Youths between 16 and 17 years of age without their parents, legal guardians or custodians must leave the festival site (including the concert area and camp site) before 24:00!

Legal guardian
Parent or guardian appointed by law.

Person having the care and custody of the child
Parent, guardian or third person to whom the parent or guardian has transferred custody for the duration of the festival.

If a youth is accompanied by a third person, they must have a written “agreement for custody” issued and signed in a legally binding way. This has to be carried at all times along with the personal ID. Failure to produce said document upon request may lead to expulsion by police. The homeward journey must be guaranteed for the accompanied youth.

We expressly point out that the legal guardians, normally the parents, must in all conscience decide who may temporarily assume the responsibility for education and to which extent it is transfered. The person to whom this mandate is transfered must also be aware of the responsibility it implies. Please note: Care and custody for more than one minor may be transferred to this person!

The agreement can be downloaded HERE!

Drinking any type of alcohol, including alcopops, under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited and against German law!

AGGREGATES

If you plan on taking aggregates with you onto the site, please make sure they are in good working condition and that they are not leaking oil or fuel. A maximum of 20 liters of fuel in an appropriate canister are allowed per vehicle. We assume you will handle this matter in an appropriate way and that it needs no further explanation or discussion. From 1 a.m., all aggregates need to be turned off for nighttime peace.
to top
AIRPORT

The closest major airport is Nürnberg. Other airports that can easily be reached by train are Stuttgart, München and Frankfurt/Main (NOT Frankfurt-Hahn). There are SUMMER BREEZE buses going from Stuttgart and Nuremberg airports directly to the festival site. Timetables and booking info can be found on http://www.mondialevents.de.
to top
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE

The campsite can be accesses from 10 a.m. Wednesday and has to be cleared by 2 p.m. Sunday. We urge you to refrain from arriving at the site earlier than the opening hours! The daily parking lot will be open from 9 a.m.. We will put up signs around the entire Dinkelsbuehl area to guide you to the campsite, parking lots and the festival site!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to traffic restrictions, it will be impossible for you to leave the campground by car once you have entered it. This applies from Wednesday until Thursday afternoon. The shuttle bus will give you a lift to the city center of Dinkelsbuehl free of charge.

Those traveling with public transport will find a PDF document with all relevant information about bus and train timetables to and from Dinkelsbühl HERE.

All those going to SUMMER BREEZE can take a bus shuttle from the main train stations / airports in Stuttgart or Nuremberg straight to the main entrance of the SUMMER BREEZE Open Air in Dinkelsbühl. To book your tickets or find more info go to . http://www.mondialevents.de.

BAN
ON
GLASS

Unfortunately, some of the festival visitors' behaviour forces us to strictly prohibit any glass on the festival site and on the camping grounds. This includes porcelains and stoneware, too! We will strictly check each car entering the site. Our security will also check the camping grounds during the festival days. Please avoid bringing any kind of glass regardless of its contents. Due to the high accident and fire hazard, oil (kerosene/paraffin) lamps are prohibited too! Flacons and small medicine bottles are allowed up to a volume of 50ml. Best thing to do is to pour all liquids into plastic containers. Please support us and stick to this rule - otherwise we will face massive problems in getting access to appropriate camping grounds in the future!
to top
BEER
GARDEN

Once again, you will have the possibility to enjoy our beer gardens! There will be two of them on the site. So those looking for a little break will have the opportunity to enjoy a drink and some food in a comfortable atmosphere right there!
to top
BRANDING

Our branding stand will be on site again too, also at the same location as 2011. Our dear friend Elle will brand the SUMMER BREEZE logo onto your leather wristbands, wallets, boots, bags, etc. He will have several different red hot designs to give you an authentic branding. Same as last year, this service will be available for a voluntary contribution. So if you want a different kind of decoration for your denim cutoff or your jeans old or new, you can have it done here. But please note: It is not possible to brand synthetic fibres. Elle will happily advise you.
to top
BUS
SHUTTLE

We will have a bus shuttle running between Dinkelsbuehl and the festival area. With the exception of Wednesday (from 10 a.m.) and Sunday (from 07 a.m. until 2 p.m.), the shuttle will run between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. between Dinkelsbuehl and the festival site. Make sure to be at the bus top in good time and allow enough time to get any connections!
to top
CAMEL
STAGE

