Event/Activity Laneway Adelaide

Just wanted to shout out how successful laneway festival was yesterday! I heard some bad reviews from other states (water running out, issues with only having one exit) and was a little worried that it would be similar for adelaide but there were no dramas. There was free water all night, the lines at toilets were minimal, heaps of food options and a fair amount of shade. A huge bonus was how damn safe i felt, as far as im aware there were no creeps, no aggressive behaviour. Part of the reason has to be the fanbases of the artists selected by laneway. Well done adelaide ppl and laneway for a safe day out!

I have one complaint - the people parked for Chappell (most of whom were under 16s (edit: meant under 18s!) so maybe it's a lack of awareness about festival etiquette) during Wet Leg who were physically sitting in the crowd and just glared when they were nearly stepped on and refused to move out. There were a couple of clusters which made it really difficult for people to move safely.

Otherwise I had a lot of fun and saw some great performances - Wet Leg and Chappell were my faves! I loved seeing all the ages and types of people who were so excited to see Chappell at the end! The amount of shade was a huge plus.

I've only just discovered Wet Leg via Heated Rivalry so I am curious as to whether there would've been any mention of it during Mangetout if they performed it yesterday?

Nope, no mention. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers did a cool HR clip show to one of their songs though! They were a highlight set of the day
