We will do our best to accommodate preferred shift requests, but this cannot be guaranteed. Volunteers will not be rostered for consecutive shifts or the same shift times over the weekend. Shifts may be changed at short notice, and volunteers may be asked to assist in other areas if required.

Volunteers receive a wristband giving full festival access, a volunteer t-shirt, and access to the volunteer camping area. A thank-you evening will be held after the event.
