I'd rather Festivals were prepared for Climate Events rather than Terrorism, it's more likely.
Festivals are more likely to be called "Terrorist" than be the victim of one, see all that crap about Kneecap and Bob Vylan last year at Glastonbury.

"‘Sorry but a festival slot is not the time to do a set full of new songs only,’ one viewer wrote.
Another added: ‘Worst idea ever at a festival.’"
Seriously though, you play the Hits at a Festival because half the audience aren't even here for you, so you need to win them over. And this lady did not.

"It keeps with a pattern of recent Glastos, including last year, in being mostly sunny and dry without extreme temperatures – like 2017’s hottest year on record – or mudslides – as was famously the case in 2016."
Climate Change could kill UK Festivals, but not yet!

I've put all my Festival gear into a wheelie bin and taken via train to a festival (Glastonbury)
Don't let them put you off, they have room for at least one Wheelie bin, make sure it is yours!
