ESSENTIAL INFO

Make sure you bring the following with you to the festival:

• Your festival ticket, either as a hard copy or on your phone. You will need to have the bar-code to be able to get your wristband, so this is crucial! Please note that there will be no wifi by the main gate, so don’t forget to take a screenshot before you get to the site.
• Bring photo ID if you want to consume alcohol – remember the legal drinking age in Iceland is 20 years old.

Please don’t bring the following prohibited items with you to the festival:

• Professional photography and/or videography equipment without a media pass (detachable professional zoom lenses, stands or other commercial equipment).
• Outside food or beverages (including alcohol) of any kind, except 2 factory sealed bottles of water (up to 1 liter each).
• Drones, skateboards, bikes, fireworks, graffiti or painting supplies.
• Tents, chairs, or hammocks, unless you are staying in the campsite.

Full terms and conditions can be found here.

TICKETING & ENTRY

Tickets

• You can purchase festival passes via our ticketing agents here, subject to availability.
• Children under 10 can attend for free as long as they are accompanied by a fully paying guardian who is over the age of 20. Children between 11 and 17 must pay for a full adult ticket, and must also be accompanied by a guardian over the age of 20.
• Anyone who is 18 or over can attend as an adult, but must be over 20 to purchase or consume alcohol (inline with Icelandic law). To avoid being asked for ID every time you buy a drink we recommend going to customer info at the festival and picking up a ‘Proof of age’ wristband.
• You can upgrade your existing Secret Solstice 2017 pass to a higher-level pass (for example, standard ticket to VIP pass) at the main gate. The fee will be the difference between the price of your current pass, and the price of the pass you’re upgrading to. Keep in mind that this is subject to availability
