Re Tonder,

It's changed somewhat these days and is mostly held within one area where you need a wristband pass to enter. This gets you to all the concerts.
It used to be that all the individual concerts were ticketed and held in various parts of the town including the festival site itself. It was easier to be "part of the festival" without committing yourself to concerts.

Security was never much of an issue in the old days although "health and safety" was always taken seriously. They did check for booze on occasion but water was usually allowed in if the bottle was sealed. No restrictions on food.


I've not been for a few years and things may well have become stricter.
