call in a favor: Get a mate to drop you off.

• Ride-share or Taxi: Use your favorite app or grab a cab.

• Walk, Bike or E-Scooter: If you're local, it's the easiest way to get in and out!

Things to Note:

• Ticketing:

  • Get those tickets ready! You can find them in your Moshtix account under the email address used for purchase. Pro tip: Save your ticket to your digital wallet now to avoid any signal issues at the gate!

  • Check the name: Ensure your ticket name matches your ID - no match = no entry. Name changes close on Feb 27th at 12:00 PM.

  • Don't get scammed: If you're still looking for a ticket, the only official resale platform is Moshtix.

• No pass outs!

  • Once you’re in, you’re in. You cannot leave the festival and come back later.

• Payments:

  • Leave your cash at home. This is a cashless event - Pay wave and EFTPOS only.

• Food & Drink:

  • No outside food or drink is permitted. However, you can bring one empty plastic water bottle (up to 1L). There are plenty of free water stations inside to keep you hydrated all day long!
