Music festivals and concert visits

In short: Music festivals and concerts offer live experiences of different sizes, from small club gigs to multi-day festivals. Good preparation makes the visit more relaxed.

In more detail: Tickets should ideally be bought directly from the organiser or authorised resale points to avoid fraud.

In detail

• Tickets: Buying early usually saves money, watch for fakes on resale.
• Packing list: Earplugs, rain cover, power bank, enough water.
• Hearing protection: Concerts can exceed 100 decibels, earplugs protect hearing (gehoerschutz-bei-musik-und-konzerten).
• Safety: Agree on a meeting point with friends, know the escape routes.
• Camping festivals: Plan for tent, sleeping bag and weatherproof clothing (camping-grundlagen).
• Behaviour: Consider others, do not throw objects.
• Aftercare: Let your hearing rest after loud concerts.
