Each day, all the stages open one hour before the first concert starts, and close when the last performance ends. Check the festival schedule for performances times. Only the Main Stage gates open earlier: at 4pm on Friday; at 8am on Saturday and Sunday.Premium seating is only available at the Main Stage and is accessible only with VIP Tickets or for one specific act with a Premium Ticket.
