St. Pölten prepares for the Frequency Festival with around 50,000 visitors daily

For local residents, the city has set up a dedicated email address. At anrainer@musicnet.at, tips, complaints, and information about the festival can be sent directly to the organizers. This is intended to facilitate communication between residents, the city, and the festival team during the event days.

Safety and Traffic

Sebastian Frank, the festival's organizer, emphasized in advance that the security concept is being closely coordinated with police and emergency services. In addition to entry checks, mobile medical teams are deployed. Public transportation has also been expanded to handle the crowds.

The police announced increased checks of traffic signs around the festival site. Both festival guests and residents who tamper with or remove signs will be reported to the police without exception. This is intended to ensure signage and traffic flow during the festival days.

Traffic disruptions are expected around the trade fair grounds. The city recommends arriving by public transport and points to additional bus and train services. Parking is limited, so early arrival is advised.

The campsites open the day before the festival begins. Visitors can choose from various areas, each equipped with sanitary facilities and food options. The organizers point out that glass bottles and open fires are not permitted on the grounds.

Regulations for Residents

Special rules apply for local residents during the festival. Access roads near the festival are temporarily closed, and residents need a corresponding pass. The city sent out resident passes well in advance of the festival's start to ensure smooth operations.

The city of St. Pölten sees Frequency as an important event for the region. In addition to its economic significance for hotels, restaurants, and local businesses, the festival is also a cultural highlight in Lower Austria's event calendar.

Overall, the organizers expect a peaceful and safe event. The interaction between security forces, city administration, and organizers is intended to ensure smooth operations. Visitors are asked to follow the authorities' instructions and show consideration for local residents.

The festival gates open in the afternoon, with the main stage program beginning in the late afternoon. After the performances end, DJs on several stages will provide the aftershow. With an organized departure concept, the city of St. Pölten aims to avoid traffic jams after the concerts end.
