Bit worried that the security queues could be insane. ...given what happened at longitude and some of the English festivals
Yeah that was a bit of Self and Hafety madness at Longitude alright, rain and muck would be the cause of Y Not Festival, for a fest going ten years they must have not had rain for the decade as the bands for the main stage and their equipment could not be brought through the festival as the clowns had no idea about roadworks or one way system to the stages, because of muck and they decided to cancel on Sunday so that they didn't have to give the full refund. Boomtown apparently had a scanner failure on Friday causing an eight hour queue delay. Apart from that a few small indie festivals in Ireland had to cancel because of the costly H&S measures oh and an acrobat was killed at Madrid's Mad Cool festival NOW here's Bob with the weather.

Some of it is down to economising on staff by the organisers. .....i think Reynolds ran it better than Benn. ....longitude festival hassle was caused by chancers rushing the gate.....but there should have been two ticket checks.....Plus the small bag rule is in their interest. ....It increases sales of booze and food0 -
