Around 100 camping sites will also be available for festival-goers to rent, though no information has been released on campsite packages at the time of writing. The organisers have encouraged those planning to attend to seek out accommodations nearby the festival site as space is limited on the campsite itself.

Tapaufest held its first event in 2014 and held annual festivals up until the onset of the pandemic in 2020. In 2021, the organisers held a virtual Tapaufest featuring 10 acts from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, including No Good, The Panturas, Zee Avi, Subsonic Eye, FLEUR!, Forests and Force Vomit.

The festival also featured three workshops. Bear, the vocalist of Malaysian metal band Defoulters, gave a tutorial on how to scream and growl correctly, while Singaporean graffiti artist Boon Baked hosted a graffiti workshop. Indonesian musician Gogon hosted a cooking show, Sarapan Untuk Juara.
