The Digbeth Triangle Birmingham reviews by real event-goers

A bit disappointing..

I loved the music, great variety to suit all tastes and some great names playing great sets.
I loved the idea of all the different venues, but they were really spread out - and it was incredibly cold (making us stand and wait in the rain to make the queue look good was not fun!) Would be amazing in the summer.
The whole night was ridiculously unorganised. We nearly missed our bus on the way in because we were told to arrive 15 minutes after the driver was told to leave. And on the way back we were directed to the street with all the other coaches, when ours was infact on the street we were dropped off on. Only 6 of us made the bus back (despite waiting there for 45 minutes).
Maps would have been good. Luckily a mate of mine had a map from a random flyer she was given months ago.
Drinks were stupidly priced. The barman looked pissed off at me when I asked where the £1.50 drinks were. Perhaps prepaid drinks wristbands could be a plan for next year? Can't say I was suprised at the amount of drugs around...
I feel as though it started waaay too early. Everyone peeked too soon! Even if it started at 7pm, would be better.
Overall I enjoyed the night, but it wasn't what I had expected. So much for the 10,000 students!!

Decent but needs some improvements!

It was a very good night. Nice to meet random people from other universities and the fact that it is a student party where students from all over the world could come. Only one complaint would be of the security staff/stewards. Most of them did not have much of a clue of what events were happening where. And some of them instead of saying "I don't know" pointed us to the wrong directions and made us join the wrong queues. The Staff on the night should have some sort of induction on the lienup of events and the location. Other than that, A pretty good event!

Music mostly good, everything else terrible

Poorly organised. No maps signs/ security staff didnt have a clue what was going on and were rude. Unsurprising so many people were taking drugs given the price of drinks, I walked out soberer than when I went in. Coach from Nottingham was also terribly organised and reps were drunk and late. "Guaranteed to be the best night of this year" I want a refund for a guarantee like that.

Blok party

sik night!!! killa kella killd it,all bout the bigger than barry venue!!! benga n caspa to finish ma night off!!! need more decent nights like this in brum!!

CRAP

Reading other peoples reviews, I'd like to say bottled water was actually £2, the only drink that was £1.50 was sour shotz - so basically advertising drinks at that price was pretty stupid.

The amount of people I saw taking drugs put me off the whole night - and when I told various secruity guards/police they actually said "how is that affecting you?" Well the fact someone's just said they got spiked on here, was pretty much my point.

Overpriced. Skanky. Unorganised.

(But some of the music was pretty decent)

Good one!!

It was great night, fantastic music and nice people,silent disco was brilliant,a bit gutted about the foam party;/
More signs and maps would be an advantage but nevermind.
What made me laught was the party organisers in silent disco having good fun too.

Cheers for good fun!!

A good night

Music was a really good mix, but i think some people didnt have the festival type attitude. Works well at custard factory but needed more information about, like maps and signs. and next time, release the set times before, how hard is it!!!?

Badly organised, certainly not as good as I expected :(

There were no maps, so nobody really knew where they were going. eventually found Arena 1 which was tiny and crammed. Saw Scott mills and the wombats who were both good but that was about the only decent thing. Drinks were pricey enough, and the entire place seemed so disorganised!! The least that could have been done was sign posts to the different areas, i swear we only saw about 20% of the actual area. Security guards seemed drunk or just stupid. Glad i only paid £20 for the ticket although it still feels like a rip off!

Erm

Very poor

Truly Perfect!

It was literally amazing in every single way! Music was amazing, live acts were mint, bass was just so intense, my heart wanted to explode. All the venues WERE big enough and it was easy to get a drink so i dunno what people were complaining about on that front lol! It was Cheap cheap cheap! and as for the atmsphere, proper electric. Cannot wait for the next one! i am 110% there, Great job with planning etc. Mint Mint Mint!

Mr Hudson was immense!

Love digbeth.. loved the music.. can't wait for blockparty 2!!

where was the foam party?!?!

was very hard to find places to go. bit annoyed that we couldn't find the foam party, even the staff were unaware that there was meant to be one. music was good though.

Not worth the Money

Altho the music was good the venue for the headliners was too small and alot of people couldnt get in. Security staff were agressive, unhelpful and some of them seemed drunk. A map would have been useful as we couldnt find all the venues we wanted - although it was cool to walk around the city at night to find all these random venues it was quite confusing. The bars were understaffed and drinks overpriced (advertising drinks for £1.50 on flyers when its £5.50 for a double vodka/c**e -so whats £1.50...? bottled water!?)Mr Hudson performed 1 1/2 songs... even the DJ looked suprised when he went offstage. I wouldnt go next year... I'd rather spend £20 picking my own 4 clubs to go to... where its not so cold I feel like I'd rather be in a fridge!

Ruined by drug Spiking!!!!

why the fk do you not have police sniffer dogs at entrance???? thanks to this place my drink got spiked!!!!! and suffering from high anxiety and panic attacks my night took a massive turn for the worse!!! i have been up till 7 am having a bad trip trying to keep my self cool so not to incur a major panic attack!! 5 attacks last night in a room filled with dead looking people is not a good night guys!!

As for the music, it was amazing and the venue reflected the mood and worked well!! I would seriously recommend you take your drugs policy more seriously in the future!!!

Reviw

It was alright, no where as good as expected. Sucks that there were no maps. It was a bit confusing to be honest

Not as good as it was hyped up to be.

Block party was no where near as good as it was hyped up to be, still a good night but could of been much better. Really spread out venues with really pushy door staff, bars under staffed and understocked (ran out of most drinks in alot of arenas) no maps to tell you where to go or what to do. I paid ages ago for a super early bird, they were selling them on the door for the same price, so was a waste of my time. I wont be going next year.
