Booth applications from artists and suppliers are handled through the site. Details for the 2027 edition, including the programme and artist lineup, had not been published at the time of checking.

Ticket prices are deliberately not listed here. The organiser's information page shows day, weekend and VIP prices but never states which edition they apply to, and that page carries a prior-year copyright — they are most likely the previous edition's prices. The contest categories may also change, and no contest start times or programme are published for this edition. No venue street address appears anywhere on the organiser's site.

Hours, pricing and the artist lineup are published by the organiser as the event gets closer — this page fills in as they announce.
