Moved about 50m in 30 mins! 100s of cars idling in traffic, great job with the eco friendly festival so far #ATN19

At standstill here on the way to @alltogethernow. First thing we did was establish a pee corner. #atn19 pic.twitter.com/2HSHHWPVgb

So disappointed with #AllTogetherNow so far – took 6 and a half hrs to get here, no toilet roll in the toilets, v poor signage on how to get to the different campsites. Hundreds of people waiting to get registered for tents. Total mess. pic.twitter.com/Hc8lSj0S8Z

SHOCKING
Hmmm. I’m fairly sure we can classify this one as a First World problem, Smithers!
Who’s headlining? Patti Smith? From their twitters, everything looks very twee and Ryan Tubrityish.
Patti Smith. The National. Hot Chip. And that’s when I stopped knowing who the rest of the people were.
“The cops messed up the traffic system we had last year” said the Red Cross volunteer we spoke to…. it’s a mess.
Drivers are getting impatient… a guard told us that the motorbike cops are being called out to deal with some who are losing patience.
That all said, the guard also said it is the event organisers who do the traffic directioning…
*bangs head*
Ya gotta laugh bhoy! :)
200m to go to blue gate… finally!
You’re kidding – traffic jams into a music festival at a rural location on a bank holiday Friday. Who would have thought this could happen? I, for one, am shocked.
Thing is that there were these electronic signs earlier in the week (tuesday) on the road just at the Roundabout on the New Ross side of Waterford proclaiming ‘All Together Now’, and directing cars onto the bypass. One of the busiest roads that foreign tourists would take from Rosslare. Lost In Translation came to mind. If tourists were intending to go into Waterford city, they may well have thought ‘all traffic this way’, and were directed away from Waterford City.
What do you expect from hippies… it’s really simple to get traffic flow to work.. Neenah Cherry in fairness..
All part of the experience all together now, “what do we want?” “when do we want it?”
Complete Clusterfork. Read Luke Benson’s twitter thread about the queue (the last Tweetererer above). It’s worthy of an article all of its own!
Do people actually read through all these Twitter post? Seems like an awful timesink.
Just opened the app to see who I follow.

*Lols at hipster tragedy
*fiddles with beard
That’s not a real beard. Take it off.
Hearing horror stories….
“Whew. A lot of peeps looking for refunds cause they are still outside. One poor bloke with 2 kids in the car 8 hours. They got greedy and ruined it. Idiots”
“Also seems like the promoters wouldn’t pay the guards and the guards then blocked off a few roads.”
“They also employed the locals last year to steward and didn’t this year. There’s uproar on the roads.”
Fontaines were deadly tho :)
Fair enough BS… they were unconfirmed stories. Let’s hope they prove to be just rumours ! …I hope so :)
Honking the horn. That will make it better.
Thanks for the updates Clampers. Hope it all turned out alrite
