GONE are the days when tools were welcome at festivals.

The popular Meredith Music Festival has released its official banned list in the lead up to this year’s event.

D**kheads, kegs and couches are also among the festival staples officially not welcome at Meredith.

And staff will be enforcing the popular no d**khead policy when celebrations kick off west in December.

Security will be targeting hooligans and festival goers are urged to discreetly text a mobile number if they see any bad behaviour.

“If you are a d**khead, this festival isn’t for you,’’ the festival website declares.

“D**kheads or people involved in d**khead behaviour will usually find that a solid citizen will firmly, but politely inform them that their d**khead behaviour is not admired or appreciated.

“The d**khead will usually realise they are being a d**khead and pull their head in.

“If not, our helpers or staff or even security can make a discreet intervention.’’

Stereos can be played quietly in the campground this year, but the beloved bongo was given the flick several years ago.

Campers are also warned mascots, flags or anything on a pole will not be tolerated along with glass, weapons and fireworks.

Music lovers hankering for a BBQ will have to suppress their desire for a steak with people told to leave their George Foreman grills and gas sausage burners at home.

But no doubt a tasty smorgasbord of grub will be available from numerous stalls in the festival ground.

Pet lovers will also be prosecuted, so leave the furry friends at home along with anyone under 18-years-old who intends to drink illegally.

Despite the harsher rules this year, thousands of party goers are still expected to attend the event which includes acts such as Augie March, De La Soul and The War on Drugs.

It was previously reported couches were banned from the event but festival goers can breath easy with only couches on stilts not welcome this year.
