While acts are performing at the top of the hill, the next Main Stage act is doing sound checks. Unfortunately, for this reason, we can’t play those acts on the Jumbotrons as that would constantly interrupt viewing.
There are a couple different ways to get your hands on a M&G – win them from the radio stations on-site in Radio Row (next to the Main Stage) or from staff randomly gifting them throughout the grounds. We do not sell M&Gs.

All good! Before the festival, give your clinic a ring and request a doctor’s note on company letterhead that acknowledges the use of the machine.
After you get settled at your campsite, visit the security building located near The Dark Side Campground Showers + Convenience Store. Your medical note will be recorded and you’ll be given a band for the generator signifying you’re OK to have it running.
You might consider giving your neighbors a friendly heads up that it will be running to avoid any potential issues. We also recommend leaving a sign on your generator and/or on your camper door, noting the generator is running for medical purposes.
FOR THE SAFETY OF YOU + OTHERS: Place the generator on a stable and level surface at least 20 feet from doors, windows, vents or tents to avoid risking carbon monoxide poisoning. Place the generator on a surface that will dampen the noise (rather than increase it) – setting on grass works perfectly well, while setting on hard surfaces increases the noise).
