TomorrowWorld rains out, forced to shut down the last day of the festival.
TomorrowWorld is known for its over the top, expensive production, however, one thing they failed plan for this year is of course, Rain. Over the past 2 days, festival goers have dealt with an unprecedented amount of rain and mud. Shutting down parking lots, evacuating some patrons, and even being scarce on food for their employees, are all unfortunate demise’s we have run in to at the festival.
In an unheard of move, TomorrowWorld has actually shut down its last day of the festival to all outside attendees. The only people let in will be the current 40,000 patrons camping.
This brings outrage to non only ravers, but the employees as well. There is limited access everywhere. It is clear that SFX in no way had a contingency plan for the weather, despite knowing well in advanced that it would be a wet weekend. We are all very disappointed, to say the least.
TomorrowWorld officials took to social media today for an official statement:
Friends, Today – Sunday September 27 – Mother nature has decided otherwise… TomorrowWorld will only be accessible to visitors currently camping at DreamVille.
Continuous rainfall over the last three days has severely limited capacity of the parking lots, entrance roads and drop off locations in and around the festival site. The experience of the TomorrowWorld visitors is always number one priority, so TomorrowWorld was forced to close all daily parking lots and drop off locations.
TomorrowWorld regrets that festivalgoers with day tickets, guest list tickets, and anyone not already camping at DreamVille will unfortunately not be able to access the festival.
The last day of the festival will go on for the 40,000 visitors already situated in DreamVille, with David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, and Martin Garrix all on deck. More information and refund policy will be available soon.
