Getting ready to Rumba

Promoters of tomorrow's Rumba pop festival at Western Springs Stadium are promising a safe as possible experience for young concert-goers.

As well as being an alcohol-free event, the festival will benefit from a barricade system designed to minimise crowd crush at the front of the arena.

Only 3000 people will be permitted into the space directly in front of the main stage and security personnel will patrol the perimeter of the curved barrier.

Entrances and exits will also be watched at all times.

Gates open at noon. The day's playing times are:
