No, the wristband you receive in the mail is not a 19+ bracelet. If you are over 19, you will be given a 19+ wristband at the festival gates after being ID’d. Anyone over 19 will have 2 wristbands: the one they initially received by mail, and the second one (19+) received onsite at the festival.

If you are underage and caught inside the festival with a 19+ bracelet on, your bracelet will be confiscated, and you will be removed from the festival.

ID must be carried at all times. 19+ wristband does not replace your ID. IDs will be verified at the gates each day of the festival, and those without IDs will have their 19+ wristband removed.

No, registration can only be completed once, and modifications are not allowed.

Any damaged or tampered with wristbands will not be allowed for accessing the festival. For further inquiries, email info@sommofest.com. Please include your order number and be as detailed as possible describing your situation. You may also visit the on-site box office at the festival grounds.
