But although festival organizers promised benefits including improved security and “reduce queues for the bar and food stalls,” apparent glitches left many attendees tweeting their disgruntlement with the new system after the 2015 event, held June 12-14.
A spokesman for the organizers extended apologies to any who had been inconvenienced by the glitch and noted that festival organizers had made progress in addressing the long lines at the concession stands by adding personnel to deal with the situation.
The three-day festival, which typically draws crowds of an estimated 37,000 per day, featured a long roster of top rock acts in 2015 including Slipknot, Muse, Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Enter Shikari, Black Stone Cherry and Judas Priest, among others.
