- No moshing or other activities that could lead to injury for you or someone else
- If you drink, don't drive...stay the night and campout.
- Come to the show, have a good time, be respectful of others, stay safe and go home alive knowing you had a great time! In short....don't be a dick! We reserve the right to kick you out if we or others think you are being a dick, whether or not you agree with us.
- 494 Productions and Ross County Fairgrounds staff also reserve the right to refuse admission to the fest to anyone for any reason. Obviously we want as many people to attend as possible, so we'll have a good reason if we refuse entry to someone.
- No four-wheel atv vehicles or motorcycles are allowed inside the venue. All vehicles must park in the assigned parking areas outside the gates. No vehicles are allowed inside the gates unless you are in a band, and only then during your designated unload/load times!
- Please be careful with yourself and your personal items. This is good advice all the time, but Warriors of Metal Fest the event, 494 Productions, The Ross County Fairgrounds, Favahar Records LLC, all the bands and management groups associated with the event, volunteers and employees are not responsible for any injury, illness, accident, theft, loss of personal property, or life that may occur before, during, or after the event.
*Video and still cameras allowed for attendees not engaged in commercial activities. We'd be thrilled if you forwarded pics and video to us afterward. If you are press, please contact us for a press pass; if you take pictures or video for sale, contact us for a vendor application.
