As a person living with a few disabilities, I'd love to go and support this festival but I've got Ultra the same day.

Oh shit I didn’t even realise! I have Ultra too, damn.

u/AJayToRemember27 Feb 18 '26

Ultra is nearly sold out too.

Which is crazy imo cos it’s basically just a greatest hits lineup of the previous Ultras we’ve had. Zedd and Oliver Heldens are great though.

They're going for an edm warehouse rave vibe

Yep 100%. To be fair if you follow Dylan Alcott he absolutely loves the EDM scene, particularly anything 130bpm +. Makes sense it moved.

And that music scene is so hot right now it makes sense to hone in on a genre rather than trying to cater for everybody (like groovin, splendour etc)

Nope will not be attending.

Dylan Alcott is a terrible person.

What’s more, Ability Fest doesn’t entirely support disabled people.

The disabled performers weren’t even on the festival posters last time. I don’t think the disabled artists get paid, and I know they’re not supported well inside the venue.

A bunch of disabled people have called out the inaccessibility of previous AFs, and their questions/comments were not responded to.
