What are the opening times?

Venue specific stage times will be shared in advance of the event, generally ranging from 1pm to 11pm.

Am I guaranteed entry to each venue?

Wristbands allow access to every venue, however venues operate a very strict capacity policy so once they are full, they are full, and we advise arriving early to avoid disappointment.
