FAQ
Is it actually a sleepover?
What should I bring?
Can I play?
Yes. All performances align on the common ground that all sounds must be music you can sleep to. Trust us: you will hear snores.
​
Anything you would on a camping trip (minus the burner stove). Water bottles, camping pads/yoga mats, pillows/cushions/sleeping bags/blankets, are all good places to start.
Mattresses are fine but please be mindful of space to maximize comfort for all listeners.
Inflatable items (mattresses, couches, etc.) need to be blown up before the event to limit sound.
+As of 2024, we are asking folks to leave the tents at home. They're great but take up too much space.
