Hi guys,
I hope all is well? I have not posted in awhile but have a question:
I’m not sure if this has been covered before, but I am trying to locate forums or resources with reference to live music where I can connect with other like-minded people. I heard recently about the issues disabled music fans faced at the download festival earlier this year, which was shocking!
Replies appreciated. Thank you.

I am not sure where else to go but since this is a disability forum I will try to answer with my own personal experiences!
I am lucky in that I rarely have mobility issues unless something is flaring, in which case pain is the main issue. Many festivals of course take place in fields, which are rarely easy to over for someone in a wheelchair I imagine.
As someone with IBD the thought of being far from an actual toilet (not a porta-potty) gives me pretty big anxiety. I also lived in Scotland for a while and the 2 cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow had some great music venues, but in buildings so old that it was so difficult to make them accessible that few actually made an effort.They/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with
