TomorrowWorld leaving punters sleeping on the roadside

Uncomfortable sleeping positions and chilly, wet nights can be a downside of festivals, but all the music and partying more than makes up for that. Having the former without the latter is no fun, though. That’s many Sunday ticket holders had to go through at TomorrowWorld in 2015. The festival claimed adverse weather conditions made the car park and drop-off locations inaccessible, meaning only people already camping onsite could attend the final day. The shuttle buses arranged to take punters staying away from the site were also cancelled, leaving hundreds of people stranded outside the festival site in the rainy night with no shelter, food or water. One attendee liked the situation to a refugee camp. Check footage here.
