FAQ's
Is there an official camping site for Mystic Festival 2026?
For the 2026 edition, the organizers have confirmed that there will be no "Mystic Camp" directly on the festival grounds. Attendees are encouraged to use the wide variety of hotels, hostels, and private apartments available in the Gdańsk city center. There are several public campgrounds in the nearby Stogi and Sobieszewo districts for those who still prefer to stay in a tent.
How do I pay for food and merchandise at the festival?
Mystic Festival is a cashless event, meaning all vendors accept major credit and debit cards as well as mobile payments. You can also top up a dedicated festival card at special points throughout the shipyard if you prefer not to use your personal card. This system ensures faster service at the bars and merchandise stands so you don't miss any of the performances.
What is the "Shrine Stage" and how is it different from the Main Stage?
The Shrine Stage is one of the festival's most popular indoor venues, located inside one of the shipyard's massive industrial halls. It focuses on atmospheric, doom, and black metal acts, utilizing the hall's natural reverb and dark interior to enhance the performance. Because it is indoors, capacity can be limited for major acts, so arriving early for popular bands on this stage is highly recommended.
Are there any age restrictions for children attending the festival?
Mystic Festival is an all-ages event, but children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a legal guardian at all times. Organizers strongly advise that all minors wear professional hearing protection, which can sometimes be purchased at the info point. Parents should be aware that the festival environment is loud and features intense visuals that may not be suitable for very young children.
What items are prohibited inside the Gdańsk Shipyard grounds?
Prohibited items include professional cameras, umbrellas with sharp tips, glass containers, and any objects that could be considered weapons. Small backpacks are allowed but will be subjected to a security search at the entrance to ensure the safety of all attendees. You are permitted to bring one factory-sealed plastic bottle of water (up to 0.5L) to stay hydrated during the warm afternoon hours.
