Art
Trippy artwork is a staple at any major music festival. Clockenflap 2015. Take the iconic 2015 #CoachellaCaterpillar for example.

Art at Clockenflap 2015 will be revolving around the theme “The Cosmic and the Communal“. Organizers are promising a giant pyramid structure dubbed The Magnet Palace, which will serve as a multi-use experimental performance space with sonic-visual kinetic installations. In layman terms, it’s a giant flashy thingymajig that will act as the perfect backdrop for your Instagram selfies. Film junkies can also enjoy a selection of short feature films and animations at the Cinema Silenzio tent. If you’re looking for more old school, classic entertainment, Club Minky can provide that in the form of vaudeville cabaret, circus acrobatics and comedy shows.
Family Zone
Can’t find anyone to babysit your kids while you bust a move to Clean Bandit? Why not take them with you? Children aged 12 can enjoy all festivities for free, and will be kept entertained by stage shows, song performers, DIY workshops and other interactive games.
Food
Organizers are promising a bigger and better array of food and beverage this year, in the hopes of providing a spectacle for your eyes, ears, and mouth.
Ticketing
As always, ticketing will be segmental, with prices going up gradually as more acts join the line up. Discounted student / under 18 tickets will also be available this year. Visit Ticketflap for ticketing details.
