Festivalen kommer att hållas på Kanaanbadet, en stor och fin strand med gångavstånd från Blackeberg och Vällingby, norr om Stockholm.

Festivalen har sedan 2017 hållits på Lappis Beach varje år. Sommaren 2023 upplevde vi dock att markförhållandena inte var optimal då det veckorna innan hade regnat mycket och orsakade tyvärr stora lerpölar där publiken skulle stå. I och med att festivalen dessutom har vuxit har Lappis beach även börjat bli för liten yta för att kunna erbjuda bra plats för både mat- och marknadsförsäljarna.

Nej, festivalen har helt fri entré för alla!

Efterfesten kommer att hållas på Kollektivet Livet (Stadsgårdsterminalen) i centrala Stockholm och åldersgränsen är 20 år. Biljetter till efterfesten kan köpas via denna hemsida.

För i år finns olika typer av biljetter. Mat-, backstage/VIP-, festivalbuss- och efterfestbiljetter. Festivalen kräver ingen entrébiljett och är helt gratis för alla. Alla biljetter som säljs via hemsidan genererar en QR-kod som endast kan scannas vid ett tillfälle.

Kanaanbadet ligger drygt 15-20 minuters promenad från Blackeberg, Råcksta eller Vällingby t-banestation. Det kommer finnas en festivalbuss som går mellan Blackebergs t-banestation och stranden under dagen mellan kl 15-22.  Det går även bra att promenera och njuta av den fina naturen längs vägen.

Inget öppet köp på biljetterna, såvida arrangören meddelar att festivalen är inställd.  

Efterfestens åldersgräns är 20 år. Backstage har också en åldersgräns på 18 år. 

Vi erbjuder rabatterade priser hos vår samarbetspartner Scandic Hotel.

Bokning sker via hemsidan och rabattkoden presenteras inom kort.

Festivalen har fri entré! Vid  förköp av matbiljetter, backstage, bussbiljetter eller efterfestbiljetter erbjuds dock betalning via kort eller Swish. På festivaldagen väljer respektive försäljare vilken betalningsmetod som gäller – oftast swish.
