Following the success of the 2024 event, Bedlam Events re-engaged The Fair to support the second edition of Otherside Festival.
Of course, we were delighted to return to iconic Rock Farm in Slane, Ireland to support this special event. And, with DJ Heartstring, Paige Tomlinson, Funk Assault and Max Dean amongst those gracing an eclectic line-up of artists, the event was much anticipated by festival-goers too.
The 2025 version aimed to expand on the previous year’s groundwork, increasing capacity from 3,500 to 5,000 attendees and enhancing the experience with a larger big top and a newly introduced VIP area.
As with the previous year, The Fair and We Are OPS were requested to support predominantly in Health & Safety and Operational Planning. Our role included consulting on and implementing updates to the event’s operational strategy and traffic management planning.
New Elements: With the addition of a VIP area and larger infrastructure, our planning had to account for enhanced zoning, crowd control, and tailored access routes.
March Weather: Ireland in March isn’t known for reliable weather, making ground conditions and weatherproofing a priority.
Capacity Increase: A rise to 5,000 attendees meant reworking our ingress, traffic, and crowd modelling.
Transport Management: Similar to last year, all attendees arrived via vehicles – both private and official coaches. However, the volume was notably higher.
Single Access Point: The one-way access route required meticulous planning and active management to handle the added volume of production vehicles, pedestrians, and coaches.
