They should ensure the security of personal belongings while on route to and from and during the event i.e. purses/wallets/tickets/mobile phones. The promoter accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen items.
• Any form of anti-social behaviour, crowd surfing, moshing or public urination will not be tolerated. The promoter reserves the right to refuse admission, or to remove from the venue, anyone taking part in these activities without a refund.
• Please move slowly and quietly when exiting the festival site and co-operate with stewards' directions. Do not rush the exits, hang back until the main throng has dispersed for an easier journey home.
• Please co-operate with stewards and Gardaí and follow any loudspeaker announcements.
Gardaí will operate a zero tolerance policy regarding alcohol consumption in public areas and any illegal or anti-social behaviour.
A spokesperson said: "We urge all festival-goers to respect local residents and their community by not littering, not urinating in public, not engaging in anti-social behaviour and by not parking illegally or in residential areas. The stewarding and security measures being taken are for the safety of all."
All attendees are advised to use the Longitude bus services or public transport to get to the show and anyone travelling privately is reminded to allow at least two extra hours to and from the venue.
