Frequently Asked Questions

Great question! Yes, you’re welcome to bring friends or even a group of friends to the festival. This year, we’ve expanded the allowance, so feel free to bring more people along. However, if you plan to bring more than 5 guests per person, we kindly ask that you contact us beforehand. This is to ensure we can accommodate everyone without exceeding our festival capacity. Remember, every attendee must have a ticket, so be sure to secure tickets for each of your friends as well.

We’re committed to making the festival an incredible experience for all attendees. Should you wish to bring a large group, reaching out to us will help us make the necessary arrangements. We’re here to assist and ensure everyone has a memorable time.

At the Backyard Skull Festival, we firmly believe that music and community should be inclusive, accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints. That’s why we’ve chosen not to set fixed ticket prices for our event. Instead, we suggest a donation of 20 Euros per ticket, though any amount you can contribute is deeply appreciated. Your donation, whether big or small, helps us continue to curate unforgettable musical experiences for our festival community. Join us in this incredible journey, where every contribution ensures the beat goes on. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community!
