There are some additional security checks between WV and the festival. They are pretty random, and definitely not as thorough as the initial check from car park to WV campsite, but they definitely do happen. 

I also have heard that the lock ups are a great place to leave any items you don't want to keep taking to and from the festival site.

Que?

You're not allowed to smoke in the pre-erected camping? Not even the wackki tobakki? 

This is troubling news, as a Academy Award winning actor I need my creative juices to be flowing at all times.

 

Yeah I guess u can, but he likes a bit off wacky backy, I just thought they do searches in and out of WW

Sorry if this has been asked already but how easy are WV tents to get? Is it something that I might miss out on or will I be ok providing I'm ready to go at 7 tonight?

I know the coach priority thing is a new spanner but going off of previous years...

They will sell out in around an hour. Your odds are good if you're ready to go but you might not get first choice.

However, we're in unchartered waters with the coach ticket priority and Sticklinch changes this year. Good luck!

They do. I got searched once on the way in this year. Went through my wallet etc.

Did you make the joke "There's nothing in there, I spent all my cash on a bellepad"

Definitely would have distracted them from the abundance of drugs up your back passage.

So this thorough search was in between WW and the festival, top of the steps somewhere,? or when u first entered from the car park

they do the usual bag searches between car park and campsite, just as between general car park and general campsites. like general camping, these searches are very lax in my experience.

at the bottom of the steps at the fence/pedestrian gate, they check for wristbands, sometimes they do proper searches. in 2017 we got properly searched, pat down, pocket checks etc the first time, I saw a few people getting more thoroughly searched off in a gazebo to the side.

every other time though, it was just a wristband check from what I remember.

if you have anything, just crotch it, or stick it in your sock, before you get to the bottom of the steps, and then take out when you're through and at the longdrops just inside the fence.

Do u rekon you could use something like this, maybe attach some tarp to the existing canopy, just to waterproof the canopy area at  the front of a tent, maybe extend it out a little so somewhere to sit, nothing major, or impeaching onto someone else spot or a walkway

Apologies if this has been answered before. If I was to book a tent plus parking and subsequently cancel. Would I received a full refund minus £20 administration fee per unit for the tent and parking. Or does the refund just cover the tent booking?

It's outside Strummerville. There's a security check there to get into WV, checking wristbands and the odd search of orifices.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
