WORK TASKS

There is enough work before the event in the construction of the festival, during the festival in numerous tasks and after the event in dismantling the festival.

ROADIE: Let’s help the artist! Roadies take care of the smoothness of the artists’ performances by assisting in band changes according to the information received from the performers and technical raiders (stuff to and from the stage). Roadies also help with everything else during the event. We require readiness for physical work.

CLEANING AND RECYCLING: The cleaning team takes care of the cleanliness of the festival area and the areas in the immediate vicinity, as well as toilet maintenance. We require a fearless and flexible attitude to work.

DECORATING: In the decorating team, you can unleash your creativity. Decoration items can be found throughout the festival area, e.g. from Salakapakka restaurant to the backstage. The work is before the festival, during the festival and after it.

SERVING (K18): Duties include customer service, sales of serving and/or food products, stock replenishment and other restaurant work. The work is during the festival and mainly in the evenings, but there are also shifts starting in the morning. To work in serving, you don’t

need a hygiene or an alcohol pass, but we require 18 years of age, customer service and sales spirit, teamwork skills and a flexible attitude.

FOOD SERVICE: The food service ensures that all volunteers receive food and refreshments during the festival. This talking point is very important during the festival, because you feel better when you are full. A hygiene pass is not required for the position, but it doesn’t hurt either. The most important thing is to make sure that food is available and that the places are kept clean. The work mainly takes place during the festival.

TICKET SALES: In this job, you deal with customers, so you get to show your positive and brisk customer service attitude. In the ticket sales work, money is handled, and the cash register is used (use is instructed). The work mainly takes place during the festival. We require customer service spirit, care and patience.

CONSTRUCTION AND DISMANTLING: The task includes building and dismantling festival structures (e.g. tents, fences, stages) and hanging banners and signs. You don’t have to be a carpenter or construction professional, but please note that the work is physically demanding. The work is done before and after the festival and during the festival.

SECURITY OFFICER: Organization supervision includes taking care of the general safety of the festival and customers as well as directing and guiding customers. The work will take place during the festival. We require a law enforcement card, customer service spirit and a flexible attitude.

OTHER CUSTOMER SERVICE (E.G. INFO, TRAFFIC CONTROL, BIKE PARKING, ETC.): There are many types of tasks in the festival area, which are guided as needed, e.g. customer satisfaction surveys.

We require a customer service spirit, teamwork skills and a flexible attitude, as in other customer service tasks. Smiling is desirable.

PHOTOGRAPHY: The work includes photographing the festival area, the artists, the audience and volunteers. Photographers use their own equipment. We require experience in photography.
