First aid & security
Big crowds are no place to be if you’re under the influence of mind-altering substances of any kind, including alcohol. Please don’t be scared to ask festival staff or St John’s Ambulance officers for help. Please consider others as well as your own safety, especially in front of the stages. If someone falls down or is in distress please help them if you can, or let the Security know so we can help. Forget trying to sneak in: the Armory has permanent, high fencing. No stage diving, crowd surfing or moshing. Moshers risk being ejected from the festival grounds. In the extreme and unlikely circumstance that an area of the Armory may be required to be evacuated or cleared, it’s imperative you to follow all instructions from emergency services, police, the fire brigade and/or our security.

Bringing kids?
Children 15 and under get free entry into the festival with a paying parent or guardian – if you look like you might be 16, you’ll need to bring ID (a passport, birth certificate) to prove your age.
The Great Escape
|
It is with considerable regret that we are announcing the cancellation of this year’s Great Escape Festival. Unexpectedly low ticket sales have left festival organisers with no option but to cancel the event. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all those people that have made the festival such a success in previous years. We’d also like to whole heartedly apologies to the bands, artists, agents, managers, suppliers, sponsors, media supporters and festival goers that have been let down by our decision. We thank you in advance for your understanding. FOR TICKET REFUND & SIDESHOW INFO hit THE BLOG. |
