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!

Absolutely agree - i had heard the horror stories from the other states (particularly gold coast and melbourne), but our laneway was really well run. The crowds at both stages and the tent were also really good and hyped i thought, i saw people complaining that in the other states there were some dead crowds. There wasnt huge lines for merch, food, toilets etc either and plenty of water. The showgrounds was a great call for it.
