INFORMATION

Welcome to JAILBREAK!

Every year, we transform the historic setting of the old prison in Horsens into the epicenter of Jutland's biggest rock and metal festival.

Since its inception in 2022, JAILBREAK has grown into a powerhouse event, and we are proud to call ourselves one of the leading rock and metal events in the region.

Each year, we present a wide range of genres within rock and metal, from thrash and power metal to classic hard rock.

We are dedicated to providing our guests with an experience beyond the ordinary, collaborating closely with local partners and artists to ensure a festival that is not just a musical experience, but a true community celebration where camaraderie and passion for rock and metal take center stage!

TENT CAMPING

At JAILBREAK Camping, you can enjoy an overnight stay in your own tent on a 2 x 2.5 meter spot per camping ticket. The campsite is open from Thursday 4 pm. to Sunday noon.

When you arrive with your tent, you’ll receive two camping wristbands and a voucher with your camping ticket, giving access for two people with one tent. Simply hand in the voucher at the entrance, and we'll check that you’re bringing only one tent.

Remember, your tent must fit within 2 x 2.5 meters per purchased campsite. If your tent is larger than this, you’ll need to buy extra camping tickets. For instance, a tent measuring 2 x 5 meters will require 2 camping tickets.

Up to 2 people can stay per tent space. If you purchase 2 spaces for a larger tent, you'll get 4 wristbands, allowing up to 4 people to stay in the tent.

Showers are included at JAILBREAK, and breakfast can be bought at the camp site Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

NOTE: One camping ticket for your own tent includes 2 camping wristbands. Access to the camping area also requires a JAILBREAK ticket.

AUTOCAMPER/MOTORHOME CAMPING

You can also stay overnight in your own motorhome, caravan, or camper trailer at JAILBREAK Camping. The campsite is open from Friday to Sunday.

Your spot will be 2.5 x 7.5 meters, so your motorhome, caravan, or camper trailer should not exceed these dimensions (including the awning). The area is designed to fit as many guests as possible while adhering to fire safety regulations. There must be at least 3 meters between each camping unit, so please don’t set up any fixed items beside your unit that could block fire lanes.

Due to fire safety rules, camping tables, awnings, chairs, etc., must be removed when you’re not at your unit. Our staff may need to remove items left unattended to ensure safety.

Each camping unit has access to electricity, so bring a blue CEE plug and a 30-meter extension cord (the nearest power outlet could be up to 25 meters away). Each unit gets 6 amps of power.

Please note that cars cannot park in the camping area. Upon arrival, drive to the camping area to register and unload, then park your car in the JAILBREAK parking lot, which is 900 meters by car and a 400-meter walk from the campsite.

NOTE: One camping ticket for a motorhome, caravan, or camper trailer includes 2 camping wristbands. The number of people staying in the unit is up to you. Additional camping wristbands can be purchased for JAILBREAK Camping. Access to the camping area also requires a JAILBREAK ticket.

Welcome to JAILBREAK with the whole family!

We're thrilled to have you and your little ones join us at JAILBREAK – where fun knows no bounds! Here's all you need to know about our family-friendly policies:

Child-Friendly access

At JAILBREAK, we believe in creating memorable experiences for the entire family. Children aged 2 to 12 years are more than welcome to join in the excitement with our special child tickets. And hey, kids under 2 years old get in absolutely free!

Wristbands

We want to make your family's time at JAILBREAK as smooth as possible. Children receive wristbands that match the ones their accompanying adults wear. It's all about staying together and enjoying the event as one big happy crew.

Unaccompanied youth

Got older kids in the group, aged 13 and over? No worries, they can have a blast at JAILBREAK too! They just need to grab their regular tickets and they're all set to enjoy the event without their parents or guardians.

Trusting parents and guardians

At JAILBREAK, we believe that parents and guardians are the experts on their children's needs. We're all about respecting your judgment. We don't enforce strict rules for children, but we do have some friendly suggestions to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.

Suggested guidelines:

  • For youngsters between 13 and 18 years, we recommend attending with friends or adults.
  • If kids get separated from their grown-ups, they can head to the information booth for assistance.
  • As the evening sets in, we suggest children wind down and leave the event site by 8 pm.
  • Our Biergarten tent (Kachotten) and its surroundings are better suited for adults – let's keep it comfortable for everyone.
  • Safety first! Keep an eye out for wild mosh pits or overly enthusiastic partygoers. Move kids away from these zones.
  • Protect those little ears! Don't forget hearing protectors for kids of all ages. If the music's too loud near the stage, just find a cozy spot a bit farther back.

Extra measures for peace of mind

We take safety seriously. Upon receiving their wristbands, we register the parent or guardian's telephone number, ensuring a reliable point of contact.

Additionally, we recommend writing down the same contact number on your child's arm with a permanent marker – just in case. We know that accidents happen, and we want you to feel prepared.

So, gear up for a fantastic time at JAILBREAK, where family memories are made, and everyone's experience matters. Let's make this an event to remember – together!

Just like many other festivals, JAILBREAK is also cashless. It's all about making things safer and more convenient for you, our awesome guests, as well as our incredible staff and volunteers.

Not only does this boost security, but it also means you won't waste precious time waiting in line at bars or food stalls.

So, at JAILBREAK, we're only taking card payments and contactless transactions. Cash won't cut it.

Wondering which cards you can use?

You're good to go with your regular credit and debit cards – that's Dankort, Visa, and Mastercard – at all the bars and stalls scattered around the festival grounds.

About MobilePay – can you use it for purchases at our spots?

Unfortunately, we do not currently accept MobilePay payments, but we've got your back with other card options mentioned above.

