Vehicle applications are reviewed from 1 November 2026.
Every display car must arrive with both of these:
- No more than 5 litres of fuelDrive or drain the tank down before you arrive. There is no refuelling on site, the caps stay locked, and a drip tray goes under anything that marks the floor.
- A small, in-date fire extinguisherCarried inside the car and within reach of the driver’s seat. A 1 kg dry-powder extinguisher is what most exhibitors bring.
The marshals check both at the shutter, and a car without them is not placed.
Display vehicles come in through the roller shutters — 3 000 mm wide at Hall 2 and 2 440 mm at Hall 1 — and every bay is on the festival floor itself, not in a side room.
Partner and club stands are placed on the walkway between bands, never inside a themed row — so a stand never costs the festival a display bay.
Trader stands have power included in the rate, taken from the venue. Generators are not permitted anywhere on site, by anyone, so bring nothing that depends on one.
Every booked exhibitor slot includes 1 place in the venue's underground parking, free of charge, for the vehicle that brought the car, the bike or the stand in — the tow car or the van. Up to 2 further places in the same garage are available at R40 each.
A car entry, a protected car included, comes with 2 tickets. A bike entry comes with 1 ticket, and one more — for a second person — is available for R50. It is the only extra ticket we sell, and only with a bike.
What a bay includes, load-in and load-out, insurance and removal are set out in the exhibitor and trader terms.
Exhibitor, trader and media application
The application asks for different things depending on what you are booking — a car, a bike, a food stand, a trader stand or a media pass — so you only ever answer what applies to you. It takes about 5 minutes.
- 1 application per vehicle, stand or media crew.
- Photos of the vehicle, if you are entering one.
- Your cellphone number, verified by a code we text you.
When the panel accepts you, you are added to a WhatsApp group for your category, given an arrival timeslot, and allocated the stand or bay you will be in — all before the day, so you know where you are going. On the day you arrive in your timeslot at the gate, a marshal walks you to your spot, and you unload there.
Start your applicationApplications are not binding until the panel accepts and the slot is paid for. We only use your details to assess your entry and to contact you about the festival, under the privacy policy. Applications and slots are governed by the exhibitor and trader terms.
Before you apply
What exhibitors ask before they apply — entering a vehicle, door widths, power and parking. Accessibility and photography are covered in the FAQ on the main page.
How do I enter a car?
Use the exhibitor application on the exhibit page — it is in the menu at the top of every page. Cars are R350, bikes R250, and protected cars R550. Selection is by the panel, not first-come, so the number of bays is never promised in advance. Traders and media apply through the same form — a trader stand is quoted on application, and so is media accreditation.
Do I get tickets with my entry?
A car entry, a protected car included, comes with 2 tickets. A bike entry comes with 1 ticket, and one more — for a second person — is available for R50. It is the only extra ticket we sell, and only with a bike.
Will my car fit through the vehicle entrance?
Cars come in through a roller shutter: 3 000 mm wide × 2 730 mm high at Hall 2, and 2 440 × 2 730 mm at Hall 1. Width includes your mirrors — measure before you commit, and tell us if you need the wider door.
Can I run a generator at my stand?
No. Generators are not permitted anywhere on site, by anyone — exhibitors and traders included. Every trader stand has power included in the rate and takes it from the venue.
Where do I park as an exhibitor?
Every booked exhibitor slot includes 1 place in the venue's underground parking, free of charge, for the vehicle that brought the car, the bike or the stand in — the tow car or the van. Up to 2 further places in the same garage are available at R40 each.
What happens once my entry is accepted?
You get an email with a link to confirm your details and pay, and the slot is held for 7 days. Once it is paid you are added to a WhatsApp group for your category, given an arrival timeslot, and allocated the stand or bay you will be in — all before the day, so you know where you are going. On the day you arrive in your timeslot at the gate; a marshal walks you to your allocated spot and you unload there. We then move the trailer or tow vehicle to the exhibitor parking so the display bay stays clear.
