Two First Aid Stations, one on the Festival site (during ist opening hours) and one at the campsite (24h/24) are at your service to deal with any health related issues. The infirmary staff is composed of about a hundred volunteers, all of whom are healthcare professionals. They dispose of appropriate modern healthcare material. 

Animals

For health, safety and animal welfare reasons, it is prohibited to bring dogs or any other animals to the Festival site, Quartier Libre, or the campsite.

Weapons

Arms (in the sense of the law), as well as any object that could be considered dangerous in the context of the festival are forbidden within the perimeter of the event.

Drugs

Swiss legislation strictly prohibits the selling, consuming and possession of narcotics, including cannabis. The cantonal drugs squad maintains a presence on the Festival site and on the campsite and prosecutes offenders.

Drones

For safety reasons and in conformity with OFAC norms, which forbid any use of drones above a gathering of people, drones are strictly forbidden above all parts of the Festival site (campsite and car parks included).

Pyrotechnic objects

In order to reduce the risk of accidents and fire, the use of pyrotechnic objects (fireworks, smoke flares…) is forbidden on the Festival site, on the campsite and on the car parks.

The Festival’s prevention policy is based on a global process, which is founded on a strategy of care in the broadest sense. The organisation endeavours to guarantee a visible, attentive and reassuring presence for the public, as well as the capacity to intervene rapidly, effectively and appropriately in the event of any health or safety problem.

Alcohol

The sale of any alcohol to persons under the age of 16 years is prohibited.

Hearing protection

The Festival exerts itself to respect all the norms for the hearing protection of the spectators. The cantonal authorities do check of all the concerts. During some concerts, and depending where you are situated, the sound waves can reach 100 decibels. A prolonged exposure to this power can injure your ear drums. It is suggested to use ear plugs. Ear plugs are available for free at all the Information stands, the Camping reception centre and the Festival's shops.

Hearing protections for children are sold at the Festival’s merchandising shops.

Crowd movement

In case of a sudden crowd movement during a concert, 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.

Thefts

To avoid losing or getting personal belongings stolen, either near the concert areas or at the camp site, avoid bringing valuable goods to the Festival.
