About the festival
After the success of 2007 we now go on with the show in 2008 too. Last year it was proved that the Youth camp of Zanka is a very good place for such an event where you can bathe, talk, go for an excursion during the day and there are fantastic concerts and parties from the evening through the night.
This year it will be the same feeling, however the opportunities for entertainment will be much wider than last year: between 23rd and 27th July there we will think of those who are in fond of the active relaxing and like the sports and extreme sports. Here will take place the FUNDANGO Water Jump International Contest, there will be a skating-rink and beach football and finally the very popular KONA bicycle meeting.
When doing the program of the festival we kept in mind to meet these visitors musical taste, as a result there will be on stage such performances as Beatsteaks, Zion Train, Killa Kella, Dj Vadim; Noisia, dj Teebee, Real McKenzies, Cagedbaby and the Free Form Five. Of course, the most significant Hungarian Festival bands will also play here, but there is no need to list them as you know the most important ones who will make great concerts on the four stages.
It is also important that the touristical area is rich in sights, cultural heritage and gastronomy not to mention the fact that the festival will be cheap this year too and there are comfortable accommodation possibilities as well on the territory of the festival.

In some for the ticket shops of Ticket Express and Interticket it is possible that there is an extra service charge upon the ticket price. This extra charge is different from 100 to 400 HUF. At the same time the possibility of a comfortable access to the tickets may result that it is even cheaper to buy the tickets this way, and you do not have to travel far, that also costs some money. It is worth getting information before buying them where to find the closes ticket shop to your home.
The ticketportal network might also have some places where it is compulsory to pay this extra service charge. You can check it on www.ticketportal.hu.
If you come by public transport, you will save money and time, protect the environment and avoid traffic jam in Zanka. Be prepared for queuing at the station and the gate of the event. Arrive as early as possible to find the best place for the tent and then you can party without any problems. Please behave politely with inhabitants of Zanka and do not be the reproach of the festival visitors.
You can get to the venue by:
bus (www.volan.hu)
train (www.elvira.hu)
car (www.terkepcentrum.hu)
buckshee taxi (www.potyataxi.hu)
ferry (www.balatonihajozas.hu)
The worst choice is to arrive by car, it is worth planning your journey in advance because you can save plenty of time with a good itinerary. The entrance of the festival (if you come by train) is from the station beside the “kresz” park and if you come by car you can park in front of the main entrance of the Youth Centre for a parking fee. Caravans and motorbikes are not allowed into the venue, you can leave them in the parking place too. If you come by bicycle you can leave it in a separate gurded place for a very cheap fee. You are not allowed to bring animals in.
The campsite opens on 23rd July at 3pm and the Festival opens at 6pm.
There is a very well site for camping on the venue of the festival .The tickets’ price contain the possibility to enter the campsites fro free. You can check on the festival map where it can be found. There is a station and a bust station on the venue so you don’t have to carry your bags and packs too far.
When you arrive at the entrance of the festival, you will immediately be informed about the campsites and where you can find some free spaces. It is worth taking these advices. With your 4-day wrist band you will get a sack in which you can collect the litter around your tent. We would like to ask you to collect all the litter after the festival, because it makes our work easier regarding cleaning the venue.
We would like to ask you to use the toilets when needed and do not piss or s..t into the bushes or the river because it is very impolite and smelly too. The showers are cleaned more times a day. If you have any comments on clarity, please talk to the organizers.
There is one information point where you can get all the necessary info you need about traffic, maps, the place or the program. There are several public phones on the venue. You can recharge your phone at the information points and it is free.

The entering procedure is similar to other festivals’ system: please do what the guard says to be able to get in as quickly as possible: wristband check, package check etc. They do their job, please be understanding.

- do not climb up the tree
- the traffic is very intensive on the site, please let enough space for the vehicles
- the festival is for your mood and fun. please do not use drugs, you will not need it and against the law
- the level of sound might cause ear damage, sometimes have breaks between the concerts

If you are afraid that something of your stuff might be stolen, then use the left luggage that works 24 hours and free of charge. If you are robbed or some crime happens please immediately go to the police. There is a police station on the festival site.
The festival organizers focus on safety because a lot of people are on the site on a concentrated area of 6 hectares. Unfortunatelly, crime is there if so many people have fun together on the site. In order to prevent crime there are more than 130 guards who do their best to protect you and your valuables on the hope that we will meet next year too.
You have to wear a wrist band once you entered the festival site. There is no point in taking it off and sell it as it becomes useless. The guards have the right to check the bands within the fence any time they want.
There is a professional first aid service on the site. It is very rare that someone is needed to be taken to the hospital. If you need a medical treatment you can go to the medical base and they will help you to solve the problems. The first aid staff wears a white T-shirt with a HELP sign on it. They walk all around the festival site, you can ask help from them too. Please do not call 104 (ambulance) if there is any health problem, just use the first aid or medical services. The experts will decide whether to call an ambulance or not.
