Do you have questions about volunteering at the Detect Classic Festival? Then you will find the answers here.
We have five areas of responsibility for helpers:
Guards: You help our guests to find their way to the parking lot and the camping sites, support us at the entrance or control access to important areas of the festival.
Environmental Guardians: You make sure that the festival site is always nice and clean.
Kitchen Crew: You support our caterer in providing our artists and crew with delicious meals during the festival.
Setup/Dismantling: You support us before and/or after the festival in setting up/dismantling the finizio toilets and other festival infrastructure.
Awareness: Support our awareness team in making the structures at the festival safer and more inclusive and in creating spaces where people can be sure that they will be listened to and treated in a trustworthy way.
Every volunteer will work two shifts of 4–5 hours each during the festival. In return, you will receive a full refund of the ticket price. You must purchase a standard festival ticket (€170.00); the refund will only be issued once you have completed both shifts. Snacks and drinks will be provided during your shift.
Different conditions apply to awareness staff. You can find out more about this in a personal conversation with the awareness team lead.
If possible, please be available for shifts between Thursday 6 August and Monday 10 August. There will be a briefing on Friday for everyone working during the festival.
You can apply to be a volunteer using a form that we will be publishing shortly.
Yes, you have to buy a regular festival ticket (€170.00) to volunteer at our festival. We will refund you the ticket price when you have completed your two shifts. This is how we ensure that volunteers reliably show up for their shifts.
Different conditions apply to awareness persons. You will find out more in a personal conversation with the awareness management.
