Give up on those thoughts of climbing a tree at Ultra Music Festival this year unless you don’t mind being shown the door. From Hydration backpacks to Lasers and Glowsticks to face masks, every other thing is banned at the festival which is just over 2 weeks away now. Flags, banners and GoPros will be allowed while you can’t pack your selfie stick for this trip. With the likes of Skrillex, Hardwell, Armin Van Buuren and many a more top notch headliners, Ultra can be excused for their not so favourable policies for the festival.
Take a look at what’s allowed and what’s not at Ultra 2015.
