Anyone caught with illegal drugs, e.g. during the searches at the entrance or on the venue, will immediately be handed over to the police and will not be allowed access to the festival.
Visitors with disabilities / accessibility
We pay a lot of attention to making our grounds easily accessible,, so that no one will be unable to take part in the event due to their physical limitations. On-site we will provide easy accessible barrier-free toilets. The accompanying person of a visitor with a degree of disability of 50% or more will receive free admission upon presentation of the ticket already purchased. Please get in direct contact with us via mail (info@musical-madness.de).
