http://pstereo.net

Pstereo is a two-day annual music festival taking place in Norway’s third largest city, Trondheim. This city is infused with a large and active student population that contributes to *** Trondheim known for music, culture and community. Pstereo festival is a token of Trondheim summer – taking place during the third weekend of August every year and bringing together 7500. Pstereo showcases up and coming bands with a few classic headliners every year. On top of providing great live music, this festival offers a meeting ground for locals and international visitors alike with club events and a free Saturday picnic with activities and live entertainment.

Recyclable memories! Pstereo believes in being a sustainable and conscientious festival and therefore tries to shop local by hiring from local companies, providing local food, recycling, encouraging people to walk, bike or take public transit to the event and caring for the outdoor space on which the festival grounds sit.

Each year Pstereo comes together through the efforts of a core group of organisers and a huge workforce of volunteers. Last year this group was over totaled 600 persons and this contributes to a feeling of community. Take a look at the video footage from last year to get a feel for Pstereo.

This festival is about show-casing what you, festival-goers, want to see…so hit us up with an email and let us know what you’re listening to and what you would love to come out for. By now Pstereo organisers and volunteers are working around the clock to make this a memorable festival experience, so spread the word!

Thanks for checking the site out, see you at Marinen.

Marinen
Each year Pstereo rolls out onto ‘the Marine’, which could easily be considered Trondheim’s most ideallic and picturesque outdoor gathering space, right next to the Nidelva River. Aside from being home to the season’s best picnic spot, Marinen is next to the ancient site of Nidaros Cathedral, dating over 1,000 years. For this reason we urge that festival-goers consider this heritage and respect the outdoor space that we are borrowing. Once you arrive on the festival grounds it is expected that you act responsibly and care for the area. This preserves the grounds and allows for us to throw the festival here again in the future.

Gaining entrance
Entrance to the site can be accessed beside the front of Nidaros Cathedral at Grenaderen. This year Pstereo will have four stages only meters apart from one another, so all passholders and ticket buyers will find it convenient to gain access here. Keep in mind that this is the only entrance and you cannot access the stages by cutting through the cemetery.

Tickets
If you haven’t bought your festival tickets yet, get going! Pstereo tickets can be bought on the billettservice.no site, at Posten, Narvesen and 7-eleven.
From Thursday, August 12th a Pstereo ticket booth will be open in the main walking street Nordre . Avoid a queue and redeem your tickets early.

Age requirements
Due to legal requirements Pstereo is an 18 and-over event after 16:00 when the beer tents open. For all of you under-agers who want to hear good music, without the beer, come down to the Pstereo picnic at Marinen on Saturday, August 20th from 11:00 until 15:30. It’s free! This event is child-friendly and offers many of arts and culture activities. Check out the program guide for more information.

Accommodations
Unfortunately Pstereo doesn’t have its own designated campsite. Most people know someone who lives in Trondheim and find a place to crash. Otherwise you can find many affordable hotel offers in the city, or try your hand at couchsurfers.com. Then again, perhaps you are bold and want to take a chance getting to know someone at the festival who has a bed?

Food and drinks
Due to health and safety issues outside food or drinks will not be permitted into the festival grounds. Bottles are especially dangerous to dancing crowds so please expect that any outside food or beverage will be confiscated by security at the entrance. A variety of food and drinks will be sold inside by vendors for your consumption pleasures.

Safety and well-being
Festivals are about community. We hope that you take care of yourself and those around you. If there is something that you are unsure of, take a look at the festival guidelines and rules located here (hyperlink). Just a reminder that umbrellas, glass, bottles, knives, axes and other sharp or dangerous objects are not permitted on the grounds.
Be mindful of the steep drops below the cannons and remember that the river has a strong current. Guards will be monitoring those areas and are there to help. If someone asks you to step back from the edge or riverbank area, please listen – no one wishes for injuries.

Garbage
Marinen is a beautiful public space that we are borrowing. It is crucial that we respectfully return it to its original state after the festival, we are all responsible for it. Therefore we are asking for all festival-goers’ cooperation – please clean up after yourself in the city and on the grounds during and after the festival. A number of garbage bins will be placed around the site in convenient locations, so keep an eye out. Remember that there is a deposit on beer glasses when you return them at the tents, think of it as helping keep the area clean and getting cheaper beer the next time!

Cameras and video equipment
When it comes to capturing audio and visual, each artist has their own agreement with specifications and for this reason professional audio and visual equipment including video and sound capture equipment will not be allowed. Unless you have a press pass only simple phone cameras will be permitted.

After midnight: Club
The nights continue – after the festival grounds close, the clubs open! You will find more details on events and venues in the festival program.
