Most of the festival takes place on level ground and there are no steps at the entrances of the hangars (stages). There are paths with reinforced surfaces connecting all the different stages and areas. There is a wheelchair accessible chemical toilet at the backstage entrance, opposite the DuB Station, and a flushable toilet with wheelchair access in the sanitation area between the Tubebox hangar stage and the Luftschloss tent stage.

Please note: If you can present a valid "disability pass" – a written document stating your disability (in Germany there’s a special pass...) – the person accompanying you can come to the festival free of charge.

As always we will have barrier free camping this year. Everybody who needs to use them has the possibility now to camp together with their friends there. We will have paths with reinforced surfaces. We will provide a big tent with 5 cots for those who have problems with the transfer from the wheelchair to the ground level. Furthermore we will have fridge to store medicines and a power connection for CPAP machines or other needs. Our barrier free camping can be found in the map as B1 next to the "Konsum". Directly on the opposite side you can find barrier free showers and toilets. In order to be able to meet your demands, we ask you to register at barrierefrei(at)fusion-festival.de

It is inevitable, that in a situation in which tickets are so scarce and the demands are so high, a big black market develops in which some assholes try to make profit with the tickets.

We have set up General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) that prohibit resale for profit. The tickets are non-transferable, the guest's name is on them.
This puts us in a good legal and technical position to prevent overpriced resale. In our own ticket exchange, sellers and buyers find each other at fair prices.

If you are angry about the capitalist gamblers, you are welcome to tell them what you think. We count on you to intervene on your own initiative, to speak your mind and simply not play the game.

Don't fall for dubious offers - the only way to get a festival wristband is through the advance ticket sales or the ticket exchange on our website.

Fusion from 18 years old

Fusion from 18 means that people under 18 years of age are not allowed to enter the festival area, even if accompanied by their parents. Admission will only be granted to people who are on June 28, 2023 18 years or older.

However, there will be no age checks in 2023 at the entrances and accesses to the camping areas I1 to I4 (known as the "Insel" or formerly "Ruhe & Family Camping"). It would still be possible to bring children and young people here. Nonetheless, these camping areas are known to be fully occupied after only a few hours after the festival gates have opened. Anyone arriving with people under 18 after that will have to look for accommodation away from the festival grounds (campsites, holiday flats,...).

At all other festival entrances (vehicle or people), such as the footbridge, age checks will be carried out around the clock and only people over 18 will be allowed through.

The familiar children's space from previous years will no longer exist in this form. A scaled-down version of the Kidsarea is planned for the offspring of the crew and artists.

Kulturkosmos enabled many parents and their children to experience Fusion together and even organised a supporting programme for the younger generation until last year, even though it has been pointed out for years that this festival is not a suitable environment for children. A Fusion 2023 for all age groups, with the stricter requirements of the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), would mean a considerable additional effort at the check-ins, the bars, the ticketing, the securities and for the youth protection responsibles. This effort is sadly out of proportion to the unfortunate and upsetting refusal of those parents who wanted to bring their children.

We hope that all Fusion parents will be able to place their children in trustworthy care at the end of June. For those who cannot or do not wish to do so, we ask for your understanding.

Drones and other fliying camera shit are unwanted at Fusion Festival. Please leave them at home. In the past years a lot of other fusionists didn't tolerate them and let them disappear quickly from the sky quickly.

Although the open-air floors will still only ramp up from 6pm on Thursday, in 2023 the festival will again officially start at 6pm on Wednesday.

That’s when you’ll be treated to an exquisite line-up of concerts, theatre, circus shows, and music. There’ll be spaces for more mellow sounds, time for discussion, the chance to meet new and old friends, opportunities to chill, to barbeque, and to explore the festival site – an extensive but relaxed programme that allows everyone to gently drift into the Fusion cosmos.

However, it seems that the Wednesday start has led to some rumours that the festival doors and gates will be opened earlier this year.

This is not true!

The festival gates will open on Wednesday at 8am and the line-ups and programme will not start before 6pm.

We therefore urge you in the strongest possible terms not to arrive before Wednesday. If you do, it’ll result in no small amount of annoyance and chaos and will, ultimately, just cause delays for everyone arriving on Wednesday. It will not be possible to enter the festival site on Tuesday and you won’t find any parking or camping facilities outside the festival site then either. The first shuttle buses will leave Neustrelitz at 8am on Wednesday.

Partly because of poor organisation and planning, many of you had to endure massive waiting times when entering and leaving the festival last year. We have put a lot of thought and effort into making sure that that you’ll be able to get in and out a lot easier this year.

For all that to work, though, it’s really important that you pay attention to the new systems that we’ve put in place. All of this will be on the website from mid-June and in the festival guide as well. When you leave the festival site, please make sure you look at the information in the guide so that everyone leaving on Sunday can get away quickly.

Even though fireworks express joy – and we want nothing more than for you to have fun – fireworks are an absolute no-go during the festival! 

