Local, national and international press coverage of the festival is important for us. We appreciate your contribution and we commit to help those who wish to cover the festival in a professional way.
Accredited members of the press receive a “Press” Pass that gives access to the Vivendi VIP Area to meet and speak with artists, organisers and partners of the festival.
To receive accreditation, please fill in the form using the button links at the foot of this page, and return it as directed.
Your Press Pass, if confirmed, will be available in the Information Chalet on arrival.
In exchange we ask that you share the results of your work with the festival.

photographers

Access to the stage pit is restricted to 3 official photographers.
For other photographers, 4 short term passes are available at the entrance to back stage so the pit is limited to a maximum o 7 photographers at any one time. A short term pass may be obtained on presentation of a press or artist pass and should be returned to the security agent when leaving the stage area for the next photographer.
Photographers without all access Photo Accreditation should first obtain a standard press pass (download below) and use it to ask for a Short Term pass when visiting the stage pit
Rules for photographers:
  • Try to photograph as many bands as possible and not just the headliners
  • We also appreciate photos of other aspects of the festival (crowds, volunteers, downtown, ...)
  • Only the 3 accredited photographers may go onto the stage to take pictures
  • Be discreet in the stage pit so as not to get in the way of the viewing public (dark t-shirts preferred, keep low when not taking a shot)
  • Do not stay too long in the stage pit in order to allow other photographers an opportunity to go there
  • After the festival, select only your best photos, sort and edit them, organise them by date/band and send them to the festival organisation or provide a link to view them online.
  • La Roche Bluegrass Festival will not use your photos for commercial reasons without prior agreement
Failure to respect these rules may result in a refusal for accreditation for future festivals