Everyone is welcome at JAILBREAK. If you have special needs or are a wheelchair user, you can find information about the accessibility at JAILBREAK below. If you have any questions that have not been answered below, you are more than welcome to contact us at inmate@jailbreak.dk. This also applies if you have any good ideas on how we can improve or upgrade your experience on JAILBREAK.

COMPANION TICKETS

Wheelchair users with a valid companion card from Danske Handicaporganisationer can buy a wheelchair ticket for JAILBREAK. The wheelchair ticket automatically includes an additional ticket for a companion. The companion card must be presented at the entrance. Please contact Ticketmaster's customer service to purchase a wheelchair ticket, as these are not available for purchase online.

Companions on wheelchair podiums must be at the same level as wheelchair users. Wheelchair users can bring a maximum of one companion, unless permission has been granted in advance.

You may bring 1 companion with you. If you have a disability and do not require a wheelchair but would like to bring a companion to the event, you can buy a regular ticket and afterwards contact JAILBREAK directly at inmate@jailbreak.dk in order to register your companion. This requires a valid companion card issued by Danske Handicaporganisationers Brugerservice.

TOILET AND BATHING FACILITIES

There are three toilet areas, all of which have accessible toilets that are equipped with a ramp. 

TRANSPORT AND PARKING

There are accessible parking spaces at FÆNGSLET to those with impaired mobility. These parking spaces are marked with a wheelchair symbol, and may only be used if you are able to present a visible and valid parking card issued by the Danish Handicap Organization. Accessible parking is free and works on a first-come, first-served basis.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES

All assistive devices are allowed on the premises.

PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY

We are committed to ensuring that all our guests feel warmly welcomed and can fully enjoy the Jailbreak Festival. We recognise that the physical layout of the venue may present challenges for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Nonetheless, we are dedicated to making the concert areas as accessible as possible.

At the main stage in the courtyard, there is a platform where wheelchair users and individuals with special needs can comfortably enjoy the concerts. Our aim is to provide everyone with an excellent experience, and thus we have implemented a policy that grants access to the platforms exclusively for those with companion cards issued by Danske Handicaporganisationer. When necessary, companions are welcome to accompany as well. Please understand that space on the platforms is limited, prompting us to encourage those who truly need it to utilise them.

Unfortunately, there isn't a platform or designated area for wheelchair users and those with mobility difficulties at the stage in Vestsalen (the indoor stage). This is due to the limited capacity of the venue. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause and are actively exploring alternative solutions to enhance accessibility in the future.

If you have inquiries or require further assistance regarding accessibility at the JAILBREAK Festival, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at inmate@jailbreak.dk. We are committed to ensuring that all our guests have a positive experience at the festival, and we will go the extra mile to cater to your specific needs, whatever they may be.

Your safety is our priority at JAILBREAK!

At JAILBREAK, we're not just about the music – we're also about creating a secure and welcoming environment for every single guest. Our commitment to safety is what makes us stand out and ensures that every experience is memorable, enjoyable, and worry-free.

Here are some essential guidelines to make sure you have an amazing time:

Alcohol and tobacco

For those looking to enjoy a drink, please note that you must be 18 years or older to purchase alcohol. Let's keep it responsible – guests under 18 should avoid alcohol consumption and intoxication. Don't forget your ID, even if you're a youthful 40-year-old!

Guests under 18 are also not allowed to purchase tobacco or e-cigarettes, with or without nicotine. These rules apply throughout the event area and the camping grounds.

Drugs and gas canisters

Your safety is paramount, so the use, ingestion, or sale of drugs and gas canisters is strictly prohibited at both the event site and the camping area.

Bringing your own food and drinks

Feel free to bring your own food and drinks to the camping area. However, in the event area, we've got your back with a variety of options to satisfy your cravings.

Umbrellas, banners, and flags

Umbrellas can obstruct others' views, so please leave them behind. Instead, pack rainwear or waterproof ponchos. When using banners and flags, be mindful of those around you – remove them if they're hindering someone's view.

Fireworks and weapons

Safety first: fireworks and weapons are not allowed. While you can rock those spiked and studded vests and jackets, let's keep it reasonable. Jackets with excessively long spikes might be a bit much for the safety of fellow event-goers.

Pets and furniture

Unfortunately, pets can't join the party. Likewise, furniture like tables and chairs won't be allowed at the event, so you can make the most of our available seating options.

Photo, video, and audio equipment

Bring along your compact cameras, GoPros, and phones – they're welcome! However, larger equipment like DSLR cameras and tripods are allowed only if you have press accreditation. Selfie sticks, on the other hand, will need to sit this one out.

Covid-19

JAILBREAK is dedicated to upholding the safety and security of our audience, event staff, and bands. While COVID-19 is no longer a major concern, we remain mindful that health and safety measures play a crucial role in creating a successful festival experience.

We closely follow the guidelines and recommendations of authorities to ensure a seamless and secure festival for everyone. Although COVID-19 restrictions are no longer necessary, we're committed to maintaining a clean and hygienic festival grounds.

At the same time, we kindly ask our guests to be considerate and adhere to general health and hygiene advice to ensure the well-being of all attendees during the festival. If you're feeling unwell or exhibiting symptoms of illness, we kindly request that you stay home and join us at the festival on a later occasion.

Code of Conduct

Look out for each other, follow safety staff instructions, and make friends without throwing beverage mugs or objects. Aggressive behaviour, violence, discrimination, and hateful speech are strictly off-limits – we're all here to rock in harmony.

Stay safe and have fun!

Our dedicated crowd safety teams are here to make sure you have a great time without any worries. Let's remember that the energy can get wild near the stages. Lend a hand if someone falls and be attentive to those around you – we're all part of this epic experience together.

Remember, following these guidelines ensures that everyone enjoys a fantastic time at JAILBREAK. Your cooperation helps us create a secure, positive, and unforgettable environment. Let's rock on safely!
