P.S:O:A - F.A.Q.
Toilets / Showers / Supply
There will be sufficient free mobile and water toilets available. These are located on the campsite and in the festival infield area. The toilets will be cleaned several times a day during the festival to ensure maximum cleanliness for our guests. As last year, there will be two sanitary facilities with flush toilets and showers. These are also clearly visible and marked by flags on the camping areas. The flat-rate ticket for the use of the toilets and showers will also be available in 2025. You can purchase this ticket directly at the service points.
Water taps and hand washing facilities will of course be available on the camping site near the service points.
Between the festival entrance (gate entrance) and the backstage entrance there will be a beer garden in addition to the well-known breakfast tent, which will be open from Wednesday evening. The party tent will be open from Wednesday, 06.08.2025, 20:00 and offers our guests the obligatory welcome party as well as selected stands (food & drinks). From Thursday, 07.08.2025 to ###FESTIVALCAMPUNTIL###, the area will be opened and closed again according to the advertised opening times (current times will be announced in the handout, which we will hand out to each guest after arrival). The party tent will be used for the daily after-show party after Infields closes and will only close in the early hours of the morning (see handout for times).
Catering / Prices
Drinks and food will be available from Wednesday evening at 8:00 pm until Sunday morning at 11:00 am. We take great care to only accept suppliers whose products are of high quality. The supply partners are instructed to offer you food and drinks at a fair price. Water may be brought onto the infield in unopened Tetra-Paks or PET bottles with a maximum capacity of one liter (one bottle per person). Drinks for personal consumption are generally permitted on the campsite! Please remember that glass is prohibited on the entire festival site.
The Party.San Metal Open Air crew will again be responsible for serving drinks in the infield in 2025.

The times during which you can stay on the festival site are then as follows: up to 16 years until midnight / from 16 years until your parent or guardian prohibits you from staying.
The serving of alcoholic beverages to children and young people is subject to JuSchG § 9.
Children and young people up to the age of 14 are admitted free of charge if accompanied by a parent or guardian. This means that those who are 14 years old must pay.

Visitors with disabilities / wheelchair users
We are always striving to improve the service for our festival visitors with disabilities and to make the festival as pleasant and above all barrier-free as possible! For wheelchair users we have marked out an area in front of the stage where people with walking disabilities or wheelchair users can position themselves safely. There are 3 barrier-free toilets on the festival site. If you have any questions on site, you can contact the bar or security staff at any time. Please write to us at info@party-san.de if you have any questions about the regulations. Together we will find a solution.

Tiere
Das Mitbringen von Haustieren (im speziellen Hunden) ist verboten!
Bild und Tonaufnahmen

Diebstahl
Solltet ihr einem Diebstahl zum Opfer fallen, dann wendet euch in bitte direkt an unsere Security, deren Hauptbüro auf dem Geländeplan vermerkt ist. Achtet bitte darauf, dass eure Wertsachen sicher verstaut sind! Wir haben selten Fälle von Diebstahl zu beklagen, wollen euch für dieses Thema dennoch sensibilisieren. Lasst bitte keine Wertgegenstände oder Autoschlüssel in euren Zelten liegen und achtet darauf, dass eure Autos verschlossen sind, wenn ihr den Campingplatz verlasst. Scheut euch also nicht unsere freundliche Security anzusprechen, falls ihr etwas Verdächtiges beobachtet.
Objects brought along
Weapons, fireworks & articles made of glass are absolutely forbidden. Our security is required to randomly check all arriving persons and vehicles. Please spare us and yourselves unpleasant situations and leave such items at home. In the event of serious violations, you may be banned from the site.
GAS BOTTLES: Gas bottles are not prohibited at the Party.San Metal Open Air. In individual cases, however, the security staff may confiscate gas cylinders due to their excessive size. These will be returned to their owners at the end of the event.