The Camel Stage is the fourth stage at SUMMER BREEZE Open Air. It is located right next to the Party Tent and will host a balanced program with selected bands starting Wednesday, August 15th, 2011.
to top
CAMERAS

Regular analog or digital compact cameras and mobile phones with integrated cameras are allowed. Reflex cameras with interchangeable lenses, video cameras and any audio recording equipment is strictly prohibited on the festival site without a SUMMER BREEZE press/photo pass!
to top
CAMPING
/
PARKING

There will be enough parking and camping space available. You may park your car right next to your tent. Camping is not permitted without the purchase of a festival ticket. Parking and camping are included in the festival ticket price. Therefore, please make use of the official parking and camping areas! Reservations for camp space are not possible.

The daily parking area can be found just across the street of the campsite entrance. You may also park your car in that area while camping on the campsite separately. This is comfortable if you intend to leave the festival early and need to make sure you can move your car at any time.

Please note: only vehicles with a weight not exceeding 3.5 tons will have access to the campground. Trailers must be kept with each car. Furthermore, trailers which can only be towed by a tractor or lorry will not be allowed on the campsite. The same goes for tractors and generally all motorized two and three wheel vehicles as well as quad bikes.

Trailers and campers shall not bring gas cylinders exceeding 11kg. Please make sure your equipment is in good working condition and use it in an appropriate way. Any misuse may have fatal consequences. We believe this needs no further explanation.

Heavy vehicles such as caravans and cars with trailers will be routed to specific areas. There will also be a certain area where you can wait for friends or hold space available for them to use. This is only possible in those areas. Please do follow the security staff instructions and make up your mind on what you want to do prior to arriving on the campsite.

Camping outside the official camping area is prohibited. Doing so will be fined! The police will be patrolling!
to top
CASH
MACHINE
/
ATM

There will be a cash machine on site, located next to the entrance to the VIP area, close to the Camel Stage, so you can't really miss it. Since the cash machine will be located inside a container, you will be able to keep your feet dry while withdrawing cash. The cash machine is part of the BankCard network. The charges for cash withdrawals will be displayed at the machine.
to top
CHILDREN

Children of up to 12 years of age have free access when presenting the child's and one of the parents' Ids. Please check the AGE LIMIT / PROTECTION OF MINORS item in this ABC for further information regarding admittance to the separate areas.
to top
CONFISCATED
ITEMS

All items of little value that are confiscated at the doors will go straight into the rubbish bin. These include vuvuzelas, oil lamps, simple tools, megaphones, noisemakers, simple knives, etc.! Items of more value may be collected until Sunday evening. Any items that are not collected until this time will go in the bin, too!
to top
CREW
/
SECURITY

Please be nice to these boys and girls. Treat them the way you would like them to treat you. Keep in mind theirs is quite a stressful job.

Our securities will be wearing numbers so they can be easily identified. In case you do not feel treated appropriately by security, please inform our staff at the ticket counters immediately, providing the respective security’s number. We will then take further steps to solve the problem! However, generally speaking, the securities' instructions have to be observed and followed without question. The reason is simple: it ensures a smooth festival flow that saves us all a lot of time and hassle.
to top
DINKELSBUEHL

Since the festival site is located about 5km outside of Dinkelsbuehl city, we will again arrange a bus shuttle running from and to Dinkelsbuehl.

Dinkelsbuehl itself has numerous attractions and leisure facilities to offer. You can do some shopping in the picturesque medieval Old Town, check out some of the countless cafes, restaurants and bars or visit the indoor swimming pool as well as one of the last open-air swimming pools by a river - the Woernitz river shore!
to top
DOGS

Dogs and any other pets or animals are not permitted on the entire festival and campgrounds.
to top
DOORS
OPEN

Doors to the festival site will open on 11 a.m. Thursday, 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The show starts at 1 p.m. on Thursday, 11 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

When entering the festival site, you will have to go through additional security checks. Make sure you only carry the permitted quantity of drinks in the corresponding boxes and cans as well as the permitted kinds of cameras. Otherwise we will have to take them away from you.

