Longitude Has Issued An Apology After Overcrowding At The Entrance To Yesterday’s Festival

Revelers at the Longitude Festival in Marlay Park had to endure long delays yesterday as large crowds arrived early in order to get in before everyone else.

Unfortunately, pretty much everyone had the same idea and a number of folks weren't happy with the long waits and overcrowding.
