The Need-to-Know Before You Go

COME RAIN AND/OR SHINE

The show will go on whatever the weather. Unless it’s looking extra gnarly. Check our socials for any changes.

PARKING & DOOR TIMES

Parking will generally open 2 hours prior to our scheduled gate time. Gate times vary, but are usually 1.5 hours before show time. We recommend arriving early to reduce the heavy traffic and wait times prior to the show. Our Lakeside Pre-Party begins 2 hours before doors open - come early and make it a full day of fun! Be prepared to wait entering and exiting the venue. Please be patient and follow the instructions given by police and staff. If you want easier entry and exit, go for Premier Parking or Ultra Premier Parking.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP AREAS

The drop off area is located in Gate 1. Let the parking staff know that you are dropping someone off and they will direct you. Drivers must leave after drop off and return 45 minutes prior to the end of the show. Please use the 15 North exit at Glen Helen Parkway as this is the only entrance point at the end of an event. Local law enforcement may shut down all incoming traffic and only allow traffic out of the venue at peak times. Festival drop off / pick up is usually moved to Gate 5. For taxis and ride shares, head to the Red Lot at Gate 1 for concerts and inside the Yellow Lot at Gate 6 for most festivals.
