FAQ's
What is the minimum age to attend Electric Love Festival?
The minimum age for entry is 16 years old, and anyone under this age will not be admitted even with a guardian. All guests must bring a valid government-issued photo ID to prove their age at the entrance and at the bars. Alcohol service is strictly regulated according to Austrian law, with different wristbands often used to distinguish age groups.
How does the festival payment system work?
Electric Love is a 100 percent cashless festival, meaning all food, drinks, and merch are paid for using a chip on your wristband. You can top up your balance at "Cash Points" around the venue with cash or card, or use the online top-up feature. Unused credits can be refunded to your bank account after the festival by following the instructions on the official website.
Are there different camping options available on-site?
The festival offers several levels of camping ranging from Basic Camping to the "Comfort Camping" area which includes pre-pitched tents. For those looking for a premium experience, the Residence offers glamping lodges with beds, electricity, and private sanitary facilities. All camping tickets must be purchased separately from the festival admission ticket and usually sell out several months in advance.
What should I do if it rains during the event?
The festival takes place in the mountains, so the weather can change quickly and the event will continue rain or shine. It is highly recommended to bring sturdy footwear and a waterproof poncho, as umbrellas are not permitted in the stage areas. Some stages like the Club Circus are housed in large tents, providing a dry place to dance if the weather turns.
Is there a way to visit the nearby lakes during the festival?
Yes, the festival provides a dedicated shuttle service to the "Organics Beach" at Lake Fuschl for a small fee or included in some tickets. This allows guests to enjoy a swim and some relaxation in the famous Austrian alpine waters during the daytime. Shuttles run regularly from the camping area and the main entrance during the afternoon hours before the main acts start.
