What to expect: Massive standing-room open-air crowd (up to 50,000), loud PA sound audible far beyond the venue fence, dense queues at the Wiesentorstraße entrance, food/drink stand smells, and heavy foot traffic on surrounding Neustadt streets before and after.
Exit options: Once inside the fenced riverbank site, reaching an exit gate means walking through dense crowds; standing near the venue perimeter rather than centre-stage makes leaving early far easier.
