DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A popular Des Moines music festival plans to check all bags as part of increased security at the event. The Des Moines Register reports suggestions for heightened security at the 80/35 music festival started last summer, when the event had overflowing crowds. Festival organizer Amedeo Rossi says bags checks will be required at the six entry points throughout the festival grounds for people who want to enter the event.
Bag checks were previously only conducted when entering the paid main stage area of the festival. Attendees were allowed to roam throughout the free areas of the event without being checked. Rossi says some fencing will be used around the grounds to ensure that bags are checked.