In addition, the following items are prohibited on the festival site: pocket knives, video cameras, video mobile phones, walkman, cassette and MD recorders, any pyrotechnical gear, any sort of cans (hairspray, deodorant), flacons, flagstaffs, sticks, nail files and gas-powered horns/vuvuzelas.
to top
FESTIVAL
ACCESS
WRIST
BAND

We will exchange your tickets for the festival wristbands right at the entrance to the campsite. You must show your wristband to any member of security or staff on demand. Therefore, you must not take it off your wrist from Wednesday until your departure on Sunday.
to top
FESTIVAL
BOOKLET

The official SUMMER BREEZE festival booklet can be purchased at the entrance to the campsite and at both merchandise booths for a contribution towards expenses of € 1.-. It contains all information about the festival, the bands and the running order. It’s also a perfect item for the bands to sign at the signing sessions.
to top
FIRE

Open fire is strictly prohibited throughout the entire camping and festival site. Camping stoves and barbecue grills are allowed as long as they are not used for purposes other than intended. Due to some serious accidents which have resulted in life threatening injuries, we expressly urge you to exercise extreme caution when using fire starters to light charcoal barbeques! Oil lamps are not allowed on the festival site!
to top
FIRST
AID

There will be a large first aid center right by the entrance to the festival area. There will also be 2 additional first aid stations on the campsite that are open 24 hours.

Both stations will be run by the MALTESER emergency service. In addition, the following emergency number can be called, which is also available 24 hrs: + 49 700-MALTESER (+49 700-62583737) until further notice.

FOOD
/
DRINKS

Naturally, we will provide you with the opportunity to buy refreshments and food. Stands can be found throughout the site. You may bring your own drinks (for your own use only) to the campground. You may only take a tetra pack or a plastic bottle of up to 0.5 liters per person or a SUMMER BREEZE 0.4 ltr mug with you onto the festival site.

PLEASE NOTE: Glass is strictly prohibited on the entire festival and camping grounds!
to top
GARBAGE

We are aware that many people do leave a lot of garbage behind. One more reason to ask you for your kind help to address this situation. The costs of garbage disposal have grown incredibly throughout the last few years, which we need to manage somehow.

We will provide garbage bags when entering the site. Bringing back a full garbage bag will be rewarded with a huge (DIN A0) poster with an aerial photo of the festival and campsite. The photo will be taken on Thursday and is to be printed on Friday. The poster will then be available on Saturday from 14:00 to 22:00 at both supermarkets and the security camp. Better secure your poster during this time! The posters that are left over after 22:00 on Saturday will be available next to the container at the exit, where you will also be able to collect any confiscated items from 20:00 on Saturday.

Unfortunately, more and more people show up bringing loads of furniture. Disposing of one piece of furniture is more expensive than the price of 2-3 festival tickets. Therefore, we will have security guards checking the camping grounds and taking pictures of your car and anything suspicious you might leave behind after your departure. In case of violation, you will be charged an additional fee for waste disposal and each case will be taken to court as this is illegal!

Please also make sure you keep your camping space tidy during your entire stay in your own interest.

Please make sure you do not leave any metal items such as tent pegs in the ground, as this presents a serious problem for us.

INFOPOINT

This year we will have an official information point on the festival area. If any changes should occur during the festival, we will announce them there immediately. Also, should you have any problems, questions and so on, you can approach our staff there for them to forward your concerns to us.

LOST
AND
FOUND

In case you find lost property, please bring it to the info point! If you have lost something please get in touch with our staff at the info point, too. Any item not being picked up by the end of the festival will be transferred to the official lost and found office in Dinkelsbuehl three days after the festival.
to top
MERCHANDISE

Festival merchandise and merchandise of the performing artists will be available at the huge merchandise booth which is going to be located centrally on the festival site. On Wednesday, the official SUMMER BREEZE merchandise will also be available right next to the party tent.
to top
NIGHTTIME
PEACE

