Questions about the Festival

Some of you are new here and probably very excited to see how an ANTARIS - Festival works and what awaits you. Welcome on board! Others have been with us for 30 years, it's nice that you are here!

We encounter many questions again and again, we have put together the answers for you below. Nevertheless, we receive many questions every year by e-mail or on social media. We always try to answer everything. Before you write to us, please check whether your question has already been answered here.

• Box office

  Of course, we also have a box office again for those who decide late. Only cash payment is possible at the box office.

• Approach

  Traveling by car, is the most unecological way! Over 80% of the festivals's CO2 emissions are based on the arrival of the guests. According to statstics, if we carpool, and all vehicles are occupied by four people, we already save 40% of that.

  The destination address for the navigation system is Apfelallee in 14728 Stölln, the traffic guidance on site is signposted.

  The ecological alternatives are buses and trains. The destination station is Rathenow or Neustadt Dosse. We offer a bus shuttle from Rathenow train station to the festival site.

  More about how to get there at Travel.

• Awareness

  Our scene is colourful and diverse, we meet as humans, everyone is respected as an individual! We do not tolerate any discrimination on the premises, whether racial, sexual, gender or social! Sexual assaults are also absolutely unacceptable! We are a family! We are apolitical. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs, the collective trance experience creates new awareness!

• Accessibility

  The entire area is meadow and relatively flat. We have reserved and labelled two parking and camping areas for people with disabilities. Both have a corresponding toilet in the immediate vicinity.

  If you can proof yout impairment, your accompanying person will receive free entry (severely disabled ID card B/G).

• Camping and parking

  Camping and parking is included in the festival price, whether in a tent, caravan or motorhome. Free choice of place!

  For families with children and temporarily in need of rest, we have designated a silent and family camping area. (see map below)

• Showers and toilets

  We would like to offer you a little more comfort in the toilets this year and have ordered two containers with real toilets, which will serve as paid toilets near the Infield. There are also a large number of free Dixi-toilets throughout the entire site. All toilets are emptied and cleaned several times a day.

  We offer free cold showers with gender segregation. Based on your criticism, we will divide these up to ensure a bit privacy. We will not have shower containers for ecological reasons, as they run on heating oil or generators. Our tip: Solar showers are ecological, there is plenty of water.

  Please use biodegradable soap/shower gel/shampoo for showering!

• Admission

  Our gate opens on 07/11/2024 at 9:00 a.m. Arriving earlier is pointless, you definitely won't get in! This is for insurance reasons. Please do not crowd the road beforehand, agricultural traffic consists mainly of large machines, otherwise they will cause us trouble!

• First aid

  The paramedics are located at the entrance to the site, very close to the ticket office. They are also there for you for your minor aches and pains such as insect bites or headaches. In an emergency, you can also contact the security, all security forces are connected by radio. Take care of each other - your well-being is important to us!

• Food and drink

  Around the infield there are a lot of food stalls that offer a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes for you. International delicacies from Swabian spaetzle to Italian pizza to Asian cuisine pamper your palate.

  You can get all kinds of drinks at moderate prices at the bars on the dance floor. Please make sure, to drink enough fluids during the dance marathon, especially when it's hot.

• Fire

  Open fire is prohibited on the entire site! The only exception are the fire bowls on the infield, but they also require attention.

• Fire brigade

  The local fire brigades are our secret heroes! How many hot days have they already made us bearable with their fire truck shower. Let's hope we never need them for anything else! If you do - they have their basecamp right at the entrance next to the paramedics.

• Photo and filming

  Of course, everyone is free to take photos and films at the festival, but please pay attention to the personal rights of others and do not be too intrusive!

  We have commissioned professional photographers and videographers, when you enter the site you agree to the free use of the recordings. If anyone has a problem with this, contact the filmmaker/photographer.

• Dogs

  We love animals, so we can't accept dogs coming to the dance floor. At very high volume, they lose orientation and prolonged noise destroys their ears. Therefore, please leave your four-legged friend at home.

• Children

  Children are part of the family! Of course, they are welcome, but we expect them to be treated responsibly. Children under the age of 16, accompanied by their parents have free entry, if you take them with you to the dance floor, please make sure you have suitable hearing protection.

  The number of children has gone down far in recent years, so there is no longer a kidspace. We have signposted an area near the entrance as silent and family camping, it is relatively quiet at night and families with children are called upon to organize themselves there. Showers, toilets and water are in the immediate vicinity, fire brigade and paramedics are also next door.

• Line Up – Timetable

  The timetable will only be announced immediately before the festival, there may be postponements due to force majeure (e.g. flight cancellations), we will try to announce these as soon as possible. Please refrain from asking when your favourite act plays, we will not answer these!

• Lost & Found

  The Lost & Found is at the Infopoint on the Shop-street.

• Garbage

  The garbage is still a serious issue, the cleaning of the place has always cost us many thousands of euros, not to mention the disposal costs. We charge a waste deposit of 10€ per person at the entrance, more information on this in the next section.

  Please make sure that you leave your camp clean, cigarette butts and crown caps cause us the most work. We would like to return the place just as clean as we found it.

• Garbage deposit

  We charge a garbage deposit of 10€ per person in cash at the entrance. You will receive a garbage bag and a deposit stamp for this. Please bring the 10€ with you if possible, as you want it back at the end.

  The garbage deposit will be paid back when leaving the site in exchange for the filled garbage bag and the deposit stamp.

• Mother's note - Minors

  Children and young people up to the completion of the 16th Year of life have free admission when accompanied by their parents, we expect proof of age. Young people aged 16 and over pay the full price and must be accompanied by a legal guardian. If these are not the parents, you will need a so-called "mother's note" , more information can be found here:https://muttizettel.net/
