Will there be two stages again at One Love 2025?

If you refuse to present any of the requested items for searching, you will be denied entry.

What happens with tickets and wristbands when entering One Love?

When you arrive at the entry gates to One Love, and you have your ticket scanned, you will have a Wayver wristband put on your wrist. The wristband has a chip in it where you load credit on to it and this is what you will use to purchase any products at the festival - there will be top-up stations all around the festival, you give Wayver money (or Eftpos) and they transfer the credit onto your wristband. You will be charged a small, one-off fee for the wristband.

Alternatively, you can top-up prior to One Love festival getting underway. More information about this date and time will be available closer to the time of the festival.
