Preparation for the festival relied heavily on volunteer work. In 2010 there were a total of 2,500 people volunteering for security, stage hand, drivers, kitchen duty and post-festival cleanup.

Hove consisted of several different areas such as the camp area, festival area and "zero" area. The camp held up to 10,000 campers and was open throughout the festival. The festival area, including the shopping street, was open to everyone who had a day bracelet or festival bracelet. The zero area, which has several fast-food shops, was open to everyone with or without bracelet.

The festival had three main performance stages: ''Hovescenen'', ''Amfiscenen'' and ''Teltscenen'' (tent stage), with ''Hovescenen'' being the largest. One of the more prominent acts at Hovescenen was [[Muse (band)|Muse]] in 2010.
