Accessibility

A dedicated PMR platform, located near the main stage, is available for people with reduced mobility.

In collaboration with COFEES, we offer hearing-impaired people subpacs (also called vibrating vests). These are backpacks with a tactile audio system that makes the concert experience accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing.

The subpac silently and accurately transfers deep bass frequencies to create an immersive, full-body experience.

They are available at PLANÈTE PLAGES!

Email [email protected] if you would like to reserve a vibrating vest.

If you are a person with a disability, please report to the festival entrance for fast-track entry.

Directly approach security agents to access all available elevators to move from one space to another.
