Review of Existance Festival 2024
I had a great festival. Music and atmosphere were spot on. I do have a few fairly minor gripes though. The infrastructure was lacking somewhat. The festival was advertised as Thursday to Sunday. I arrived on Thursday only to find no access to food or bars and, most importantly, no access to running water. If I pay £150 for a festival ticket, I don't think having access to drinking water is a big ask.
The security were, for the most part, friendly although the amount of times my bag was searched was quite frankly, ridiculous! Something like seven times in one day.
At one point the security searched my bag and found 2 cans of cider which they informed me I was unable to take into the arena despite the fact that I'd actually bought them in the arena not 20 minutes before. When I explained this they seemed to understand the absurdity of the situation.
To summarise, the organisers should focus more on infrastructure (particularly on a day when the festival is supposed to be open) and less on pointless, nonsensical security procedures. Having said all that though, I had great festival and would probably go back.

Review of Existance Festival 2024
Great music, lovely people, once the team get to know the venue better I'm sure it'll be even better laid out next year, just seemed like a really big, flat, open space for such an intimate event.. but had a great time

Review of Existance Festival 2024
Great music, lovely people. Organisation was pitiful. I was in the live in vehicle area, which should have had no tents or cars in it. It was full of tents and cars, as well as live in vehicles. People urinated and defecated in the area, because there were no toilets. Had they been guided to the appropriate area, there would have been the facilities they needed.
The music, the people there and the atmosphere were all fantastic. Just needs more attention to the needs of the various guests to make it wonderful.

Review of Existance Festival 2024
Existence looks like one to watch! In its second year and although the venue was different this year party was still excellent, despite some logistical challenges on the ground. If they can get settled and find their real home I feel the whole festival has superb potential. The crowd was phenomenal. We will return!

Review of Existance Festival 2024
Just incredible. They really upped the production level this year, much more stalls and the addition of the chill out area was a real nice touch. Decor was awesome, really came together at night. Music could have been louder and it was a shame the music didn't start until 4pm the Friday but all in all just a fantastic weekend and I can't wait for the 3rd installment next year!

Review of Existance Festival 2024
Second year and they are really doing their best! A few hiccups but really not too much of an issue. Would be nice if there was a fire pit and some hay to sit on in places. Maybe spread the stages out a bit more in future (get that super fast bottom left one as far away from humans as possible) and a bit more space to sit down. Otherwise we loved it!
