Of course, it's likely to be very busy around the entrances. So, to avoid peak crowds, Solidays advises festival-goers to arrive at the gates before 6pm on Friday. For Saturday and Sunday, the festival is recommending that people come without bags, so that they can pass through the " No bag " lines (small fanny packs or small bags allowed) and " save time at the entrance ".
