Type “TomorrowWorld” into a Google News search bar on this dreary Monday morning and the search yields a deluge of links compiling everything from angry Tweets by festivalgoers left stranded in the mud overnight, to promises of refunds for those left out. Indeed, Saturday night’s rainy weather created a rough situation for thousands of attendees who were denied access to the transportation they relied on to get in and out of the Chattahoochee Hills festival site.

The decision to limit access to those who were already camping in the DreamVille site due to road safety conditions has left even more attendees feeling jilted. How the situation ultimately shakes out promises to be Atlanta’s spectator-sporting event of the year.

In the meantime, TomorrowWorld’s refund policy is available on the festival’s website.

On Sunday afternoon, small and scattered packs of TomorrowWorld refugees — sporting a universe of multi-colored dye jobs and party hats — passed through Little 5 Points and the Virginia-Highland Streets Alive stroll. Where else were they going to go?

Later, the show went on for the reported 40,000 campers that remained. Heroes X Villains’ Daniel Pollard reported back that the “vibe was good” during Martin Garrix’s performance on the main stage, and again during Guy Gerber’s set on the Boat stage.
