- been to loads of open air gigs this is got to be the worst gig I have been too everyone was drunk /stoned /pilled up throwning beer and urine - when the gig was stopped (twice) fights broke out and police were having to come in I would advise not to get there until about 6 - disappointed am definately claiming my refund Cheers Liam - Noel

- I would defo get there before 6 - you need to get one of those wrist bands so you can get to the front. I stood outside on the edge for the whole of Kasabian then tried to jump over when Oasis came on, eventually sneaked in the entrance, but its bloody crap if you were on the outer barrier. Brilliant performance from the boys though...

- was really good but like on the other post some idiots are pricks throwing urine and fighting
