Please email us a detailed plan of what kind of coverage you can do on FEST 23 before even emailing us your request. If you help us, we help you.

This year we will not be granting photo access to stage or pit. If you would like closer photos please email our photo team leader at thefestphoto@gmail.com and they will work with you on getting you photos from our massive photo team to use.