Hygiene instructions / pathogens / volume Party.San Metal Open Air
The visitor is aware that there is a particular volume at the concert, especially in front of the stage, and that there is a risk of possible damage to health, especially hearing damage. The organizer will ensure that visitors are not harmed by the sound level of the performances by providing suitable technical equipment, limiting the volume and selecting individual venues. Irrespective of this, however, it is strongly recommended to use suitable hearing protection, especially when standing near the loudspeakers, and to choose a place in front of the stage that is conducive to individual hearing habits.
The regular hygiene recommendations such as daily personal hygiene and regular hand washing apply.
From an official point of view, we have no warnings regarding acute infectious diseases. Should there be any changes, we will inform you via our social networks.
Otherwise, please use your common sense and take care of your fellow human beings.
Arrival by car or train
The festival site is about 20 km away from the highway junctions A38 (exit 10) - Sondershausen coming from the east and A38 (exit 6) - Leinefelde coming from the west.
From the south / southwest A71 (exit 4) - Erfurt Gispersleben - B4 to Andisleben - L1042 to Bad Langensalza - B84 to the Schlotheim junction.
Traveling by train is no problem. Mühlhausen has a direct connection to Göttingen and Erfurt. The approx. 15 km route from Mühlhausen to Schlotheim / Obermehler is served by the Party.San shuttle bus and a public intercity bus every hour. The exact times of the Party.San shuttle bus will be announced on the website in good time. However, it is already foreseeable that it will stop daily at around 18:00 and / or will take the hotel sleepers to Mühlhausen once again at night.
Litter
As Party.San takes place on an airfield, even more attention must be paid to the tidiness and cleanliness of the areas during the stay and separately on departure.
We have undertaken to hand over the camping areas to the owner 2 days after the festival in a clean condition. It is therefore necessary to charge a fee for parking and waste disposal. This will be €15.00 for cars and €25.00 for caravans / coaches or vehicles with trailers. Garbage bags will be handed out free of charge. If you hand in a well-filled garbage bag, you will receive a Party.San Metal Open Air annual calendar at the garbage collection point as a small bonus. We hope for your understanding and would like to thank everyone who leaves their site clean.
Camping / Parking
The campsite is open from Wednesday, 06.08.2025, 10:00 am. The campsite is located directly next to the festival area and consists of mainly paved/drained & flat meadow.
The following is prohibited on both the campground and the infield:
- Building campfires.
- Digging holes, e.g. for storing drinks etc.
- Entering the airfield outside the areas provided.
- Wilfully damaging guidance equipment or other property of the airfield operator or the organizer.
- Climbing over and/or damaging fences/gates and all other safety installations.
- The installation of private power generators.
The entire site may be driven on at a maximum speed of 20 km/h.
The fee for parking will be €15.00 for cars and €25.00 for caravans / coaches or vehicles with trailers. Please have cash ready!
Price increases, as in previous years, can sometimes be attributed to the recurring damage caused by our guests. Should damage occur for which we are held liable, we will have to pass the costs on to the prices in future years. The Party.San Metal Open Air tries to offer the metal community a fair alternative, but we need your support and attention!
Your vehicle can be parked directly next to the tent. Without a valid ticket and the corresponding parking vignette, it is not permitted to enter or drive on the entire festival site, including all tent areas.
Parking is only permitted in the authorized areas and after instruction.
My Tent Is Already Pitched
If you don't have your own tent or don't feel like lugging it around and setting it up, mein-zelt-steht-schon is the right place for you. Here you not only hire tents and accessories, but also get them pitched. With the help of this external provider, you can simply arrive at the Party.San Metal Open Air, move in straight away and start partying!
Unwetter & Sturm
Alle Maßnahmen, die in Bezug auf Unwetter und Sturm ergriffen werden, dienen eurer Sicherheit! Wir werden euch im Falle eines Gewitters auf jeden Fall rechtzeitig informieren. Sichert Eure Zelte und Pavillons von Anfang an entsprechend. Im Falle eines Unwetters bzw. Gewitters seid ihr in euren Fahrzeugen am sichersten. Schaltet bitte eure Warnblinker an, wenn ihr noch Platz für Schutzsuchende habt. Helft euch gegenseitig und achtet aufeinander. Beachtet und befolgt bitte die Durchsagen und die Anweisungen der Security und des Personals! Speziell im Fall von schlechtem Wetter oder Unwetter behalten wir uns vor, die Zufahrts- und Parkabwicklung nach bestem Ermessen zu verändern. Im Falle einer nötigen Räumung des Infields bitten wir euch dringend, den Weisungen des Personals und der Einsatzkräfte Folge zu leisten. Bitte achtet auch auf die Durchsagen über die PA, sowie die Lautsprecherdurchsagen der Polizei. Bewahrt im Falle einer Räumung Ruhe und begebt euch schnellstmöglich in eure Fahrzeuge. Im unwahrscheinlichen Fall einer Evakuierung muss das gesamte Gelände (also inklusive Campinggelände) geräumt werden. Bitte folgt hierbei ebenfalls den Weisungen des Personals und der Einsatzkräfte und achtet auf die Durchsagen.

