How our guides work
Every guide section carries a verification label — attended, local knowledge, official source, or community-confirmed. If something isn't verified, we say so. That honesty is the entire point.
- ✓ Verified – Attended confirmed by a named contributor who attended within the last 24 months
- ✓ Verified – Local from a contributor who lives in the host city or region
- ✓ Verified – Official taken from official sources: festival, transport and venue sites
- ✓ Community Verified confirmed by two or more separate contributors or sources
- ⚠ Needs Update may be useful, but not confirmed for the current season
