Feels like a poor line up.

After the farce of last year they promised a stadium worthy headliner. Not sure James Bay is that, if I didn’t have last years tickets rolling over, I wouldn’t have bought tickets.

They are pushing tickets almost daily, it may not be selling well. Could be wrong.

Might get as far as Tom Meighan then pop across. Heather Small and James Bay, no thanks mate.

BB and Wolfie will be disappointed. Someone told them the top act was Al Martino.

Decent day in the end.

James Bay although not my thing, was very good. Ocean colour scene acoustic was superb.

Really well run, a huge improvement to two years ago.

It’s a shame the attendance wasn’t fantastic but they are already selling for next year so hopefully it grows now. £25 early bird price which is unreal.

So much capacity in the stadium, a much bigger name to headline will be needed.

All in all a good day out!

How did it feel in a stadium? For me it loses the day out sat in a park feel and that put me off along with a line up that wasn't strong enough for me.

It's a shame it couldn't stay at thornhurst was a great set up but the connection issues and parking just didn't work unfortunately but a great field for live music.

It felt miles too big, which was obviously going to be the case.

But the flow from the pitch through the east stand concourse to the acoustic tent was easy, that worked well. Barely queued for a drink or the toilet at all.

It probably needs about 10k there to feel justified though.

I would be shocked if they made money on it.

Only about 4.5k there but we had a good day. Didn't stay for James Bay. Couldn't see that following up the energy that Tom Meighan brought.

We thought the same as did many leaving! Just like missing an extra time goal he was amazing, from the first guitar pick to the opening vocal!!
Missed one there honestly! Although it did seam on paper a comedown from Tom. It wasn't.
