It's been a long and chilly winter but we're back! And ready for a hot summer of festivals! ☀️
We're so excited to be kicking off summer 2024 plans with festival volunteering and paid stewarding event job applications opening at midday next Friday 26th Jan! 🙌
As ever, shift patterns will be allocated based on shift preferences alongside deposit payment date, so make sure you've got your speediest internet ready as it's a battle to get your deposit in as fast as you can to maximise your chances of getting the best possible shifts!
There are volunteering shift patterns that enable you to be off-shift for all of the headliners this year, but these are always the most popular shifts so we recommend applying ASAP when applications open if you'd like a chance to nab one!
If you'd like to be ahead of the game pop over to our application system Hotbox Events PAAM and doublecheck you remember your login and your info is up to date, or you can setup an account if you're planning on joining us for the first time! Then it'll be quick and easy for you come midday Friday 26th Jan when we open!

We can't wait to see you in a festival field this summer!
If there is anything you would like to ask or you would just like to chat with us about, the easiest way is to...
You can connect with us @hotboxevents on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
If you would like to chat with others who have joined us before head to our Facebook Group and Forum
On Facebook and in our Forum you will find new and returning staff and volunteers chatting about what it is like to join us at festivals, arranging to share lifts, asking and answering questions about working at festivals and making new friends!
If you have not joined us at a festival before and are wondering what it is like, check out some of our staff and volunteer interviews!
In the interviews you will get to hear from those who have joined us talking about how they found their shifts, how they felt they were looked after by the Hotbox team, what it was like working solo for the first time, taking on more responsibility year on year, and even how the experience and confidence gained has helped with career progression away from festivals!
Another way to see what joining us is like is to check out some of our festival photos!
In our festival photo galleries, you will find thousands of photos covering our festival history over the past twenty years!
It's totally normal to be anxious before coming to a festival, particularly if you're coming solo! We get hundreds of messages every year from people wanting to join us but nervous about doing it, so we promise you're not alone! We're a very friendly bunch so if there's anything we can do to reduce your anxiety please get in touch! Try joining our Facebook Group to make friends with others before the festival - there are even a few WhatsApp groups that have been set up too!
If you have specific questions about joining us at festivals try our festival FAQs!
Our festival FAQs are regularly updated and packed full of answers to the questions we are usually asked, plus lots of handy hints and tips about working at festivals.
We usually send an email newsletter about once a month, if you would like to keep up to date you can subscribe!
