There will be a sleeping area on the stage in the hall, don't forget your sleeping bag and your mattress! Toilets and sinks will be available on site. Just 5 minutes from the venue, there will be a base camp with 2 showers and beds to "share" for around 10 people (note that it will be available until Monday at 10:00 if needed).
