She says there were so many bands she didn't get to see
A disabled woman who visited this year’s Download Festival has shared her heartbreak after having to leave after 24 hours due to the conditions of the event. Die-hard rock fan Koren Miller explained that she was appalled by the “extremely poor” conditions.
"The next thing was to obtain wristbands but while I could get mine, my personal assistant was only given a green lanyard which would not get them into any of the places on the site I would be going. We were directed to the transport hub to enable us to get to the campsite but had to wait five hours in the blistering heat because there were only two buggies in use.
"As I also have a bowel problem, this was not a good situation to be in, and by Thursday I was in so much pain that I couldn't stay and we went home to Milton Keynes - crying my eyes out with disappointment also. One of the main problems was that there were hardly any people available to steward the areas and those that did could not help.
She added: "I so wanted to see Evanescence, Pendulum, Metallica and Slipknot, in fact, I had identified 31 bands I wanted to see, and I couldn't stop crying knowing I was missing it all. It only feels better now because I know the festival is finished and I am no longer missing anything.”
