How your day runs

Your bus day

  1. 1 Before you go Check your ticket

    The name on your ticket needs to be yours, for security and safety. Screenshot it in case reception drops out.

  2. 2 At your stop Arrive early

    Be at your pick-up spot 15 minutes before departure with your ticket ready for the driver.

  3. 3 At Handpicked Hop off and wander in

    Your bus drops you in bus parking off Step Rd. Follow the path through the vines to the festival entrance.

  4. 4 Home time Same spot, 10.45pm

    After the last act, head back to where you were dropped off. Buses leave around 10.45pm and take you back to your stop.

End of the night

Finding your bus home

Your bus home leaves from the same spot it dropped you off, in bus parking beside the main entry off Step Rd. Take a photo of where you got off so it's easy to find in the dark.

  • The last act finishes around 10.30pm
  • Buses leave around 10.45pm
  • There are no pass-outs, so once you leave the festival you can't come back in
