So sorry to hear of your bad luck, been listening to the updates on 6music all day and it sounds like a nightmare! They shouldn't have moved it to the Glastonbury weekend :-/

Try again! ATP at Butlins is a safe bet

Torbay

As someone who lives on the Island, you are lucky you didn't come on Thursday; the whole place was gridlocked. This was always going to happen as the festival site is entirely in the wrong place and a small hiccough (cars unable to get on to the muddy parking field) has caused a nightmare. Better luck next year
