The Impericon Festival 2025, and with it, our 20-year anniversary celebration, is approaching fast! We want to give you all the key information you need: from security checks and cloakrooms to wristbands and more.
Got no tickets yet? Secure them here!
GENERAL INFO
We want you to enjoy the shows and have a great time - including crowdsurfing, mosh pits, and walls of death. BUT: Please look out for one another and offer help if needed. If your actions endanger the health or safety of other festivalgoers, we’ll have to issue warnings - and in the worst-case scenario, remove you from the festival.
And not to sound like your worried mom, but: bring earplugs! Even though we continuously monitor sound levels, we want you to still be enjoying full-volume festivals ten years from now.
If you or someone around you needs medical help at any time: plenty of medical staff will be on-site! If you can't locate them immediately, just contact any security personnel.
SECURITY CHECKS
Please understand that security checks will be carried out again this year before entry. To help everyone get in quickly and without issues, please review the list of items that are NOT allowed on festival grounds:
-
Food and drinks (vegan/vegetarian options will be available inside)
-
Dogs or other animals
-
Weapons or weapon-like objects (firearms, blades, etc.)

Glass bottles/containers, cans, canisters, plastic bottles

Pyrotechnics such as fireworks, flares

Note on (video) cameras: You’re absolutely allowed to take photos for your social media or other private use with your phone. However, professional audio and video recordings are prohibited, and misuse will be prosecuted. Please leave professional digital or analog SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses at home. These will be confiscated at the entrance and returned only after the event - or you’ll need to take them back to your car.
CLOAKROOM & LOCKERS
You can drop off jackets and backpacks at the large cloakroom for a small fee.
Important: There will be no lockers on site this year.
ACCESSIBILITY FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS & PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
For wheelchair users and people with disabilities, there will be a raised platform with ramp access inside the venue. From there, you'll have a clear and safe view of the stage. No advance registration or special wristband is required. Trained staff will assist you with access to the platform.
YOUTH PROTECTION
Children and teens under 16 may only attend the festival accompanied by a legal guardian or authorized adult. You need a signed parental permission form, which you can download here.
Teens aged 16–17 must leave the festival by midnight. Don’t worry though - the festival wraps up by 00:00, so no one will miss a band!
TICKETS & WRISTBANDS
If the tear-off section of your ticket is already detached, just bring both parts to the entrance - it won’t be a problem.
Access to the festival grounds is only permitted with a valid festival wristband. You'll receive it in exchange for your valid ticket. The wristband will be secured to your wrist and is non-transferable.
Please take care of your wristband - lost bands will not be replaced.
