Organisational nightmare (im park)
You would think they have never organised a festival before. I've been to many festivals (Graspop, Copenhell, Roskilde, Download...) and never I've experienced such chaos.
Getting the armband the first day took 3h. We even queued 1h in the wrong queue (like many others) because there was no info, no signs, and no security guard able to tell us anything. At the third attempt we found a (very rude) security that spoke a bit of English and directed us on the other side of the festival.
Once in, they don't tell you in advance that you can not bring a backpack in. They sent us back saying to rent a locker. Problem was lockers were sold out (at 5pm). We then were forced to buy a 15 euro transparent bag. After queueing again and getting in the concert area, that bag broke of course.
The place looks overbooked. There were WAAY too many people for the place. Lines were horrible. Toilet situation nightmarish. We managed to see some music but... not enjoying it.
Even for the water stalls, which were very few, there was a solid queue.
A lot of small annoying organizational failures such as: I was searched by male security and went in no problem with my little hand purse for 2 days. Last day, I was sent back to queue for a female security guard, and then somewhat the purse was a problem (I quote "it was fine before but not today") I switched around until I found a female guard that let me in with it.
All in all: would recommend choosing another festival!