As we all know, quite a few party animals will show up again at this year’s SUMMER BREEZE, so we decided to set up a party tent for these animals to have the chance to continue partying till dawn. But yet again, this means it’s not allowed to use any stereos or run any engines or aggregates on the campsite between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. We expect you to respect this rule, as this is a legal restraint from the local government that will be enforced by us. This is in the interest of people living in the surrounding areas but also for those staying on the campsite who simply want to sleep, which we think is fair enough!
to top
NON-FOOD

Once again, our trading mile will offer you a large selection of CDs, textiles, jewelry and much more this year.
to top
PARTY
STAGE

Here we will provide you with an exciting program starting Wednesday, August 15th, 2011. It will kick off with the finals of our newcomer contest, the NEW BLOOD AWARD. On the three regular festival days there will also be a lot of variety - in addition to the main stages. The Party Tent is located right at the entrance of the concert site. Unmissable!
to top
PHARMACY

The closest pharmacy (Aesculap-Apotheke) is located in Dinkelsbuehl near the main bus station (inside the REWE supermarket next to McDonald’s, Luitpoldstr. 27). In addition, there are about ten more pharmacies in the greater Dinkelsbuehl area.
to top
POLICE

The local police will be there to serve and protect you. They are really nice and willing to help wherever possible. However, they will be testing for drug and alcohol abuse as usual. For that reason, but also for your own safety, please make sure your driver stays sober. We will not clear the daily parking lot so you may stay there overnight. The police controls on Sunday will definitely happen, be forewarned!

Furthermore, the police considers the whole festival ground, including concert area, campsite and parking area, as public roads. Please keep this in mind when driving on the festival site (no drugs/alcohol, only registered cars, mandatory use of helmets for bikers, MOT, etc.) and behave as if you were driving on an open street. The police will be there to enforce traffic laws.
to top
POST
/
MAIL

There are post boxes in Sinbronn and Illenschwang which provide daily service except on Sunday. The nearest post office is located in Dinkelsbuehl (Luitpoldstr. 13) right next to the local police station. 2 minutes walking distance from the bus station / McDonald’s.
to top
POSTERS

Due to popular demand, we will make our festival posters available at the merchandising booth again this year.
to top
RACISM

Racism will not be tolerated! Hereby we once again would like to state we are strictly against any form of right-wing philosophy or racism. We also count on your help: if you come across anything, please inform us immediately! Either approach security or, even better, go to the ticket counter. We will take immediate action against the people involved.

ORDER

The running order with all the bands' exact stage times will be available from early July under “Bands 2012”.

SHOWERS

Three shower stations will be on the campground. One of them will be located close to the Party Tent. The other one will be located close to the main street you will be using to come to the festival. For each shower, we must charge € 2.50 to cover the costs at least partially. In addition, we will have proper water flushed toilets right by the shower station. For those wanting to use the water toilets: you can do so for a fee of € 1.-. The shower station will be open non-stop from Wednesday 12.00h until Sunday 12.00h. Furthermore, there will be various free water stations where you can collect fresh water for cooking and washing. Please make sure you don’t waste any water!! This is the only way to provide enough water for all of you and refilling won’t be a problem.

SIGNING
SESSIONS

Almost all bands will be holding signing sessions at our partner’s booths of METAL.DE and METAL HAMMER. Please note the scheduled times and make sure you don’t miss this chance.

SOUND
SYSTEMS

We truly understand every one of you who wish to carry on partying at their tents after the live sets have finished, which is impossible without music. Some people unfortunately keep overdoing this, so we need to ban PAs, mixing desks, power amplifiers, electric guitars, drums, vuvuzelas, trumpets, megaphones, horns, etc. etc. A regular car hi-fi will do and should not disturb your neighbours. Once again we would herewith mention the nighttime peace, which we kindly ask you to observe.
to top
STAGES

Much like in previous years, SUMMER BREEZE will service you with two stages which are well known as MAIN STAGE and PAIN STAGE. All bands will alternate with no overlapping, so you just need to move a bit to see each band play, just the way you’re used to. A video screen will be in place again right between the Main and the Pain Stage. Proceedings already start on Wednesday at the Party Tent and the Camel Stage.

SUPERMARKET

Anything you might need to survive this festival weekend can be found in our supermarkets, which are marked on the site map, for reasonable prices.

