Everyone heading in will be subject to extra searches of their vehicles, bags and their person.

There’s no excuse for running out of a bevy during Jay Z’s set with the concierge service the festival are doing!
Dedicated staff will be roaming the arena over the course of the weekend, and in exchange for concierge tokens, they can get you up to 4 drinks from the bar! So no chance of missing your fave acts.
Staffs police will be on site all weekend, and they have some pretty sound advice - look after your mates!
Have a great time at #vfestival but know your limits. If you feel unwell get medical help, avoid drugs and don't leave a drunk mate behind. pic.twitter.com/z55hf9Yi8J
