What to expect

Noise: intense
Crowds: intense
Visual busyness: intense
Smells: lively

Very loud amplified metal/folk-rock concert with pyrotechnics and fire effects, dense standing crowd in a walled castle courtyard, smoke/fire smell.

Exit plan

Once inside the castle courtyard the space is enclosed with a single main gate; earplugs are strongly advised, and standing near the rear by the exit makes leaving mid-show far easier.