All rental items (except for tents and toilets) can be conveniently picked up at Ready To Rock's service tent and used anywhere on the camp site.

Enjoy the SUMMER BREEZE carefree package by Ready To Rock: Book online, get there, check in – ready to tock!

THEFT

Just like at many big events, thiefs are up to mischief more and more often. Most of the times it is organised gangs trying to pick your wallets in the crowd in front of the stages. Therefore make sure your wallets as well as any other belongings are kept safe. Further than that, do not leave any valuables or car keys in your tent and make sure to keep your car and tents locked when leaving.

DAILY
TICKETS

Each day there's going to be a limited number of one-day tickets available at the festival box office exclusively, valid only for the same day. The day parking lot is just opposite the entrance to the camp site and is well signposted. Parking is included in the ticket price. Camping is not allowed for one-day ticket holders. There are no one-day tickets available for Wednesday, although there's a lot going on in the tent on that day already. This is a special bonus for 3-day ticket buyers only.

TOILETS
/
WATER
SUPPLY

Always a bit of a problem, but life is no walk in the park. We still don't have a sufficient water supply at the festival site. At SUMMER BREEZE 2011 the water supply system was completely renewed and overhauled. Instead of the containers used in previous years, there are now several water stations. These are all marked on the site map. All these water stations will provide drinking water only. Furthermore and besides the portable toilets, there will also be paid flushable toilets in the concert area, as well as a free water station to wash your hands.

Please do not drop entire toilet paper rolls into the flushable toilets. It is quite obvious why!

In order to guarantee the proper use of the water we have available, we have to ban inflatable pools. The volume of water required to fill them would collapse our water lines. Water pistols are prohibited too. Unfortunately we had to find out that some were being filled with body fluids. Those who wish to be sprayed with their own or others' urine are welcome to do so, but not at our festival. It's bad enough that we actually need to mention this.

TRADE

It is prohibited to trade in any kind of goods.

TRAIN
STATIONS

The closest stations are Ellwangen, Ansbach, Crailsheim, Dombuehl, Noerdlingen and Ulm. Arriving there, you can easily catch a bus to Dinkelsbuehl. For detailed train information please check: http://www.bahn.de. For more travel information please go to JOURNEY!

There are SUMMER BREEZE buses going from the main train stations in Stuttgart and Nuremberg directly to the festival site. Timetables and booking information can be find on http://www.mondialevents.de.
to top
UTENSILS

Rivets, drinking horns and the likes do belong on a festival, no doubt. We do not want to prohibit these items and we do trust your sensible use of them. Only self-made rivets or ornaments (with nails, barbed wire, etc.) and everything that increases the risk of accidents or may be misused as a weapon may not be brough onto the site. Vuvuzelas, which have reached an arguable popularity since the beginning of the 2010 Football World Cup, are prohibited on the entire festival site (concert area and camp site).

VIP
CONTAINER

The VIP ticket container is located outside the festival site at the football field in Sinbronn, opposite the petrol station. All accreditations, guest lists and passes for bands, traders, members of staff, etc. have to be picked up from here. Our disabled friends will also get their free tickets from here on presentation of their handicapped ID.

Opening hours of accreditation / VIP container:Mi/Wed: 15.08.2012 08:00 - 22:00 Uhr

VIOLENCE

Up until now, SUMMER BREEZE has not experienced any violence – and we would like it to stay this way. Anyone looking for trouble or damaging anyone’s property, inside the fencing or beyond, will be kicked out!!! Have the courage to interfere or inform security if someone starts trouble or harasses women.

Weapons are prohibited on the entire festival site! There should be no need to explain why. That includes baseball bats, knuckle dusters, gas, axes, chainsaws, spades and any dangerous tools such as hammers, knives longer than 10cm, carpet cutters, chain saws, spades and so on as well as pyrotechnical items.

People with 51% disability or over and/or a B or H in their handicapped ID will get free entry to the festival. The accompanying person has to pay the normal ticket price. The free access bracelet is available on presentation of the handicapped ID and the identity card at the VIP container. The accompanying person will get the bracelet from the regular ticket booths.
