FAQ

Please Don't

THIS IS IMPORTANT:

  • Do not camp on Midday Valley Road before gates open. Those obstructing local traffic will be forced to move and lose their position in the queue.
  • Do not leave any waste on site. This is a leave no trace event. Pack it in and pack it out.
  • Do not expect to buy a Thursday entry pass at the gate. Thursday entry tickets are available in advance sales only.
  • No Fires. BBQ’s and Camp stoves are allowed, but no open flames and no propane fire pits. Fire spinning is not permitted at Bass Coast. 
  • Do not go into restricted areas, closed bridges, or private property next to the festival. 
  • Do not build dams or rock walls which obstruct the flow of the Coldwater River. It's a natural salmon spawning area and any rock pools or walls are damaging to their environment
  • Do not dump waste water on the ground. Please only dump in water drains - shower drains.
  • Do not use soap, shampoo, and conditioner in the river. Soaps and sunscreens contaminate the water and affect endangered species. 
  • Do not bring two-way radio’s or walkie-talkies that may interfere with production / first aid communications on site.
