As part of a wider range of key festival improvements for their return.

The hotly anticipated return of All Together Now is drawing closer and after a two year hiatus, organisers have confirmed they'll be implementing a traffic management plan, as well as an additional entrance, more traffic marshals and live traffic updates for the event. The ATN team said:

We acknowledge the issues from 2019 and our team, alongside our partners and traffic experts, have worked tirelessly ever since to improve the journey to and from the festival for this year’s edition.

• A revised traffic management plan will be in place in consultation with ATN's agency partners and traffic management experts. This plan will be released two weeks before the festival.

• ATN will be provide up-to-date travel news and live updates via their Festival App, Twitter account and local radio.

• Early Entry Camping is now available allowing general, prepitched, and boutique campers into the campsite from 4pm Thursday, 28th July for those wishing to set up camp early. More info is available here. Family Weekend Camping ticket holders may gain access to the festival from Friday, 29th at 9AM.

• Campervan & caravans can now access the site from 4pm Thursday, 28th July.

• For those without early entrance passes, the carpark & campsite will open at 9am Friday, July 29th. ATN have advised that the hours between 9am - 3pm will be among the quietest to travel to the festival.

• The new general campsite location is now within 100 meters from the newly located festival entrance, with two entrances into the main area.

• Boutique camping will now be located next to the ATN Main Stage with the addition of a new bar.