The constant use of fireworks in recent years has seriously pissed off a lot of people. Sillyness and incompetence have also led to a number of serious incidents and in a few cases people have been lucky not to be badly injured That means anyone caught selling bangers or rockets will be immediately thrown out. Anyone we catch using fireworks will get an unpleasant earful and be forced to spend a day cleaning the fire engines! Sky lanterns are also an absolute no-go on the festival: they are like flying matches and can cause serious wild forest fires.

Please do not make campfires. Charcoal barbecues are no problem.

Fusion festival is proud to be 100% free of advertising. 

This also applies to all those who narcissistically want to spray their tag in what is a public space. Stupidity, ignorance and people obsessed with their image and ego have caused huge damage in recent years and this has cost us an enormous amount of money! We and many other Fusionists find this incredibly frustrating and it has made us pretty angry. 

Think about it: Fusion festival offers a whole load of spaces for street art in its many creative forms. But other spaces, objects and equipment at the festival are off limits and must remain unchanged!

These graffiti and tag-free zones are marked with a crystal-clear pictogram. If you don't respect this rule, you will have to leave the festival and pay for the damage. In the recent years, this approach has shown that respect can be learned.

You enter the festival at your own risk and responsibility. Kulturkosmos e.V. and the Fusion Festival can not be held accountable for any material damage that may occur on the festival site, for example during an artist's show.

Fusion Festival thrives thanks to your imagination and creativity, and because of our common responsibility to each other and to nature. Acting responsibly means looking after yourself too. So please remember to bring a decent basic first aid kit (plasters, antiseptic cream, etc.), any medicines you take regularly, and don’t forget suncream and a sunhat!
The festival is in the middle of the countryside. There aren’t exactly a load of medical services on our doorstep and the next hospital is 25 km away. If you notice that you have a health issue before the festival, sort it out at home. Also, please don’t clog up our Red Cross tent with trifling issues like a lack of plasters or aspirin. Makes sure you bring those kinds of things with you for you and your friends!

Nazis, chauvinists and racists of all ilks are not welcome and should not gain access to the festival. To guarantee this, we ask you to stay alert. If you see anyone who clearly identifies themselves as having extreme right-wing or rascist views, please help us to immediately remove them from the festival. Inform the Fusion security crew immediately if you see any neo-Nazis or racists.

This year there will also be a party break on Friday, Saturday and Sunday noon. This gives us a chance to collect the rubbish from the dance floors, and everyone else the opportunity to chill out for a while. It also means the smaller stages get a bit more attention.

The chill-out breaks will be on Friday from 11 am to 2 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm and Sunday from 12am to 2pm.

You are welcome to take pictures at Fusion festival – if they’re for personal use. However, we don't appreciate people running around with a camera, thinking they can actually take their experiences back home on a microchip. And we can also easily do without the countless bad pictures and boring films that pop up on Flickr and YouTube shortly after the festival.

We would also like to ask that you use of your pictures responsibly. Please remember that you should respect and under no circumstances abuse another person’s rights regarding their own image.

Keep the good memories in your heart - not on a chip!

...can you find on the back of the Casinohangar. There you can get Shirts and Hoodies while stocks last - so just check out our Propaganda stall or just be creative! That's always nicer and more genuine anyway.

You can store everything that you would rather not leave in your tent in the Safe Area. You can also charge your camera and phone here. This is also Fusion’s lost & found. If you lose anything during the festival, you can contact the festival team afterwards at safe@fusion-festival.de 

You’ll find cold showers at the Shower Tower and in the Bachstelzen area.

There are warm showers, toilets and cultural entertainment available at the Waschsalon (behind the Luftschloss) and at the Oase (in the middle of the camping area) and in front of the Workshophangar.

Once again, there will be a shuttle service from Neustrelitz train station to the gates of Fusion. There are also buses that take you directly from cities all over Germany to the festival and back again. Check www.bassliner.org for more details.

Fusion has developed just fine through word of mouth and we do not need any extra propaganda on Fakebook, Insta (A gram of what?) or other so-called “social” networks. 

We don't need and don't want pages on these kinds of internet platforms. Anything that looks like Fusion was created by well-meaning fans – not by us. If you think we’re great, don’t "like" us.

Thor Steinar is a clothing brand that is produced and marketed by right wing activists using the symbols of the Nazi movement and which is worn mostly by fascists! Everybody buying and wearing these clothes directly supports neo-Nazis in spreading their ideas and symbols through society. WATCH OUT! These and similar clothes are not welcome at Fusion, and neither are the people wearing them.

Day tickets for Sunday are available from 8:00 a.m. at the "Botschaft" for €70 (including a €10 garbage deposit). As long as the contingent lasts, Sunday tickets can be purchased online via our Ticket Area for 60€ (incl. rubbish deposit). Everything else under Tickets.

