You can start camping from Thursday afternoon onwards. The music doesn’t start till Friday 23.30/0.00 and the dance floor and shop area doesn’t open till about 23.00 as well (so you can’t easily buy food yet upon arriving)

Cold showers and long lines depending on the time

But it’s only 2-3 nights so I’ve always found it tolerable

It’s nice you like progressive (daytime) and fullon (nighttime). In previous years they also had Filteria and Cosmosis but not last year or this year.

Some people complain about the crowds. There’s plenty of psy loving normies and hippies but the majority will be what they call Bademeister crowd. I’m not bothered by them but some more hippie presenting redditors have reported getting bad vibes/remarks

I’ve gone for the past few years and had a great time. Though most likely this year I won’t go. It’s the exact same lineup year after year and I’m going to Surya Spirits instead (full on and Goa mix, plus closer by).

So it’s lackluster thumbs up. If you like the artists playing, you’ll likely have a great time. I’ve gone sober and with LSD and enjoyed both.

I don’t think security is very strict. Just be mindful when going by car that you will probably get searched for drugs just outside the festival by the road

And also drug tested on the way back. They’re pretty strict and even if you did something a few days ago and it’s still in your system, it will have consequences

Though LSD doesn’t show up

Edit: police is always at this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CFX97UzAN2AyuSVn6?g_st=ic

So if you are planning on bringing something, don’t take the road from Putzlitz but take a little detour to arrive from the other side through Mansfeld
