Getting There

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS DIRECTIONS TO THE ROCK ROYALTY ARE DIFFFERENT THAN FOR STANDARD TICKET HOLDERS

BY COACH – The greener way to get there by road

National Express coaches take you right to into the coach park at Knebworth and back from major towns and cities throughout the UK. We’ve organised a convenient schedule for arrival and departure, to give you time to set up camp and to get you home afterwards, without you having to miss a thing.

Big Green Coach – Don’t worry about the driving, lack of sleep or over indulgence and travel with 48 other rockers direct to the festival, and then home again. By travelling on Big Green Coach you’re helping the environment too as coach travel is the most environmentally friendly way of getting to Sonisphere and in addition, Big Green Coach will plant a tree for every full coach they take to Sonisphere UK! 45 departure points.

See are running return coach services from a location near you. Dropping you in the actual site means a much shorter walk carrying all your gear! And more importantly means you are doing your bit to reduce carbon emissions. One of the easiest ways of getting you and your friends to the festival.

By Car
You need to opt in for a car parking pass if you are going to drive and we will send you a Rock Royalty car park pass with your ticket.

Directions: From A1(M) Come of at Junction 8 and follow signs down Old Hitchin Lane for the Sonisphere Rock Royalty . Please refer to the map on the back of your car parking pass. Do NOT come off with the rest of the festival traffic at Junction 7 as you will be on the wrong side of the site unable to access Rock Royalty from there.

By Train
The nearest rail station is Stevenage, two miles away. There is a taxi rank at the station. Non stop Inter-City and local services run to Stevenage from London Kings Cross Station around every 30 minutes. Plus, there are frequent Inter-City connections on the East Coast main line to Cambridge, York, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and many other destinations.

Please note that there will be NO festival access from Knebworth Train Station. You must use Stevenage station.

It is STRONGLY recommended that return train tickets are bought in advance. Stevenage is on a very busy commuter line and has narrow platforms so it will not be possible for festival goers to gain access to the station till after 9.30am once the commuter traffic has died down.

There will be a dedicated ROCK ROYALTY SHUTTLE running from the main shuttle pick up / drop off point on the festival site to the Rock Royalty registration desk. The shuttles will run from 10am daily until the last train has left Stevenage each evening.  Please refer to the shuttle bus timetable which you will be sent with your tickets a couple of weeks before the event.

Taxis
There will be a taxi rank at the main entrance to the festival and there is a taxi rank outside Stevenage station. They are inexpensive and cost around £8 from the station. Please make sure if you get a taxi from the station to the festival that you ask them to come off at Junction 8 and follow signs to the Rock Royalty entrance. It is a long walk if you end up at the wrong entrance!!

By Air
Knebworth is in close proximity to all of the main London airports: Heathrow (30 miles), Stansted (25 miles), Gatwick (75 miles) and Luton (12 miles). From Luton there are train links to London Kings Cross which has a direct train link to Stevenage.