Fusion Festival 2023 ist sold out. All information about you paid ticket you find at tickets

In order not to expose ourselves to the risk that many people cancel their tickets at short notice and we are then left holding the bag, we have activated a Ticket:Bourse from 5 May onwards where you can offer your ticket until 30 June, but also still get hold of tickets.

Since 2022, the use of all toilets is free of charge, whether Dixi, composting toilets, rocket toilets or WC Royal. There are several positions on the camping areas where a larger number of Dixis stand together. They are emptied three times a day. Our "WC royal", i.e. toilet containers with ceramic bowls and flushing water, are located at five different spots. These toilets are looked after and cleaned. There are new stations with composting toilets, which we are constantly expanding so that soon no one will need a Dixi any more. You are still welcome to make a small donation, as the groups in charge all work for projects worthy of support.

We booked the best festival weather. However, in case of an approaching thunderstormwe will interrupt the party. If we turn off the music and close party areas, we really mean it! The festival ground is not safein case of a big thunderstorm. In that case, leave the party ground and go to the camping area, to your tents and cars.

In case of heavy lightning the safest place to be is inside a car. Staying up on a hangar is a really badidea. Do not try to leave the camping area with your car, keep emergency routes free! Whenever the storm is over, we will turn up the music again and the party can go on.

Each ticket is sold with an additional EUR 10 trash deposit. When you arrive at the festival, you’ll be given a big plastic trash bag at the gate, along with your wristband and festival programme. If you return this bag full of trash before you leave, together with the trash deposit coupon (attached to your ticket), you will get the EUR 10 back. It’s not cool to steal other people’s trash!

You can fill your water containers and bottles with drinking water at the shower tower and at various drinking water stations around the festival area. The big dance floors will also have water bars giving out free drinking water.

Although the open-air floors will still only ramp up from 6pm on Thursday, the festival will again officially start at 6pm on Wednesday.

That’s when you’ll be treated to an exquisite line-up of concerts, theatre, circus shows, and music. There’ll be spaces for more mellow sounds, time for discussion, the chance to meet new and old friends, opportunities to chill, to barbecue, and to explore the festival site – an extensive but relaxed programme that allows everyone to gently drift into the Fusion cosmos.

However, it seems that the Wednesday start has led to some rumours that the festival doors and gates will be opened earlier this year.

This is not true!

Doors open: Wednesday 8am

The festival gates will open on Wednesday at 8am and the line-ups and programme will not start before 6pm.

We therefore urge you in the strongest possible terms not to arrive before Wednesday. If you do, it’ll result in no small amount of annoyance and chaos and will, ultimately, just cause delays for everyone arriving on Wednesday. It will not be possible to enter the festival site on Tuesday and you won’t find any parking or camping facilities outside the festival site then either. The first shuttle buses will leave Neustrelitz at 8am on Wednesday.

Groups who have rented their own coach for their journey must register their journey with us and then receive a pass which entitles them to transit to their own private bus area on our ZOB.
Please fill out the registration form here.

As last year, we recommend that you travel directly by bus instead of by train if possible. We expect the train connection from Berlin to Neustrelitz to be congested again this year. However, if you would like to travel by train, we recommend that you take trains as early as possible. The shuttle service Neustrelitz - Lärz starts at 7 AM.

From Berlin and Brandenburg, the Brandenburg ticket is the best choice: 5 people travel from 9 AM on all RE and IR trains of the Bahn and also on underground and S-Bahn trains in Berlin, for a total of EUR 33 (at the ticket machine). At weekends, it is also valid before 9 AM. The Brandenburg ticket is valid as far as Neustrelitz, although that is already in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

You can also travel by train from Hamburg. The journey can be made with the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ticket or the Schleswig-Holstein ticket.

For people travelling together by train from other parts of Germany, the Quer-durchs-Land ticket from DB may also be of interest.

...from here it goes on with the shuttle buses as usual:
Wednesday 7:00 AM - 11 PM
Thursday, Friday: 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM
Saturday, Sunday, Monday: 8:00AM - 9:00 PM
Thuedsay: 9:00AM - 2:00 PM
A single trip will cost 5€.

The shuttle buses are waiting for the last trains arriving in Neustrelitz from Berlin and Hamburg.
This year the shuttle buses in Neustrelitz depart from the "Rummelplatz" 5 Minute walk from the station and not on the station front square. A trip to the Fusion Festival without a valid festival ticket is not possible from Neustrelitz.

Between Neustrelitz and the festival there are also many taxis as an alternative to our shuttle buses. (EUR 35,- to EUR 50,- depending on negotiation skills and demand!)

When coming from Hamburg or Berlin on the A24, take the A19 towards Rostock. Then take the second exit (junction 18 at Röbel) and follow the B198 towards Neustrelitz.

After the small town of Vietzen, turn right onto the Lärz airfield.

Beware: there are two speed cameras on the B198!
