Staying safe
We Are Back: Live is a moment to celebrate, let's make sure we don't spoil it.
We have the full support of West Midlands Police, who are on site at the event to help make sure that you stay safe. We also have our security staff positioned around the festival. You can spot them outside tents, near fences, and at entrance points, plus they’ll be patrolling around the site too.
Anyone found in possession of drugs or weapons will be reported to the police and may face arrest.
Anyone who is noticeably under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or any behaviour-modifying substance, or is behaving, or considered by any authorised person likely to behave, violently, harmfully or in a manner contrary to public order and/or safety will be refused entry to the site or will be ejected from the site.
Anyone who, whilst within the site or vicinity thereof, engages in disruptive, dangerous or violent behaviour including (without limitation) throwing, casting, thrusting or propelling any object at any person, instigates violence, demonstrates racism or xenophobia, behaves in a way that any reasonable person may interpret as provocative, threatening, discriminatory and/or offensive, creates or poses any threat to the life or safety of themselves or any other person(s), or harms any other person(s) in any way, or unreasonably obstructs the viewing of other spectators; will be refused entry to the site or will be ejected from the site.
Anyone ejected from the event for behaviour reasons will also be subject to the Club’s Banning/Sanction policy, as they would be when attending a match or other football event.
Search policy
There is a mandatory search policy in place. No large bags are allowed and all bags must be no larger than A4 size. For this reason, we ask that you be patient while searches are being carried out and avoid bringing large bags to the event. Anyone found with any prohibited items such as drugs, weapons or alcohol will have their items confiscated and highlighted to the Police who will also be onsite. To see the full list of prohibited items, please read our event rules.
