Review of Monument Festival

Review of Monument Festival

No continuous music between the tents. Bad sound 45 mins wait for each band to set up. Overpriced food not reasonable as stated. Not enough toilets and disgusting state on entry, clearly not cleaned since last festival over a week ago. Headliners didn't turn up. Complete waste of money.

Review of Monument Festival

Totally unorganised, toilets were disgusting and not enough. Drinks were a rip off. Sound in the 2nd tent was dismal. No chairs were allowed in the music tents but there were loads, most of security were kids. People smoking and taking drugs in the music tent. Never again. The kooks cancelled last minute cos of the state of the venue. Luckily other bands were good.

Review of Monument Festival

Drinks and food massively overpriced. The main act backed out less than 2 hours before the festival started, a lot of people just came for the main act. The toilets absolutely disgusting - several cabins had no toilet roll, blocked toilets, and very unhygienic.

Taking the main headliner off on the day of the event is the biggest thing to ruin it, along with the poor venue

Headliners cancelled n not enough toilets

Review of Monument Festival

Main headliner cancelled due to weather conditions which was highly disappointing, large sections had to be closed off including toilets due to the rain and mud (which I appreciate is beyond their control but at the very least put some straw down inside the tents and around the toilet areas to help soak some of it up!) there was absolutely nothing to entertain the kids at all and it was seriously lacking in atmosphere, wasn't worth the 5hr drive to get there sadly.

Review of Monument Festival

It would have been amazing if the headliner didn't cancel 40 minutes before the beginning of the festival, except that and a lot of delays, it was great!

Bar prices were great, good selection as well. Line up was fab, who needs the Kooks!! Site was okay given the weather before and on the day, took half the park home on our wellies but a great day listening to amazing music with cheap drinks :)

Great day , I go on my own and always make friends, lovely setting with penshaw monument in background. Wouldn't call it a rock festival though , no traffic congestion easy to find , great day out

Review of Monument Festival

Headline act cancelled. Toilets and venue were a complete mess. There was no organisation. I'll be surprised if this event continues after this year.
