Didn't manage to get in on saturday evening due to its popularity. The was over a hundred people queing to get in, while standing in the rain. It was a one in one out policy by the bouncers, so I did a pub crawl around leeds instead. Was looking forward to this festival for a while so its a bit of a shame. Will have to wait until next year for my festival pint glass from Leeds
