FAQ's
Is Yardland 2026 an all-ages event?
Yes, Yardland is open to all ages, though it is primarily targeted at young adults. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and everyone must have a valid ticket. Be aware that the volume can be high, so hearing protection is highly recommended for younger attendees.
What items are prohibited at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes?
Strict security prevents entry with glass bottles, large umbrellas, alcohol, or professional recording equipment without a permit. Bikes and scooters must be left at the designated parking areas outside the main festival gates. Small bags are allowed but will be searched at the entrance; large suitcases should be left at your hotel.
Can I leave the festival and come back later the same day?
Typically, for security reasons, any exit from the festival grounds is final for that day. Check the 2026 wristband policy at the entrance, as some VIP or multi-day passes may allow for specific re-entry windows. We recommend bringing everything you need for the day (sunscreen, power banks, etc.) to avoid any issues.
How do I pay for food and drinks inside Yardland?
The festival operates on a Cashless system. You pay using your festival wristband or a dedicated card provided on-site. You can top up your balance using a credit card or cash at the "Banque" stations, or often via the festival app before you arrive. Unused credits can usually be refunded online for a short period after the festival ends.
Are there lockers available for personal belongings?
Yes, a limited number of lockers are usually available for rent near the main entrance. These are perfect for storing jackets or small purchases from the marketplace. They are high in demand, so try to arrive early if you know you will need one.
