Aerodrome Festival tightens security even more

Despite the fact that the promoters of the Aerodrome Festival (Prague, Czech Republic, June 11th) have already released some rather strict information regarding what one may not bring to the festival grounds, recent events in the United Kingdom and scares from the evacuation of Rock Am Ring last week, have made then tighten the security measures even more.

Attendees of this festival, which will feature performances of Simple Plan, Linkin Park and other artists, are now not allowed to bring in any sort of cameras (even compact cameras – although cell phones are allowed), tablets or flags.

Aerodrome Festival reveals information about security measures

Due to last night’s terrorist attack at a concert in Manchester, many attendees of the upcoming Aerodrome Festival in Prague (which will feature performances of Linkin Park, Simple Plan, Mallory Knox, Machine Gun Kelly, Counterfeit, Enter Shikari and Royal Republic) raised their concerns about security measures at this festival, which is expected to be attended by over 20 000 people.

Rest assured, fans’ security is the promoters’ main concern and nothing will be underestimated.

Regarding police security, the promoters have announced it will be four times the amount of the festival standard. The police will be guarding both the entrance and the insides of the festival grounds. A commando unit will also be present. At 8am, the whole festival grounds will be closed for any incoming vehicle.

If you’re attending this festival, the following information might be very important to you. To ensure security, the security checks at the entrance will be very thorough: a metal detector will be used, which is why you are asked to reduce the amount of metal objects to an absolute minimum). Any hand luggage brought into the festival grounds must not be larger than 40 x 30 cm.

It is forbidden to bring in the following items: weapons of any sort or anything that could be used as a weapon, selfie sticks, umbrellas, drugs, food, drinks, cameras and drones (only small compact cameras will be allowed). It is also forbidden to bring in pets.

I believe that all of our aim is to enjoy June 11th as much as we can, so I hope you will abide by the security rules. Please check the forbidden items again when you’re packing for the festival and please, be considerate of other festival attendees.
