Accessibility

Tons of Rock works actively to ensure that everyone who wants to, can participate at the festival. We do this by ensuring that the area is accessible and by giving free entry to a companion on presentation of a carer certificate.

Tons of Rock actively works to ensure that everyone who wants to can attend the festival. We do this by making sure the area is accessible, and by offering free admission for companions upon presentation of a valid companion certificate. In addition, we collaborate with the Sunflower Program to raise awareness of invisible disabilities, and our partner Aurora Verksted provides accessibility hosts who assist and guide guests on the festival grounds.

Tons of Rock is located at Ekebergsletta, and the ground surface mainly consists of grass. This means the terrain may vary somewhat, but fortunately there are no major differences in slope. If there is heavy rain, some high-traffic areas may become muddy, but we do our best to address this continuously to ensure accessibility.

There are many seating areas throughout the festival grounds, both inside the Storm Tent and spread across the field, even though these are not marked on the festival map. At any given time, there are also quieter areas with reduced sound levels and fewer people.

An accessibility map of the festival area will be posted here closer to the festival, including distance indications, accessible toilets, and more.

1. Tickets, Accreditation and Companion

Ticket exchange booths (ticket-to-wristband) and the accreditation booth for collecting companion accreditation are located at the main entrance.

Companions:
Tons of Rock grants free admission to companions with a valid (official) companion certificate, provided that the guest holds a valid festival pass/day pass and has been registered and approved in advance via the Tons of Rock accreditation form. This MUST be completed in advance and before the deadline. It will not be possible to do this at the festival site.

The deadline to register a companion is April 1, 2026, provided that the relevant ticket category is not sold out and capacity is still available.

The registration form opens on January 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM. Find the registration form here.

2. Info

There are three information booths on site: one at the festival area, one in the VIP area, and one at the main entrance. Here you can get answers to any questions you may have during the festival. Lost and found is also handled here.

The information booths are open from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM on all festival days.

3. The Sun

Around the accessible platform at Scream Stage, there is a designated area called The Sun. This area is staffed by our fantastic accessibility hosts from Aurora Verksted, who are easily recognizable in black t-shirts with turquoise lettering. They assist with assessments, answer accessibility-related questions, and provide guidance throughout the festival.

The Sun covers 160 square meters and is clearly marked with decorative elements created by the creative team at Aurora Verksted. The area includes 2 accessible toilets, tables and benches, tent for shade, charging facilities for wheelchairs, noise-cancelling earmuffs, products from the Sunflower Program.

The Sun is for anyone who needs to sit down, take a time-out, have some quiet time, or has accessibility-related questions. You are welcome whether you have a visible or invisible disability, or a permanent or temporary need.

Companions are, of course, welcome, as are friends and family. The only rule is that you give up your seat if someone who needs it more arrives.

4. Accessible Viewing Platforms

We have accessible viewing platforms at all stages, including an extra-large one at The Sun. Standing on the platforms is not permitted. If you are not using a wheelchair, you must use the folding chairs/benches provided. At The Sun, we have additional seating connected to the platform.

Volunteers are present to assist with seating. It is advisable to arrive early for headline performances.

The placement of the platforms has been determined based on production, technical, and safety considerations.

5. VIP Grandstands

As in previous years, we have grandstands in the VIP area. Here you can take a break while enjoying a fantastic view of the main stage. Unfortunately, the grandstands are only accessible via stairs and are therefore not accessible for wheelchair users.

6. Blind Spot

Our Blind Spot is an area at the festival with fantastic sound but no view — located behind the delay towers. We fence off this area and set up tables and benches so that blind or visually impaired guests can enjoy the concert with the best sound on the festival grounds, completely free from crowding. Your companion is of course also welcome.

7. Accessible Toilets, Medic and Water Stations

On the Accessibility Map, accessible toilets (HC toilets), the Medic station, and water stations will be clearly marked.

8. Parking

There is very limited parking available near the festival grounds. The few available spaces will be prioritized for accessible parking.

If you require accessible parking, please contact billett@tonsofrock.no to purchase a parking ticket.

The distance from the ticket booths to the accessible parking area is approximately 160 meters (straight-line distance).

Please note: Parking spaces are limited. Once sold out, accessible parking will unfortunately no longer be available.

9. Food and Allergies

At Tons of Rock, you will find a wide selection of food and beverages. We offer options for vegetarians, vegans, and various allergies. All food stalls and dishes must be clearly labeled with allergen information.

If you need to bring prescription medication into the festival area, you must bring it in its original packaging and take a photo of your prescription so you can show it to security if necessary. We do not issue advance certificates, as we cannot verify what you are bringing. Further questions regarding medication can be sent to info@tonsofrock.no.

If you need to bring food or drinks for medical reasons, please send an email to info@tonsofrock.no and we will assist you.
