Wasteland Weekend is the post-apocalyptic great gathering of Tribes.
A place where all factions, gangs, and fractured remnants of society come together on neutral ground to trade, barter, make new alliances, and PARTY!

What is a Tribe?

A tribe is a group of Wastelanders with a shared identity and story. Individuals who have come together, and go all out with coordinated costumes, a group identity, themed encampments and/or vehicles. Some tribes are as small as 4 or five members, while others are thirty or forty members strong.

Do I need to join a tribe, or can I just attend Wasteland solo?

Come solo, with a few friends, or whatever suits you. Joining a tribe can make the Wasteland experience much more enriching, and be a great benefit to groups with with cohesive ideas and vision. Tribe membership is not a requirement. If you’re interested in joining up with an existing tribe, check out our official facebook groups Wastelander Central, Wasteland Basic Training, and/or Wasteland LARP & Lore. (Each of those groups have questions you have to answer and group rules to agree to before you will be considered for admission. So please make sure you answer all questions appropriately. There is also the official community Discord server, which has channels dedicated to Wasteland Weekend (and our cyberpunk sister event, Neotropolis).

How do we form a tribe?

Chances are you’re already attending Wasteland with a group of friends. Start there. Think about what influences your vision of a post-apocalyptic world, and how you might survive in it. Movies, literature, video games, all shape how we view life after the fall of civilization. A brainstorming session with your future tribe mates is the perfect beginning to a post-apocalyptic tribe. Be sure to review the official THEME rules to make sure what you want to do will be allowed at the event.

Do we need to register our tribe?

No. You are free to form a Tribe, and buy tickets to attend Wasteland Weekend without official approval.
No application, no paperwork needed other than event tickets- just form your own (or join) a post-apocalyptic themed tribe.
But, the Tribes that want to be in the Theme Zone and placed on the official event map, and get permission to set up early must apply.

No. Tribes do not automatically receive early access to the event.
Only approved Tribes are eligible to request Early Access (EA) passes to set up their areas.
Any Tribe member WITHOUT a valid EA pass may arrive at 7am on Wednesday, September 30th.

Can my tribe get placed or reserve space before Wasteland?
