The Nova Rock Festival will take place this year from June 11 to 14 at the Pannonia Fields in Nickelsdorf. Over 200,000 visitors are expected. Heavy arrival traffic is anticipated starting Wednesday. The Ostautobahn (A4) and the access roads around Nickelsdorf will be heavily congested. The ÖAMTC provides travel tips.
As experience shows, many visitors arrive as early as Wednesday. The direct access is via the A4 and the Nickelsdorf exit. In case of heavy traffic, a detour via the Mönchhof exit may occur. Road users are advised to switch to the right lane early to avoid risky lane changes. Traffic jams cannot be ruled out, especially on arrival days.
Those who wish to drop off or pick up people at the festival cannot drive directly to the festival grounds. Instead, a drop-off and pick-up area ("Kiss and Ride") is available at the Nickelsdorf sports field. Shuttle buses run from there directly to the main entrance of the grounds. A dedicated taxi stand is set up shortly before the grounds for taxis and ride services like Uber. Fixed prices apply only to appropriately marked vehicles.
To ease the burden on access roads, it is recommended to travel by public transport. Special festival trains run non-stop between Vienna Meidling and Nickelsdorf. Additionally, there are bus connections from numerous cities. On-site, shuttle buses ensure transfer between Nickelsdorf train station, the town center, and the festival grounds.
Visitors are requested to follow the instructions of the security personnel. Access routes for emergency vehicles and supply services must always be kept clear. Increased traffic density and occasional waiting times are also to be expected on the access roads.
To avoid unnecessary delays on the way home, some simple precautions should be taken:
