Review of In It Together Festival 2024
All excellent except a) drinks prices are high and b) you cant take any food/drink into the main area. Toilet access this year from the main stage was a nightmare owing to the excessive seating areas and lack of suitably designated lanes in and out of the standing areas.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
My first festival and I've already booked for next year!
Very family friendly, really clean toilets and a friendly, safe atmosphere. As a family of four (ranging in age from 12 - 52) we all had a great time and are looking g forward to going back already.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Security on gates weren't very helpful the Waterloo area was a waste of money no disabled showers in the family area and no one to monitor where or how people were putting up tents taking up massive spaces where more tents could go while others barely had room to put guidelines out
Prices were high but as to be expected from a festival
A lot of people felt the music Saturday wasn't the best but Fridays was better
However overall I loved the event and have tickets for next year

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Need a speaker at the top of the hill in front of the main stage sound was very poor up there. Unless the venue size gets bigger don't oversell tickets it felt far more crowded than last year.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024 (Extra Listing)
It was our first time at IIT and we travelled from Manchester, we had a fab time. I personally think the venue could be larger for the amount of people that attend. The prices are a little over priced for some things as a single mother I had to keep tabs on when we could buy and do. But other than that we had an amazing time and would definitely come back.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Ill start with the negatives and finish on some positives. I've been every year since the very beginning and it has clearly grown year on year just like every other festival. Unfortunately, I feel the festival has now reached its maximum capacity as there wasn't enough room for all the campers (an overflow field had to be opened)
The campervan area was oversold. Even on Thursday, it was clear that the allocated area wasnt large enough and with only 1100 power points available many vans went without power which they had paid for . Toilets were scarce and the VIP upgrade showers & Toilets should have been situated in a central position and not literally ½ mile from the main entrance. The main arena (Parc stage) was constantly massively overcrowded and many people were pushed to the edges where they either couldn't see the stage or couldn't hear the music. This in turn made it very difficult for people to enter and leave the area. Travel to the venue was chaotic with local police having to step in to control traffic. The search areas were inconsistent - sometimes you could bring in soft drinks and snacks and other times everything would be confiscated and thrown in a bin. The sniffer dogs weren't much use as the whole festival constantly smelt of marijuana. It's become quite obvious that this is no longer a family friendly festival where kids are safe, it has slowly turned into a cash generating, teenage, hedonistic and slightly uncontrolled and unsafe environment. A lot of promises were broken, such as the official app that was supposedly launched 4 days before the festival but never actually made it to the android play store and was extremely glitchy on iphones with people unable to log on and set time were incorrect. The headliners aren't exactly cutting edge (most were big 3 or 4 years ago) and you won't find many international acts here either, so you'll never see the likes of Taylor Swift or Beyonce.
Now let's have some positives. The small amount of standard showers that were dotted about were excellent with good pressure and hot water. The Toilets were immaculate and rubbish was constantly being taken away keeping the site clean and tidy. All the staff/security were helpful even though they didn't always have the information you required they attempted to assist. Prices for tickets have obviously crept up but only by a small percentage also food & drink in the venue has remaind at a similar price year on year. The kids area (the wonky lizard) remains to be great entertainment with a massive variety of shows and good organised seating for kids and elderly. The whole site is very well lit at night and zones are clearly marked. Overall a good value festival if you get the Earlybird tickets. Personally the positives still outweigh the negatives so I'm going to see what next year brings. I hope the event organises learn from this year's mistakes and don't get lose sight of their "family friendly" tag line.

Review of In It Together - Add Ons
The posh loos were in a terrible state, don't purchase a wristband as complete rip off, there is an attendant on the free ports loos, they were clean and with loo roll.
Way too many kids running around, deck chairs and picnic blankets with fat parents gate keeping, the deck chairs were a risk and they should look to renting chairs in a specified area.
Music levels too quiet, you can hear chatter and the smoke machine an above the music.
So may tweenagers, I mean sooo many, all without parents. Where they give you your band to put on your self then Tweenies and teenagers were sharing wrist bands to get in to festi and asking random adults to let them enter festi with them.
If you are looking for a good music festi then this is not it. IIT need to decide if they are catering for teenagers or the GP.
They need an over 18's area inside the festi grounds, however, they have an adult camping area for what ever pointless reason.
There is no checks on your van as you enter, so fill your boots with whatever you wish to bring in, but bear in mind you will need to consume before you enter arena.

First time going to the unit together festival we loved it!
Only down side is how over priced drinks are! Some bartenders are charging different prices for drinks everyone we went to was different each time.. We was buying the same drinks.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Rewind tent facing away from the main stage as the base could be heard more than the main stage from the outskirts of the crowd. Maybe use many flags to indicate chair free zone in front of stage as well. Announcements telling the crowd where chairs are allowed and a few metal paths to the standing area easier to see and keep clear. we love dancing and sitting down in between acts . Brilliant festival. Food and drinks abit expensive if you have a family as you can't bring anything in , maybe allow cartons of drinks or an alloted amount of food for families.?
