Rock Out at Southside Festival: Your Ultimate Guide to the Party Marathon in Neuhausen ob Eck

Guide for the Non-Stop Bash at 'Southside' Event - Items needed for the Southside party marathon endurance event.

Ready for a music extravaganza? The Southside Festival, one of the largest German open-air festivals, is heading to Neuhausen ob Eck in Tuttlingen district from June 20th. Green Day, Apache 207, and Zartmann will roar through the airwaves this year. Here's everything you need to know to get your party started!

Cost of Tickets

If you're late to secure your spot, worry not! A day pass (without camping) was still available for 129 euros shortly before the event. For a more immersive experience, opt for the regular festival ticket, priced at around 289 euros this year, which includes access to all stages, the campsite, and the festive vibe.

Eco-conscious campers can choose the "Green Living" festival pass, where consideration takes center stage in the camping guidelines. Parking fees for cars stand at 15 euros. For campers, vans, or buses, separate parking spaces are available with their own fees.

Getting There

Traveling without a car? Hop on a train to Tuttlingen and catch one of the shuttle buses running approximately every 15 minutes to the festival site. Need a hassle-free ride from major cities like Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg, Munich, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, or Tübingen? Book an extra bus service online with your luggage included.

Fancy driving yourself? Navigate to "GewerbePark, 78579 Neuhausen ob Eck" and follow official signs. Be prepared for traffic on arrival and departure days, so allow extra time.

What to Pack

Festival packing is half the fun! Pack your ticket, ID, and some cash, just in case ATMs are swamped. Essential items include weatherproof clothing, a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat. Don't forget a power bank for your mobile, sunscreen, water bottle, hygiene products, earplugs, Gaffa tape, cable ties, a small curtain lock, and a tow rope for emergencies — especially in the mud.

Prohibited Items

Check the festival's website for the complete list of restricted items, but here are a few key ones: Glass containers, bags bigger than A4 size, furniture like sofas or large tables, pets, and drones are all off-limits.

New and Improved

This year, the organizers are introducing a cashless payment system, meaning that you can no longer use cash on the festival site. All festival wristbands will be equipped with a chip, and you'll need to load the chips in advance via the event portal. There will be an emergency charging station opposite the Ferris wheel. Any remaining credit will be refunded after the festival.

In addition, due to the new cannabis regulations, you can bring grass with you; however, consumption is forbidden near minors.

A stronger police presence is expected this year, although larger traffic controls have been abolished. Medical, fire, and police services will be available around the clock. The event is known for its peaceful and friendly atmosphere, so organizers hope this will remain the case in 2025.

Who's Here to Help in Case of Emergency?

Stewards and medical personnel will be on hand 24/7. In case of bad weather, listen for announcements on the loudspeakers regarding safety measures.

For any other issues, simply use the code word "Panama" to signal that you need discreet assistance or support.

So pack your bags, gather your friends, and get ready for the ultimate music party marathon at Southside Festival!
