We want as many music fans as possible to be able to attend our festival. Therefore, we make every effort to ensure that our guests with disabilities can also enjoy a relaxed and unforgettable festival experience. In the long term, we aim to make our festival better and more accessible year after year. We are always very happy to receive ideas and suggestions at barrierefrei@highfield.de.

If attending our festivals without assistance is not possible for you, Freizeit ohne Barrieren e.V. provides trained companions. You can take them to the festival free of charge with your special mark "B", "H" or "BI". You can find all further information here.

Arrival by Car
Please come directly to the check-in at the Backstage Check-In at Pösna Park, Sepp-Verscht-Str. 1, Großpösna.

If you wish to arrive by car, you have the option to park at the "Special Needs Camp" and camp right next to your car. This option is also available for day guests or people who are not staying overnight on the site. Please note that only one vehicle per group is allowed.

To use this service, please fill out our registration form under the section "Registration".

If you are being dropped off by car, please contact us so we can provide you with an alternative to the general drop-off and pick-up parking area.

Arrival by Train
Leipzig station offers step-free access to the platforms, tactile guidance systems, loudspeaker systems, and digital train displays. Use our festival shuttle from Leipzig station to the festival site. Check-in takes place at the counter at the East Ticket/Wristband Tent.

Shuttle from Leipzig Station to the Festival Site
We have arranged a bus shuttle from Leipzig station to the festival site for you. Some of the vehicles used are accessible via a ramp. If a bus does not have a ramp, the next one will arrive shortly.
If you arrive at the festival site by shuttle bus and are unsure how to cover the 1.8 km to the Special Needs Camp, we have set up a transport service for you in cooperation with the German Red Cross (DRK). To use this service, please fill out the following form: Highfield 2026 Shuttle Special Needs Camp
Further general information about arrival can be found HERE.

For the Highfield Festival, you need a regular festival pass plus, if applicable, a Regular Camping Pass or Green Living pass, which you can easily purchase through our ticket shop. If you also want to stay at our Special Needs Camp, you will need a REGULAR Camping Pass and please also complete the registration form.
 
If you have a "B", "H" or "Bl" entry in your disability ID card, you are allowed to bring one companion free of charge to the festival – this person does not need their own festival pass.

To provide you with the most enjoyable festival experience possible, we want to ensure that there is enough space in the Special Needs Camp and sufficient sanitary facilities.
Therefore, registration is mandatory to use the Special Needs Camp.

You can find the registrations for the Special Needs Camp here. Registrations close two weeks before the event starts. Late registration is not possible. Please note that registrations may also close earlier once the camp is full.

Please note that you can only use the camp, both for camping and parking, if you have registered with us beforehand.

You have registered yourself and your friends for the Special Needs Camp? Then all of you should come together to one of our counters. There you will receive your festival wristbands, the car pass, and further information.

Note: You and your friends all need your own festival pass and your own REGULAR camping pass – with the exception of the free accompanying person.

If you are arriving by car, please come to our Backstage Check-In at Pösna-Park in Großpösna. The check-in is accessible via paved paths without steps. There are parking spaces on site.

If you arrive by shuttle bus, we recommend the counter at Kasse / Bänder Süd. This is not accessible by car and is located on a field.

You will receive detailed information about the exact location of the counters and how to reach them a few days before the festival via email once you have registered.

If you do NOT want to stay overnight or park at the Special Needs Camp but are bringing a free accompanying person, you can come to any of our entry points and receive your festival wristbands there. Just bring your ticket and your disability ID. Please note that we can only check in your accompanying person together with you if you arrive together.

If you have any questions about tickets, entry, or visiting the Highfield Festival, please feel free to contact us by email at barrierefrei@highfield.de or by phone via our hotline: +49 40 743059 46 (Mon – Fri 10:00 – 12:00 & 13:00 – 15:00)

To make the festival experience as comfortable as possible for our guests with disabilities, we have established the "Special Needs Camp". To use this service, it is necessary to complete our registration form under the "Registration" section. You can bring up to three additional friends with a valid festival pass and REGULAR camping pass to the "Special Needs Camp" alongside your companion. This means a total group size of up to five people is allowed. To charge your medical and electronic aids, there is also a power connection at the "Special Needs Camp". The nearest socket may be somewhat further away, so please bring an outdoor-suitable extension cable (50 m) for this purpose.* Please note that the "Special Needs Camp" is explicitly a voluntary service for our guests with disabilities.

Of course, you are welcome to camp in the regular areas. However, please note that there is only limited disability-accessible sanitary provision and no power connections in these areas. The distances can also be quite long.

*Please note that we only provide electricity (240 volts) up to the distribution point, which may be up to 50 m away from your tent location. Usage is strictly permitted for charging medically necessary devices only. For safety reasons, we must limit the maximum power of each socket to 1,000 watts. The electricity is generated locally and is therefore susceptible to disruptions and voltage fluctuations. We accept no liability for the use of the power source or for any damage to devices caused by voltage fluctuations or outages. We reserve the right to interrupt the power supply temporarily for safety reasons during extreme weather conditions.

Our Platinum & Gold Lounge extends over two floors, which are connected by a staircase. There is no step-free access.

This area is partially covered with wood chips.
There are no accessible restroom facilities in this area.

The Highfield takes place outdoors on meadows and fields. The site may be sandy, muddy, or stony in some places.
 

On the event site (infield), cable bridges are laid in some areas. We endeavour to lay flatter cable bridges on the main paths to make your way more comfortable, but this is not possible everywhere on the site. However, there is usually always an alternative route to avoid cable bridges.
 

The Beach Stage is located on a sandy beach. There is a paved road from the camping area to the sandy edge of the beach, from where it is about 50 m through the sand directly to the stage.

In front of the Green and Blue Stages, you will find a platform on the left side of each stage (facing the stage) for wheelchair users and people with dwarfism, allowing for a maximum of one accompanying person. The platform is accessible via a ramp. Access to the platforms is limited to ensure that only those who truly need them can use them. If you require access to the platforms, please indicate this when registering for the Special Needs Camp or contact our service team. Near the platforms, you will also find wheelchair-accessible portable toilets for our Special Needs Camp guests, regardless of the type of disability.

At the "Special Needs Camp" you will find an accessible sanitary station. It features a step-free entrance, a spacious flush toilet, and a low-barrier shower. These low-barrier shower/toilet combinations are equipped with a Euro lock. So remember to bring your Euro key.

At the regular campsites, you will find a wheelchair-accessible mobile toilet at each sanitary camp. On the infield, the wheelchair-accessible mobile toilets are located on the platforms in front of the Green and Blue Stages. These mobile toilets are wheelchair accessible at ground level and slightly larger in size to allow for transfer to/from the wheelchair.

You can easily bring your medication with you to the festival. A medical certificate confirming the necessity ensures that you can bring prescription medication onto the festival and event grounds.
Medication that needs to be kept refrigerated can be handed over to the medical staff in the first aid tents. Your medication will be stored safely there for you.

It is possible that strobe and light effects are used in the shows, which can cause epileptic seizures in some people.

Our security team is here to assist you with advice and support. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable or need help, please feel free to approach our staff, who can be recognised by their red vests. Additionally, paramedics are on site and can assist you at any time. In a medical emergency, call 112 – if you do not have a mobile phone, ask someone else to make the emergency call or speak to a member of the security team. If you feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed, you can also ask our staff for "Panama" at any time or contact our Panama guides directly.

To protect your pet and other visitors, assistance dogs are unfortunately not permitted.
