Review of Teletech Festival 2024
Had a brilliant time, my only change would be to make the boiler room bigger as I missed an act due to the lines. But I also get why the boiler room is the size it is! Will be returning next year!

Review of Teletech Festival 2024
The line up and music quality was great. However, I was expecting better quality regarding the scenes. Indeed, there was no space in the Serpent one and no remarquable light show. Besides, the heat in the Boiler and Warehouse was insane and some of my friends were waiting in line for 3 hours. I went to a lot of teletech events in France and found a better organisation. Whatever, I had a great time.

Review of Teletech Festival 2024
Went for half the people playing in the boiler room and couldn't get in to see any of them as the stage was at capacity from 4/5 onwards and the queue to get in went all the way back to the entrance.
I feel like they should have used the warehouse for the boiler room.

Review of Teletech Festival 2024
Music and people were amazing at the event! Teletech really pulled it out the bag and the artist turned up insane music!
Unfortunately the venue BEC and security was not adequate at all, boiler the which is the main reason people came as the big artist were there was awful I waited 3 hour in the line then got to the front and security kicked everyone out saying it's closed and then everyone from behind just moved to the front. I asked the thuggish security guard for his name and ID number and refused! Later found his name was Zeb and was the security manger, needs a better attitude was just a bully to multiple people and heard multiple people complain about this, but overall 75% of security were super friendly and helpful really looked after everyone shame about the 25%.
The toilet line was pushed against the wall by security and people were crushed between a fence and wall and started to pass out waiting for water and the toilet, which was awful considering it was insanely hot.
Stages, boiler room was to small and not enough toilet facilities as once left couldn't get back in, and the warehouse was insanely hot and they closed the doors so no air could enter so peoples welfare didn't seem priority after 2300 and man people waiting for a taxi were disappointed they left early due to heat.
Overall good event for music extremely poor for venue and security staffing. Most people only got to see half the event due to poor management of the event areas.

Review of Teletech Festival 2024
Over sold , all the biggest DJs were put on at the same time so everyone had to wait hours to see DJs even if they tried to get in the stage 2 hours before they were on, poor organisation, speakers and sound systems weren't great - speakers weren't working properly for sikoti outside speaker kept going off so you could only hear bass and no treble, same with the speakers in the middle of the room for Azyr , not enough toilets for the boiler room had to queue for an hour twice to go to the toilet and the queue wasn't managed to it was just. 7 rows of people shoving eachother trying to get out of a tiny door . I've been to loads of events and festivals before and I've been looking forward to this one for ages - unfortunately this festival is by far the worst organised festival I've been to I don't think I will
Be going again unless something changes. Boiler room and main stage got so hot people were passing out and people had to sit outside for ages missing sets as it was physically unbearable to be in there - boiler room air con was tiny and wasn't even turned on on the Sunday as the lights were off. I'm gutted because I feel like the festival is carried by headliners but as a whole it was a shambles.
