WHAT DO I HAVE TO CONSIDER WHEN ENTERING?
If you have purchased tickets for multiple people, they will all appear in your ticket account first.

On Universe, you can either transfer your ticket to another person via "transfer" or personalize your ticket via "edit". The difference here is that when you transfer the ticket, it goes directly to the other person's account (the person has to accept it).

UNDER 18 / YOUTH PROTECTION
We look forward to visitors of all ages! For our youngest festival fans, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Children and adolescents from 0 to 15 years of age may only attend the event if accompanied by a person with parental authority or guardian with a fully completed parental authority in conjunction with a valid admission ticket. You can find the form for the parental authority below.
For young people aged 16 and over, access to the event will be approved until midnight without being accompanied by a person with custody or parental authority upon presentation of a fully completed participation permit. The participation permit must be presented upon entry to the event site. If minors aged 16 and over want to visit the event site after midnight, they must be accompanied by a person with parental authority or guardianship, including a completed parental authority.
"Personal custody" is a person who, alone or together with another person, is entitled to personal custody in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code.
"Guardian" can only be a person who meets the following requirements:
The person is of legal age and has the necessary maturity to responsibly provide a child with the necessary support at the event.
The person can present a power of attorney from a person with custody stating that the person is acting with the consent of the person with custody, whereby a copy of the identity card of the person with custody must also be presented together with the power of attorney.
The person can ensure the child's journey home.
For the protection of children and adolescents, we are entitled to deny children access to the event if, at our discretion, the protection of the parents or guardians is not sufficiently guaranteed. In this regard, we would like to point out that rock and pop events are usually designed for an adult audience. As a family-friendly festival, we are happy when parents or guardians take part in our events together with their children. In such cases, we ask that you pay attention to the safety of children so that all visitors can enjoy the festival without any worries.
In particular, adequate hearing protection must be provided.

To the permission to participate for minors aged 16-17

Please use public transport in the spirit of sustainability and neighbourliness with the residents. As you can see in the previous one, there are a wide variety of ways to arrive relaxed.
Note that the police have an increased focus on "wild and illegal parkers", so that parking in residents' parking spaces or parking areas not marked as such can be punished more strongly.

SAFETY
Paramedics will be on duty on the festival grounds to take care of you in an emergency. Please look for the medical tents or the corresponding guidance system and signs on the festival grounds. The exact location is marked on the site plan. If you need urgent help, contact the nearest steward/security!
If you are diabetic, please bring enough insulin and make sure to eat the right food at the catering stands. We would like to point out that you must register your medication in advance and use the barrier-free entrance so that you can check in without any problems.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
In the event of a medical emergency, you can either contact the nearest steward/security or dial 112 directly. Ifit is a medical emergency, the paramedics on the premises are alerted at the same time. If something seems strange to you, please do not hesitate to inform the relevant authorities, even if you are not sure whether it is actually an emergency.
If you call 112 or report something to the paramedics, be prepared for the following questions:
-
Where is the patient?
-
What happened?
-
How many injured?
-
What injuries?
-
Who reports (name is enough – the number gets 112 automatically and cannot be suppressed!)?
-
Waiting for questions!
Even without medical training, you can help yourself afterwards:
Pay attention to your own safety before you help others. If there is no danger to you, start administering first aid. Reassure – care: Injured people are usually afraid and need the certainty that help is on the way.
Ask other people to support you and, if necessary, instruct the emergency services – an ambulance or team of paramedics is on your way to you on foot.
Create a privacy screen so that the injured person does not feel watched by strangers. This is an important issue for many injured people.
The domiciliary rights lie with the organizers and their commissioned third parties during the entire festival. The instructions of the organizer's security service must be followed at all times.
SUN
With bright blue skies and sunshine, it's easy to forget a few essential things:
Please always drink enough water to avoid dehydration of your body. Both during the day and at night. Free drinking water is available on the festival grounds.
Apply a lot of sunscreen with a high sun protection factor.
If the sun is too intense, wear a sun hat or headgear and light clothing that covers the skin.
Important: Pay attention to each other and also point out to others that there are enough fluids and the use of sunscreen!
RAIN
Please check the weather forecast in the morning and dress according to the forecasts.
STORM & THUNDERSTORM
WHAT TO DO DURING THUNDERSTORMS

If you do not manage to reach the evacuation areas in time, then pay attention to the following:

STRUCTURES ON THE SITE
Avoid the proximity to any structures, such as light poles, information towers, etc. on the festival grounds. Of course, we comply with all safety regulations and all superstructures have been approved by the responsible authorities, but a residual risk still remains during thunderstorms.

