The campground officially opens on wednesday, 8 am I think. You can arrive earlier, but officially you have to pay extra for that. People here claim you don't really have to pay, though.
The stage are is open from thursday to saturday. Usually they open before I wake up ;) and close at 3 am.

You can also ask one of the US-members (or Canadian members) here how they orgainse everything including travel, etc. It's always easier to have first hand information about that.

I think the festival grounds tend to open around 10 am on Friday and Saturday.

Thursday I think it's about 4 pm.

When the bands stop playing at about 3 am everyone leaves the festival area fast as hell, in an orderly German manner :D
Really, they do.

After the camp site has lopened it stays open until after the festival is over.

Parts of the camp site doesn't open until Wednesday morning I think it is, if you arrive earlier you'll need to camp on the parts of the camping grounds placed further away, and possibly pay extra fees for the xtra camping days.

But, during the festival the camping grounds all stay open, you don't need to be at your tent at a certain hour ;)

The party usualy dies down around 3-4 am and at 5-6 am normally there are not a lot of people still drinking.

The party starts when the first people wakes up and gets out of the tents, usually at 8-10 am or so.
