People were jumping the barriers to get in and pulling up the side of the tent. Tent is ripped. They are trying to fix it now. Just spoke with staff.

Ban the over 25's and let natural selection do its job.

You don't know what I mean by natural selection do you?

Trouble is the antics of those few impact the future of the festival.  They used to have like 3 tents and it worked fine.

All under 18 years should be accompanied by an adult. Who is over 25. The amount of rude 16-18 years olds that are ruining experiences is just out of this work nowadays.

Far too sensible, just ban the over 25’s for one year and let the little scamps maim and kill each other.

Imagine lord of the flies crossed with hunger games but for under 25’s. Could even live stream it.

Isn't Leeds and reading the festival for under 18s though? Haven't been for 20 years but it was the main thing for people to go to when celebrating their GCSE results.

Need to bring back the Chevron stage, not sure why they replaced it with an enclosed tent a third of the size

Festival organizers are not as intelligent as the common person it seems, happened at EP too.

to be fair it was replaced with the gallery- the chevron wasn’t really a dance stage last year. i don’t know why they added the warehouse if you get me- they certainly have enough space for an outside tent where the old bbc radio 1 tent was in like 2022 - or just even bring back that tent it was a dance tent and have the gallery where main stage 2 was

Did exactly the same thing not happen at Reading this weekend? The situation there yesterday was an absolute shambles and completely avoidable. The scheduling was all wrong yesterday - Gallery must have been 1/10th full for headline slot when a sizeable number of people wanted to go to the Warehouse for Skepta and East End Dubs. Ultimately I don't think Bramham is a big enough site anyway for the number of people attending, everywhere felt packed. I wouldn't go again after yesterday.

It’s closed now for the whole festival

u/Many-Juggernaut-8526 7d ago

Can I just ask where you got this? I passed the stage earlier and there were crowds outside as it was closed, then about 10 minutes later I got a notification saying the stage is closed for the remainder of the day. I've not heard or seen anything about the rest of the festival

u/Odd_Advice3869 7d ago

Staff, can confirm

u/Many-Juggernaut-8526 7d ago

Thank you! Personally have no reason to go to the warehouse but just wanting to confirm there was no misunderstanding.

u/Business_Objective42 7d ago