Avoid all metal objects, such as fences or scaffolding.

If you notice open fires, such as campfires, please let the security service know.
If a fire occurs, please note:
Your own safety always comes first.
Keep calm.
Act decisively.
If you report a fire to 112 or the security service, please be prepared for the following questions:

The access roads on the site consist partly of meadow, dry meadow, cobblestones and other uneven surfaces. These surfaces can be challenging for wheelchair users in places. We recommend that you consult your accompanying person(s) if necessary.
Due to the structural conditions of the Olympic Stadium, the stadium interior ("Perry’s Stage") is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair users.
However, there are seats for wheelchair users and their companions in the upper circulation of the stadium with a view of the Perry Stage. We thank you for your understanding.
Certified assistance dogs and guide dogs for the blind are welcome at Lollapalooza Berlin. For safety reasons, however, dogs are not permitted in the front of stage areas. We ask for your understanding. If you are dependent on an assistance dog, please contact us at barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com.
Deaf visitors can bring an accompanying person to the festival free of charge.
A tandem of a Deaf contact person and a hearing sign language interpreter will be available on site. They offer a mobile interpreting service and support you with various issues at the festival. Just come to the meeting point in the Weingarten if you need support.
For prescription medications that fall under the Narcotics Act (cannabis or addictive substitutes), please bring a prescription from your attending physician. If medication needs to be refrigerated on the premises, it is possible at the corresponding info point. Please bring the medication in the original packaging and a storage box labeled with your name to ensure damage-free storage and correct dispensing.
If you have any further questions about taking medication with you, please write to us: barrierefrei@lollapaloozade.com.
Please report to our paramedics on the premises if you are not feeling well. Security and the Service Team Inclusion can also be contacted in the event of a medical emergency. They then arrange everything so that you are helped quickly and safely.
AWARENESS
Feeling uncomfortable, unsafe or overwhelmed? Our awareness team is here for you.
We want Lollapalooza to be a place where everyone can feel free and safe – whether you're dancing, singing, chilling or just being. But sometimes a moment shifts. A feeling changes. A situation gets too much.
A boundary is crossed
Someone acts inappropriately
You feel watched or unsafe
You see someone else who may need support
You are not alone – and you don’t have to deal with it on your own.
“See something – say something” It’s more than a slogan – it’s shared responsibility. You can help make Lolla a safer space for everyone.
If something feels off – for you or for someone else – talk to us.
Our experienced awareness team is here for you.
We’ll listen – without pressure, without judgment
You can take a break in a protected retreat space (check the site map)

Values & Conduct Lolla together – stay mindful.
We are many – with different styles, stories, and ways of celebrating.
To make Lollapalooza a space where everyone feels free, safe and welcome, we need respect, awareness and care.
How you move through this space affects those around you. Let’s keep the vibe high – together.
❌ What’s not okay:
Any form of discrimination – e.g. racism, queerphobia, ableism
Sexist remarks or inappropriate behavior
Comments or jokes about bodies, clothing, or identity
Staring, catcalling, filming without consent
Touch without clear agreement
“I was just joking” as an excuse for crossing someone’s line
✅ What keeps it good for everyone:
● Ask before you touch someone
● Give space – physically & emotionally
● Don’t judge expression, style, or presence
● Drink water, take breaks – you don’t have to push through
● Check in if someone seems uncomfortable
● Speak up if a boundary is crossed – directly or via crew
Lolla is what we make of it – together. With awareness, it stays good for everyone.
Want to help but don’t know how?

Not sure what to do? Ask. Listening helps
We envision a space where lived solidarity comes first and where all people can enjoy a carefree and positive experience. That’s why Lollapalooza Berlin does not tolerate any form of racism, sexism, antisemitism, homo-, bi-, or transphobia, ableism, or any other form of discrimination, exclusion, or harassment. Our goal is to make the festival a place of respect, awareness, and mutual care – where everyone feels safe and accepted, regardless of skin color, gender, sexual orientation or identity, religion, background, disability, or age.
By purchasing a ticket and entering the festival grounds, you agree to our Code of Conduct – which includes a strict zero-tolerance policy for harassment.
Violations of this code will be sanctioned and may result in removal from the event. Our awareness teams and festival staff are always available and ready to support all festival visitors who feel uncomfortable or threatened.
