Are there any age restrictions? Can I bring my kids?
Your kids are weird! But generally, yes. Most shows welcome all ages. Some Long Play venues are clubs that are 21+, but will allow you to bring in a minor if accompanied by an adult.
Are these concerts seated, or standing room only?
It depends on the venue or show – some are fully seated and others are standing room only. However, we will make every effort to provide a seat for anyone needing one at any Long Play performance.
Will 2-Day passes and 1-Day passes be made available?
Yes, at a later date we will release limited 2-Day and 1-Day LONG PLAY passes as capacity permits.
I love music, but this festival is too expensive for me. Any discounts?
As a mission based institution, it’s important to us that no person be unable to attend due to cost. If you feel you are in need of a discount, please drop us a line at [email protected]. We’ll also be handing out a number of fully subsidized passes closer to the event thanks to our Supporters.
Can I volunteer for the festival?
