FIVE SPECTACULAR EVENINGS

All events at the Vintage Club (After Hours Parties, Jitterbug Hop) have free seating, but seating is limited and can’t be guaranteed.

The parties In The Mood and Hep Cats Night in the Künstlerhaus have numbered seats on the ground floor and on the balcony.

The Rock That Swing Ball and the Jamboree Ball at the Deutsches Theater have numbered seating only. You can choose between different price categories depending on the view and floor.

Yes, you can reserve seats for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Have a look at the seating maps and let us know what seats and how many you would like to have. Send an email to reservations@rockthatswing.com with your request. Give us one or two alternatives in case the desired table is booked already. You will receive a reservation code from us by email that is normally valid for 10 days. Everybody who should get one of the reserved seats has to use the reservation code at the time of their individual booking.

Hint: If you have more than 10 people in your group for a specific evening a group order offers you additional discounts.

For the evening events you need to be dressed accordingly. Otherwise you might not be allowed to get in. In general we want to encourage you to accomplish the atmosphere of the dance nights with a stylish outfit; best would be 40s or 50s style of course. If you don't have any clothes of the era dress nicely. Training pants and T-shirts are for sure not accaptable—they are meant for training and not suitable for a delightful evening. So dress to impress.

Thursday and Friday evening take place in the Künstlerhaus – a beautiful vintage building. Saturday and Sunday take place at the Deutsches Theater – an elegant theatre ballroom.

In case you sweat a lot, your dance partners will appreciate it highly if you have extra shirts with you to change from a wet to a dry shirt.

The non-smoking-law in Bavaria forbids smoking in restaurants, cafés, pubs and venues. Therefore all venues at the RTSF will be smoke free.

At the Deutsches Theater on Saturday and Sunday night small dishes will be served at the Food Station (Balcony Left Bar). There are also various restaurants close by.

At the Künstlerhaus small dishes might be servered in the ballroom. In the same building around the corner is a great Italian Osteria.

At the After Hours Parties and Jitterbug Hop (Monday) at the Vintage Club only drinks and beverages are served. At the bar you can find snack food like pretzel sticks, nuts, chips etc.

Own food or drinks are NOT allowed to be brought in to any of the evening venues!

Definitely not. All venues have their own catering. If you violate that policy you risk being expelled from the venue.

In general you need permission for handing out flyers inside the venues or putting them on the tables. You can put your flyers on the designated flyer tables at the Check-In. You also have the opportunity to advertise in the RTSF playbill, which is a full color booklet of about 60 to 80 pages that will be handed out to all participants for free. If you want to place an ad please contact us at advertise@rockthatswing.com.

You can film, considering the GDPR, without tripods during the evening events. If some bands don’t like to be recorded they will let you know. We are happy if you post your evening recordings on the internet (YouTube etc.) as long as you list Rock That Swing as the event and place a link to the Rock That Swing website.

All regular contests of the Rock That Swing Festival are open and are free to enter. Anybody who likes to compete and has a ticket for the respective evening can take part in those contests. The registration will take place through our online registration system, at the Check-In during the day and at the venue of the specific night until 30 mins before the contest starts. Details can be found at the contests page.
