On 22.02.2014 the E-tropolis Festival is about to return, playing for the first time in the new location, the Turbinenhalle Oberhausen. „Better – harder – louder“ than the rest, 15 bands on two stages plus 6 djs are about to create a storm of electronic music. Acts like APOPTYGMA BERZERK, DIE KRUPPS, SUICIDE COMMANDO, HOCICO, AGONOIZE, ROTERSAND and many others guarantee for large stylistic variety. From electro-pop and EBM up to heavy industrial sounds you can expect a bold selection of finest electronic music. Delivering the perfect frame for the musical offerings and a winter festival the Turbinenhalle adds the proper ambiance with its authentic history, rooted deeply in the heart of the German steel industry.This might be one of the reasons why the new location has been received so well. At least the particular demand for original tickets has gone far beyond our expectations. Eventually our shop was forced to reorder original tickets a couple of weeks ago to keep up the supply. It´s not too unlikely that the final batch tickets might get in short supply during the final days as well. Thanks for this incredible support! In order to give you a better sense of orientation at the new venue, we would like to shed light on some important organizational matters, as some of them are handled a bit differently in Oberhausen in comparison to Berlin.
PARKING
Sufficient parking spaces will be available directly at the Turbinenhalle. For every event the owner of the venue raises a parking fee of 3,00 € per vehicle. The fee will be paid directly at your arrival to the parking stewards.
VOUCHERS / GASTRONOMY
Inhouse services and gastronomy at the Turbinenhalle are handled by a voucher system. Vouchers (like for food and drinks) need to be purchased at a dedicated voucher station („Bons“) in the foyer and can be redeemed at the bars and gastro-stations (except for the mead bar). Each voucher has a value of 1,25 €.
WARDROBE / LOCKERS
Instead of the usual wardrobe, the Turbinenhalle provides almost 3000 lockers for individual storage. You can rent a locker with 2 vouchers (2,50 €) and a 5,00 € pledge (in cash) for the key. The pledge will be refunded when you return the locker-key. Vouchers are available at the voucher station in the foyer. The handling of keys and pledges takes place at the wardrobe desk.
ABOUT LEAVING THE VENUE TEMPORARILY
When you enter the venue for the first time, the security personnel devaluates your ticket. From 3:00 pm it is possible to leave the hall. To get back in, you need an exit-wristband, which you can collect after 3:00 pm from the security on the exit.
FLOOR PLAN
A floor plan with all important places of the festival just went online at www.etropolis-festival.de/lageplan.php.
