The safety of members of the public is a key priority for the Festival. It is assured by a specially trained security staff of 950 volunteers who work in close collaboration with the police, the fire service and private security companies.

The Festival is a place where thousands of people gather each day. By respecting a few rules of caution, all members of the public can contribute to the success of each evening.

Should you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a member of the security staff, (easily recognisable by their jerkins).

Giant video screens relay the concerts on the Grande Scène, Chapiteau and Dôme (Village du Monde), allowing audiences to follow performances in optimal conditions.
So don't try at all costs to get close to the stage and be careful not to push those around you.

If there is sudden crowd movement during a concert, don't try to resist the pressure. Instead, try to move away from the people in the audience who are pushing forward. Pressure in the first few rows of the audience can be very strong. Please don't stand there with small children and don't forget to drink lots of water. In case of an incident, please follow instructions issued by the organisers.
