Bloody hell, hope everyone's OK and they'll be able to salvage the rest of the weekend

[Kempleton]

Has everything been cancelled until further notice?

 

I took the coward’s way out and went back to the hotel.

 

I may return in an hour or so.

I think you'd be mad to get back at it tonight. 

[LBare]

We are back in the hotel (with festival view) and Mordor is still closed at the moment

I am, unfortunately for myself, my family and everyone who knows me, quite mad.

Is it really that difficult to update people on what's still on, what's cancelled and what is still a doubt and being considered?

Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!

You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...

[joozy]

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.