Richtlinien zu reservierten Flächen "Green Camping"
In der GREEN CAMPING AREA bzw. in den reservierten Camping-Arealen gelten einige besondere Campingregeln, die alle Besucher einhalten sollten, die in diesem Bereich campen möchten.
Die Sauberkeit des Camping-Areals liegt uns sehr am Herzen, daher fordern wir die Nutzer der reservierten Flächen auf, unnötige Campingutensilien und Verpackungen gleich zuhause zu lassen und euren Zeltplatz während des Festivals weitestgehend sauber zu halten.
Zur Erleichterung der Abfallentsorgung werden in der Area an verschiedenen Punkten Sammelgefäße für Müll aufgestellt, die täglich, bei Bedarf auch mehrmals, entleert werden. Jeder Besucher erklärt sich bereit, die von ihm aufgestellten Zelte und Pavillons nach der Veranstaltung auch wieder mit nach Hause zu nehmen oder selbst in den vor Ort bereitgestellten Müllsammeltonnen zu entsorgen. Ihr stimmt außerdem zu, am Abreisetag euren Restmüll vollständig an der Müllannahmestation abzugeben oder in den bereitgestellten Abfallbehältern zu entsorgen.
Es dürfen Zelte und Pavillons aufgebaut werden, aber keine sonstigen Bauten. Campingstühle und -tische sind, im Gegensatz zu großen Möbel wie Sesseln, Sofas, Betten und Kühlschränke, natürlich zulässig.
Das Mitbringen und der Betrieb von Stromaggregaten ist wie auf allen anderen Flächen untersagt. In der Zeit von 02:00 Uhr - 08:00 Uhr bitten wir, die Nachtruhe der Campingnachbarn zu respektieren. Das heißt nicht, dass auf den reservierten Flächen keine Musik gehört werden darf, sondern dass diese auf Wunsch der Nachbarschaft auf ein erträgliches Maß reduziert werden muss.
Kommt es bei einzelnen Gruppen zu Verletzungen der Richtlinie, führt dies zum dauerhaften Ausschluss aus den Reservierungsmöglichkeiten.
Caravan or Motorhome-ticket (limitied to 50 pieces)
With the purchase of the Party.San Metal Open Air-WoMo-Ticket you receive the possibility to temporarily set up a caravan or mobile home at the Party.San Metal Open Air 2025 in the period from ###FESTIVALDROM### - 09.08.2025.
The area cannot be extended and is marked by the organizer. Instructions will be given by the parking lot attendants upon arrival. These provided areas have a power connection (230V Schuko / max. 30m away from the pitch - it is not possible to rent power cables), a water withdrawal point for filling internal water tanks and a waste water emptying point at a central supply and disposal point. No waste water may be disposed of illegally. A caravan is a vehicle or caravan with a permanently installed power connection or a total weight of more than 2.8 tons with an awning or a small tent (max. 2 persons). The operation of gas systems is only permitted with a current gas test in accordance with the generally applicable guidelines.
Please note that the motorhome site may only be used by motorhomes or caravans. It is not possible to camp freely on the motorhome area! The use of the WoMo area is subject to the Green Camping guidelines (see above).
The purchase of the WoMo ticket exempts you from purchasing a parking sticker at the box office.
Attention: Sticker vignettes will be issued on site at the festival!
