GRiZ's Sold-Out Seven Stars Festival Offers Free Admission for Volunteers

The new Seven Stars Festival, the brainchild of electronic music superstar GRiZ, is seeking volunteers in exchange for admission to the sold-out event.

Scheduled for October 10-12 in Arrington, Virginia, the festival has partnered with Clean Vibes, a sustainability-focused event services company, to provide waste and recycling management services. The organization is now recruiting individuals to volunteer during and after the three-day event in exchange for access, according to its onsite coordinator.

The inaugural Seven Stars Festival sold out shortly after tickets went on sale, so the volunteer opportunity stands as one of the only remaining ways to secure access. The festival will feature three sets by GRiZ as well as performances from Subtronics, Disco Lines, Levity, Wooli and EDM.com Class of 2025 stars ALLEYCVT and Tape B, among others.

Prospective volunteers can apply for one of several available positions, including morning cleanup and table bussing roles during the event, or post-show cleanup shifts. Each of the mid-festival roles requires a commitment of three five-hour shifts and volunteers will assist in clearing debris from the venue, helping maintain the grounds between each day of programming. Those who opt for the post-event option will check in on Monday, October 13th and work full-day shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday to help return the grounds to their pre-festival state.

In return, volunteers receive a general admission wristband granting access to all GA areas, a Clean Vibes volunteer shirt and a camping vehicle pass, with participants expected to bring their own camping gear. Post-festival volunteers will also be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner during their workdays and can remain onsite through noon on Thursday.

A refundable deposit and a small signup fee are required to confirm a spot through Clean Vibes' VolunteerLocal system. The deposit will be returned after the successful completion of all volunteer responsibilities.

Details and the volunteer application form are available on Clean Vibes' website and you can find the original call for volunteers on the r/GRiZ subreddit.
