4. Tent hotel
Would you like to have a very relaxed journey to the Blackfield Festival without stress and a lot of luggage? Would you like to camp even though you do not have your own camping equipment? If yes, check the service of MEIN ZELT STEHT SCHON! Here you can book a tent and all the necessary camping equipment and your tent will be set up - ready and waiting for you upon arrival. You just have to move in!

5. Waste disposal/ deposit
In order to protect the environment we have decided to work with a deposit system. Upon entering the camping site you will be given a large plastic bag for waste disposal. We will charge you 5€ as a deposit. You will get the money back upon departure or whenever you hand in a full bag. You can return bags until 9 pm on Sunday and between 8 and 11 am on Monday.


6. Aftershow parties
This year we will have two different aftershow parties that only Blackfield ticket holders have access to- of course free of charge. We also booked several DJs to make sure that they will cater to different tastes. For more information concerning the aftershow parties, click here: Aftershow parties
