Hi all,

I'm back from the festival and while security may have been the reason given for the change it was to the detriment of the festival itself - I was terribly disappointed especially after all that I had read about previous festivals.

Keep in mind that in its entire 9 years prior to this, not once has anyone at the festival been in any danger, so it leaves the question a begging why change it in this 10th year.

Personal opinion, the 10th edition of the festival was 'hijacked' for political reasons rather than security
