Volunteer registration opens on 05.01. 2025

Trevarefest is nothing without volunteers and soon we are opening volunteer positions for Trevarefest 2025! Do you want to join our team and make a fantastic festival? Bring a friend, your smile, a pair of good shoes and we’ll make this summer’s best festival together.

 

Why volunteer?

Since 2017 Trevarefest has brought together people from all over the world to share the love for music – surrounded by the ocean, mountains and the midnight sun. Already from the start, we were lucky enough to have people like you, who wanted to contribute to making a music festival in a small fishing village in Northern Norway possible. Trevarefest would never have been such a success without its volunteers.

 

By volunteering you get a unique experience to be a part of a community – whether you sign up alone or with someone you know from before. In the volunteer-family we look out for each other, laugh together and work hard together in order to create something beautiful.

 

We wish everyone welcome to volunteer together with us, regardless where you’re from or what life experiences you have. The only thing you need is the will to contribute to making Trevarefest 2025 possible.

What do I get as a volunteer?

–  Festivalpass to Trevarefest 2025 (3 days)
–  Volunteer merch
–  A fantastic festival experience
–  Food when at work
–  Work experience
–  New friends and a lot of good memories

What can I do?

We have different teams during the festival. Choose three categories when you register. We will try to give you one of your wishes, but can’t guarantee it. If you have any experience or already have an agreement with one of our team leaders you need to write it in your registration.

 

Please note that Trevarefest is a quite small festival and we all help each other out as one big team – so the tasks and assignments ​​can differ from the description below. 

HOST & SAFETY CREW

The host and safety crew are responsible for the festival people’s well-being, service and safety. Here you will make sure that the audience feels safe and sound during the festival days. Your job will be checking tickets and keeping an eye on everything happening. A perfect job if you like people and also like to keep an overview over what’s going on. Shifting between tasks and handling possible stressful situations is a plus.

BAR

Do you love Lofotpils? Do you like to serve drinks fast and with a smile on your face? Yes? Then Trevarefest’s bar crew is a perfect match for you. Bar experience is definitely nice to have, but not a must at all. We will give you the training you need.

KITCHEN & GRILL

Do you love grilling burgers and serving festival food? Do you like to serve food efficiently and with a smile on your face? Yes? Then Trevarefest’s Kitchen & Grill crew is a perfect match for you. Experience from serving food is definitely nice to have, but not a must at all.

TRANSPORT

We need to transport a lot of people, bits and bobs back and forth before, during and after the festival. That’s why we need a team of drivers to make sure everything runs smoothly. You need a manual drivers license to choose this category. We are also looking for people with a trailor license. The shifts can be at all times of the day, so be prepared!

ARENA, RIG & CONSTRUCTION CREW

It takes a strong arena crew to build up and tear down the whole festival in just a few days. Maybe you are handy and like to build things together? Or maybe just want to be a part of packing everything up after 3 amazing festival days? By choosing this crew we need you to be available from Thursday (rig up) before the festival starts until Thursday (rig down), after the festival is over.

HEALTH CARE CREW

Are you studying to become a paramedic, nurse or doctor? Or have you volunteered for the Norwegian Red Cross or similar and feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations? Do you want some work experience, but not sweat away inside a damp hospital all day long? Then the Health Crew is for you! 

STAGEHAND CREW

As a stage hand crew you contribute to make sure that everything that goes on backstage works well. During the festival, there’s a lot of artists that will go on and off stage, and your job will be to make the transitions as smooth as possible, giving them a helping hand when they go on stage, and a high five when they go off.

ACCREDITATION & MERCH

Be a part of the crew hosting the ticket & information booth and selling merch for the festival, Trevarefabrikken and the artists during the festival. If you like talking with people and like a little bit of control this job will be a good match.

DECO TEAM

Help create the visual ambiance and atmosphere of Trevarefest by assisting in the decoration team! A few days before the festival we will be transforming the factory and it’s surrounding areas into a festival site. We need your help to paint signs, make decorations, rigging and decorating the areas both inside and outside. By choosing this crew we need you to be available from Thursday (rig up) before the festival starts until Thursday (rig down), after the festival is over.

SUPPLY SERVICE TEAM

Making sure toilets are clean and stocked during the festival is essential for a good festival experience for audience, campers and volunteers. The supply service teams main task is to regularly check toilets at the festival area and the different camp sites. PS: You should have a driver’s license to choose this category. The Supply Service Team will only work one long shift each.

GREEN TEAM

We need to take care of our environment. With the sea as our closest neighbour, waste and recycling is important for us. Be a part of the team that keeps the festival area clean and tidy and helps mother earth. PS: You should have a driver’s license to choose this category.

PRODUCTION CREW

Do you wish to get a better look into the production of a festival and the music industry? To be in the production crew means bigger responsibilities and to work closer with the festival administration. Is that you? Then be sure to pick the production crew category  as your nr 1 priority in the form! PS: You should have a driver’s license to choose this category and be available from Sunday.

VOLUNTEER HOST

Keeping spirits high during busy festival days among volunteers is essential to creating a good festival, both for volunteers, audience and artists. As a volunteer host you are the key to making this happen. Tasks and working hours vary a lot, but can be anything from bringing food to the volunteer lounge, making sure there is always coffee / drinks around, to actually checking in on the different booths and stalls where volunteers are working to make sure that people are doing alright, getting breaks and the occasional snacks when it is cooking!

ARTIST HOST

As an artists host, you’ll help out with everything practical surrounding artists, from helping them with logistics to serving them backstage or keeping them updated on their itinerary.  “Smooth sailing”, as Queens of the Stone Age say. PS: You should have a driver’s license to choose this category and be available from Sunday.

What do I need to do? And what does Trevarefest expect of me?

By registering to become a volunteer, you automatically accept the volunteer contract. Please read it through before submitting your application. As a Trevarefest volunteer  we need you to meet up on time for your shift, sober and hopefully with a smile. Do your best at work and ask if you have questions. You don’t need any volunteer experience to join our team, we’ll teach you everything you need to know, but if you have any experience please write it in our registration form.

 

–  Work 2 shifts of 8 hours (ish) during the festival.
Please note that the shifts are a bit longer for some categories before and after the festival.
–  Be sober at work
–  Do your assigned tasks and contribute where needed

 

NOTE! We sadly cannot accommodate our volunteers during Trevarefest, but we are looking into a cheaper accommodation alternative for you all though. More info about this will be sent out in April.
