Preparing for Southside Festival: Your Ultimate Guide to Rocking Neuhausen ob Eck
Guide for Endurance Party Event at 'Southside' - Checklist for the non-stop partyathon on the Southern side:
Get ready for an unforgettable party experience! Around 65,000 music enthusiasts are flocking to the "Southside" Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck (district of Tuttlingen) from June 20th. Green Day, Apache 207, and Zartmann are set to light up the stage. Here's what you need to know to make the most of it.
What's the Cost?
Although the festival wasn't immediately sold out, you can still grab a day pass without camping for 129 euros close to the start. A regular festival ticket, including access to all stages, the campsite, and the festival atmosphere, will set you back around 289 euros this year.
If you prefer a tranquil camping environment, the "Green Living" festival pass is for you. With emphasis on consideration, you can enjoy this top camping rule for an additional charge. Don't forget a 15 euro parking fee for your car. Separate parking spaces for campers, vans, or buses will incur their respective fees.
How to Get There?
No driving? No worries! You can take the train to Tuttlingen with shuttle buses running approximate every 15 minutes to the site, as per festival information. Prefer a bus? Book a direct service from Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg, Munich, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Tübingen to Neuhausen ob Eck, including luggage. Drivers should input "take-off GewerbePark, 78579 Neuhausen ob Eck" in their navigation and follow official signs. Expect more travel time, particularly on arrival and departure days, due to traffic.
Pack Your Bags!
Festival packing is an art – here's your quick survival guide: Don't forget your ticket, ID, cash, and dancing shoes! Weather-resistant gear, such as wellies, rain capes, and sunglasses, will keep you cozy, while a good tent, sleeping bag, and mat ensure a comfortable rest. A power bank for your phone is essential, as are sunscreen, water, hygiene items, and earplugs to catch some rest amidst the night's revelry.
Crafty campers should also pack Gaffa tape, cable ties, and a small curtain lock for minor repairs and securing gear. A tow rope for your car is useful, especially on muddy roads.
What’s Banned on-site?
Just like any large event, there are clear rules about what's allowed and what's not at "Southside." Check the festival's official website to familiarize yourself with the complete list.
For example, glass containers are absolutely off-limits, along with bags larger than DIN A4, bulky furniture, pets, and drones.
What's New This Year?
In 2025, the organizers will introduce a cashless payment system, meaning you won't be able to pay with cash on the festival site. All festival wristbands will be equipped with a chip, which you'll need to load in advance via the event portal. An emergency charging station will be located near the Ferris wheel. Any remaining credit will be refunded after the festival.
With the new cannabis regulations, you can bring cannabis with you this year: consumption is allowed under certain conditions but not near minors.
Law Enforcement, Medical, and Fire Services will be available 24/7, as per festival information. "The Southside Festival is a very peaceful and friendly event – we hope it will continue to run smoothly this year," said a police spokesperson in Konstanz. The police will maintain "adequate" forces.
Who's Here to Help in an Emergency?
Stewards will be on hand, ready to assist you around the clock. In case of medical emergencies, the medical service will be present with several hundred helpers and mobile stations. If the weather changes, announcements made via loudspeakers will inform you about safety measures.
Generally, if there's a storm, abandon your tent and seek shelter in your car, which will provide better protection.
When in Doubt:
Using the codeword "Panama" will alert the crew that you need discreet help and support in a tricky situation.

The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation, as the festival-goers prepare for Southside Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck, where they will be exposed to various risks associated with a lively music event. After the festivities, one might wish to unwind with a soothing cup of tea or indulge in some fashionable clothing, lifestyle trends, or delectable food and drinks to complement their home and garden settings.
