FAQ's
How can I get to the festival using public transport from Linz?
You can take the Postbus (Line 250/251) from Linz Main Station to the stop "Neußerling Ortsmitte." From there, a free shuttle bus provided by the festival will take you the short remaining distance to the Noppenhof. Additionally, the "Noppenbus" provides a direct late-night shuttle service back to Linz Main Station for a small fee of $5.
What is the "Camping with Deposit" system?
To keep the farm clean, the festival requires a refundable deposit for camping plots ($55 for tents, $110 for caravans). If you follow the camping rules and leave your designated plot clean and free of trash, the full amount is refunded to you. This system has been very successful in maintaining the beauty of the Noppenhof fields over the years.
Is food and drink available at the farm?
Yes, the festival offers a wide range of catering, including traditional grilled specialties and the famous "NoppenMilch" beverage. The volunteer fire department manages much of the catering, ensuring high-quality food and a very friendly service. Please note that outside food and drinks are allowed in the camping area but cannot be taken into the main concert grounds.
What should I wear for a festival in late April?
The weather in Upper Austria in April can be quite unpredictable, with cold nights and a possibility of rain. It is highly recommended to bring sturdy, waterproof boots (as it is a farm) and plenty of warm layers for the evening shows. Checking the weather forecast a few days before arrival is essential for packing appropriately for the "Mühlviertel" climate.
Are there age restrictions for Noppen Air?
Noppen Air is an all-ages event during the day, though children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. For late-night events and entry into bars like the Irish Pub or Reggae Bar, standard Austrian youth protection laws apply. Identification may be checked at the entrance to ensure all guests are complying with local age regulations for alcohol.
