Festival area
Inside the festival area there are two stages, Kolbein's Saloon and Hesjestauren. There is also a festival shop, merch stall and other sales stalls. In Kolbein's Saloon you will also find a café serving hot food and cold drinks.
There is also a bar connected to both stage areas.
Camping areas
There are two camping areas in connection with the festival. Upper camp and lower camp. Both camping areas have space for caravans, vans, trucks, camping buses and tents. There are toilets and emptying points for camping toilets at both camping areas. The entrance to the camping area is manned, and a festival pass including camping is required to enter the area.
There is an 18-year age limit at both camping areas. If necessary, there may be an additional camping area at Breimshallen.
Our campsite follows national guidelines for distance between arches, and we ask all guests to respect the boundaries used by our staff.
Shops
In addition to our own festival shop with the most important goods for our festival-goers, we have Coop Marked Reed and Coop Prix Byrkjelo nearby. Coop Marked Reed is a medium walk from the festival area (approx. 15 minutes one way). Coop Prix Byrkjelo is located approx. 4.5 km from the festival area.
Age limits
During the day and until 6 pm, there is no age limit in the festival area, except in the camping areas. After 6 pm, Kolbein's Saloon is closed to young people under 18, but we have a separate area for them by the stage at Hesjestauren. Our camping area has an 18-year age limit.
If the age limit is violated, you will be turned away from the area.

Truck camp and parking
From 2024, it will not be possible to park carriages, vans, buses, trucks or other vehicles on the road outside the festival area while waiting for camping to start. This area will be used for truck camp, and we need the area itself in advance of the festival.
Hearing protection
At times there can be loud noise at the festival. Think especially about protecting small children by using hearing protection or earplugs.
