Every great festival relies on more than just outstanding music and electric performances—it depends on the dedication, energy, and passion of countless volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes. At Ayclive 2025, our incredible volunteer team stepped up once again, playing a vital role in delivering a safe, welcoming, and unforgettable experience for all our festival family.

Photographers

Capturing the magic of Ayclive 2025, our photographers worked tirelessly to freeze those special moments in time—from energetic performances to joyful crowd scenes. Their sharp eyes and cameras tell the story of the festival in vibrant images that will be cherished for years to come.

The sturdy fences around the venue kept everything safe and secure, thanks to the hard work and precision of our fence-building volunteers. Their early starts and attention to detail made sure the site was ready to welcome thousands safely and smoothly.

Technical Support

Our talented technical support volunteers were the unsung heroes, ensuring all sound, lighting, and equipment ran flawlessly. Their expertise kept the music flowing and the stage alive, overcoming any technical challenges with calm professionalism.

Crowd Control

Managing large audiences with care and respect, the crowd control teams helped keep everything moving safely and smoothly. Their friendly guidance and steady hands ensured that energy stayed high without any hiccups.
