EP Team thank Luton for a Big Weekend!

EP Team had a fantastic weekend in Luton for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Luton Carnival over May Bank Holiday. Over 100,000 festival goers flocked to see an amazing weekend full of incredible performances for the event – including headliners Coldplay, RAYE, and Chase & Status, plus Becky Hill, Aitch, AJ Tracey, Mabel, Vampire Weekend, and loads more in Stockwood Park, Luton. Since December, EP Team have been hugely committed to developing a complex external operation that required detailed and complex planning and required a robust Traffic, Transport and Parking strategy on behalf of Luton Borough Council, Festival Republic and the BBC.

EP Team provided a range of integrated services to Luton Borough Council over the course of the weekend to help keep festival goers safe, accommodate the extra 4,000 vehicles travelling into Luton whilst keeping ‘business as usual’ traffic flowing and the local residential areas protected.

Over 100,000 people attended the event over 3 days with 300 approx staff deployed by EP Team and its Partners.
