The festival starts on Wednesday, 19 August 2026, at 4 p.m. and lasts until Sunday, 23 August 2026, at 12 noon
On Wednesday, the Party Zone opens at 7 p.m., setting the festival mood right from the start.
The grand finale takes place on the night from Saturday to Sunday, with a continuous afterparty until 12 noon – for everyone who wants to enjoy the festival feeling without interruption. Afterwards, it’s time to head home in a relaxed way.
After four intense festival days, the energy is at its peak – which is exactly why we are introducing a particularly atmospheric finale. From Saturday night to Sunday, you can now dance non-stop until 12 noon. The festival finale becomes a long, relaxed flow: celebrate, enjoy and wind down – before heading home in a chilled way.
To kick things off, we are already presenting three bands on the White Stage on Wednesday!
With the “All Days” ticket, you get access to the campsite from Wednesday at 16:00. You can choose your spot freely and settle in comfortably. The party in the party zone starts at 19:00.
Usually there are waiting times around 08:00 on Thursday morning. We therefore recommend arriving a bit later in the morning.
We will share updates as soon as there is something to announce. For those unfamiliar with the area: Gampel and Turtmann are neighbouring villages separated only by the Rhône river. And of course, the name Openair Gampel will remain – no matter what.
When purchasing 10 tickets, you will receive the 11th ticket free of charge.

With your Saturday day pass, you may enter the festival grounds from Saturday, 22 August 2026, at 10 a.m.
You are welcome to stay overnight at the campsite with a valid festival ticket – regardless of the ticket category. The campsite is accessible from Thursday to Sunday for everyone with a valid ticket.
If you would like to stay on the campsite already on Wednesday, you must have an ALL DAYS CLASSIC or ALL DAYS PREMIUM ticket, or a Wednesday day ticket.
Yes, your friends can stay on the same camping area as you with a regular ticket – there is no separate PREMIUM camping area.
However, people with ALL DAYS PREMIUM or ALL DAYS CLASSIC tickets are already allowed to enter the campsite on Wednesday and choose their spot. Since reserving spaces on Wednesday is not allowed, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that there will still be space available directly next to you on Thursday.
All ALL DAYS PREMIUM and ALL DAYS CLASSIC ticket holders, as well as Wednesday day ticket holders, can access the campsite from Wednesday, 19 August 2026, at 4 p.m. You can set up your tent wherever you like.
The party starts at 7 p.m.
From the 12th birthday, the child must have a valid festival pass.
Please note, however, that a music festival is not suitable for small children. You can pick up hearing protection for your child at the information stand.
