The countdown is almost over. In just a few days, Domeniul Știrbey in Buftea once again becomes the place where tens of thousands of people come for three days of music, art, long nights, and experiences that define the summer. 15 years after the first edition, Summer Well returns with an eclectic line-up and a universe built around contemporary culture.

Before choosing your first concert and your first sunset spot, here is everything you need to know for a weekend without surprises.

The Summer Well app – the festival, right in your pocket

The first thing worth doing before the festival is downloading the Summer Well app, available on the App Store and Google Play. Here you will find the complete daily schedule, the festival map, the food & drinks areas, entertainment activities, useful information, and tickets purchased online. Activate notifications to receive all important updates in real time throughout the festival.

Each participant must present their own ticket at the entrance, in digital or printed format. If you are coming with friends, make sure that each person has access to their own ticket before arriving at the festival.

A few important rules

Minor participants must have the necessary identification documents with them, and those over 12 years of age must also present the declaration completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian.

All participants will be subject to a security check at the entrance. Refusal of this check results in the impossibility of access to the festival.
