Faster Horses Festival is about community and as we continue to encourage our fans to be kind to each other, we strongly urge everyone to participate in our buddy system. It’s important that fans look out for one another, always have a buddy with you If you need assistance or have questions over festival weekend:

1. Faster Horses Festival has a strict policy against firearms and weapons of any kind on MIS property (including campgrounds and festival grounds). No weapons of any kind are permitted, including but not limited to guns, knives, axes, hatchets or baseball bats. This policy applies to everyone, including those with a concealed carry permit.

No weapons of any kind are permitted. Leave them at home. You will not be permitted to enter MIS grounds with a weapon. NEW FOR 2023: THERE WILL BE NO GUN-CHECK/HOLDING AT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

Please check your campers and your vehicles before you leave your house. DO NOT BRING GUNS OR ANY WEAPONS to the festival. You will not be permitted entry. Depending on the circumstances, you may also face legal consequences. It’s not worth the risk to bring a firearm or weapon to the festival.

Not sure if what you are bringing is considered a weapon? Please reach out to our team at Info@FasterHorsesFestival.com.

2. Limit of one steering wheel per campsite, and all camping units must be at least 4′ from all other camping units.

3. Max of 8 people and 1 camping unit (camper OR tent) per campsite. Per State of Michigan camping policy R.325.1556.

4. Fires must be 10 feet from any vehicle or structure, contained, and you must have a fire ring.

5. No open pit, charcoal fires are permitted. Small camping stoves and small propane BBQ’s are permitted.

6. Fire lanes must remain open at all times.

7. Do not walk along the major roads surrounding Faster Horses property at any time, and be aware of any traffic when walking within the property. Use pedestrian bridges and our allocated trams for transport.

8. Tent and awning stakes must be marked.

9. Severe Weather: Live Nation and the Michigan International Speedway are focused on the safety of its patrons, employees and service partners. As such, we may have to shut down festival transportation (buses, trams and golf carts) during periods of severe weather. Please plan accordingly to give yourself enough time to get to a safe place in the case of severe weather.

10. Generators: When utilizing a generator, please be considerate of your neighbors and operate your generator safely. Remember to read your owner’s manual, and always double check that both your carbon monoxide and fire detectors are functioning properly before you camp!
Your generator should be outdoors, far from any structure and properly grounded. When operating your generator, plug equipment directly into the generator, and DO NOT plug the generator into a wall outlet. Between uses, give your generator time to cool off before refueling. Please “pipe up” internal generators reducing noise and diverting exhaust fumes above the RV and away from your neighbor’s camping area. For free-standing generators, a “muffle box” can reduce noise and direct exhaust away from fellow campers. All generators are the sole responsibility of their owners. Carbon monoxide detectors and fire detectors save lives. Don’t forget to pack one for your campsite and ensure they are working properly before you head to the campground!

11. No private atvs, electric bicycles, golf carts, motorcycles, off road vehicles, rental trucks, semi-trailers allowed.

12. Reflectors are required on bicycles.

13. No fireworks, sky lanterns, candle balloons, confederate flags, large bonfires or pit fires.

14. No drones or unmanned aircraft of any kind are allowed.

15. Sorry, no pets.

16. No joyrides in the campground.

If you or members of your group are removed from the camping facilities by security for violation of any festival policy/rule, vehicles may be removed at owner’s expense.

Check out our Festival Safety Tips + Camping Safety pages here.

No, due to safety reasons and traffic, we cannot allow golf carts in the campgrounds. This also includes ATVs, side by sides, dirt bikes, motorized scooters, etc.

No. Not because we don’t like them (we’re all animal lovers here), but it’s cruel and unfair to the pet to leave it alone in the campground or parking lot, locked up or in a car or tent where it may suffer from extreme heat. When we see a pet in a car or running around the camp ground unattended, we will alert the authorities and your vehicle may be entered and your pet taken to a shelter for its own welfare. You may be subject to prosecution for cruelty to animals. Service Animals are permitted.

You must purchase an overnight parking pass and also have a festival wristband.

No, the only valid ticketing provider for Faster Horses Festival is Front Gate Tickets and our resell platform on TM Exchange. We are unable to validate ANY passes sold through other people or websites.

No, you do not need to purchase both at the same time (but it will save you money to pay shipping once vs twice). You may purchase camping and come back to purchase your festival pass later (or vice versa). While supplies last.

Wristband and camping passes ship 3-4 weeks prior to the festival. If you have not received your wristband by the time you leave for the festival, please reach out to info@fasterhorsesfestival.com so we can assist.

GA, VIP Meadow, and Tack Room VIP passes can be resold on Ticketmaster Exchange here. Please note, campsites and Tack Room Reserved passes are not eligible for resale.

Nope, there are no print at home or e-ticket options for this show. Be really careful buying anywhere except the official Faster Horses, Front Gate Tickets or TM Exchange websites. We see far too many forgeries and bad tickets and they will not get you in to the festival.

Yes! We don’t sell single-day passes for Faster Horses.

Please reach out to our ticket provider Front Gate Tickets here.

No, your wristband needs to be on tight enough that it does not slide off and is good for just you only. Wristbands that have been tampered with, cut, tied, etc will be void and lost wristbands cannot be replaced for any reason.

Do not remove, stretch, or tamper with your wristband or it will be void. There is a $10 Wristband Replacement Fee for wristbands that have been lost, damaged, or tightened too tight before placing on wrist.

CASHLESS / REGISTERING WRISTBANDS

Just visit our Register Wristband page (this page will be live a little closer to the festival…stay tuned), click to register and it’ll walk you through the steps to register your wristband and opt-in to sign up for Cashless program. 

No. Although Registering your wristband is required, cashless is not. That being said, we highly encourage it as it will make your life much easier while at Faster Horses. With cashless, your credit card is securely attached to your wrist. Please note that inside the venue, we do not accept cash. We will accept Cashless on your wristband, credit cards, debit cards, Apple/Google Pay. If you only have cash, we will have stations within the festival to help exchange the cash for prepaid cards to use. This does not apply to campgrounds which may include cash or non-cash transactions.

With cashless at Faster Horses, there is no need to load any money onto your wristband as you might have experienced at some other events. When you register for the cashless option on your wristband you will securely link your credit or debit card with the wristband. So when you pay for something with your wristband, it will be just like swiping your card at a store.

No. Even though you will swipe your wristband to pay for items, you still have to punch in your PIN number for a transaction to take place. As long as you don’t give out your PIN number, your wristband is safe and cannot be used for cashless purposes by anyone else.

Go to our Register Wristband page and enter your wristband number again. It’ll then ask you for the email you used when you registered…. enter that email address. Your account information will then appear and you may edit as needed.
