Anyone been following this story? Was meant to be going yesterday but went to the Test Match instead.

Remarkable tale of incompetence and arrogance. How this con-man managed to persuade Liverpool City Council he could carry it off could be made into a film.

Yep. We had weekend tickets, got in on Saturday after the delay, there were some long queues, but seemed like standard festival queues. I wasn't drinking do didn't experience the hour long queues for the bars.

Not holding much hope for any refunds but will try

Heard something about it on the radio, apparently the organiser made a very snarky comment about James singer Tim Booth after he commented about the apparent chaos.
Not a smart move for a new festival organiser to make about a band who've been around for many years.
