Camping Facilities Announced
Camping Details Venue Change
Due to increased demand, the INDIEPENDENCE campsite has moved to the Mitchelstown GAA grounds which is 400 yards from the festival site. This campsite will offer proper flushing toilets and hot showers! The site will open from 6pm on Friday July 31st and close at 3pm on Monday August 3rd. There will be free hot showers available from 9am to 1pm on each morning.
To get to the site, you take the Limerick road out of Mitchelstown for 300 yards and the main gate is on your left hand side. You will be able to park in the car park here.
You will be able to collect your wrist bands at the gate.
Anyone with a €59 ticket can camp for free. Anyone with a €39 ticket can upgrade for €20.
Its been a while coming to fruition but the INDIEPENDENCE Music & Arts Festival has finally been given the green light for an official festival campsite at O'Connell Park, Mitchelstown. This means that festival goers heading along to see headliners Ocean Colour Scene and The Super Furry Animals along with top Irish acts, The Blizzards, Mundy, Fight Like Apes, The Frank & Walters, Director, Delorentos, Fish Go Deep, Wallis Bird, The Chapters and over 50 more top acts and DJ's will now be able to stay on site for the weekend and enjoy the full festival experience!
But here's the best bit, festival organisers in these recessionary times have decided not to charge any extra for the campsite! Anybody with a €59 weekend ticket purchased from ticketmaster even where these tickets state "weekend non-camping" will be given access to the campsite. The site is adjacent to the festival arena and car parking facilities are less than 5 minutes walk away.
The Festival which is sponsored by Bavaria, offers three stages with 10 hours of music on site each day. On top of that, the entire town of Mitchelstown is turned into a festival centre with 2am extensions in all bars and live music and DJ's on offer into the early hours.
All €59 weekend tickets purchased from Ticketmaster will allow access to the campsite. Any festival goers who bought €39 day or special offer early bird tickets will be able to access the campsite by paying a supplement on arrival at the site.
The site will open at 6pm on Friday July 31st and close at 6pm on Monday August 3rd
