Review of Playground Festival

I loved every minute, I thought all acts were superb and the staff I encountered were brilliant, the only thing that let it down was Ms Lauren Hill , up to that point it was a 10/10 for me 👌👍😁😁

Only went Friday , long queues at bar at least 1 hr then straight to groove armada so didn’t really get to feel the atmosphere beforehand. Groove armada were fantastic as always and if it wasn’t for them ( and the good company I was with!) it would have been not very good.

Sunday
Great family event!
But more benches, more signage to food, don't run out of draft beer, gin tent open earlier, cans and pints at the same price- a wee bit cheeky...
Hay was a great shout at boggy areas👍amazing food choices (from vegetarians!)

Great that there was shuttles into city centre but nothing to East Kilbride so shuttles in that directoon would be grrat - happy to pay in ticket price.

Top music and a great event... we will be back!

my friends and I had waited all day as a great fan of Lauryn Hill and were so disappointed at her lateness and general attitude. the festival organizers need ensure subsequent headliners are as high profile but don't do this or people just won't attend these festivals.

Went Friday only. Loved the Cuban Brothers and Groove Armada were outstanding! Bar prices were out of order and the queue to get them was the worst I've ever been in. Sort that out please! Thank you.

venue was well set up. prices were very expensive compared to other festivals around Britain. Bar was poorly set up on the friday, took 40mins to get served and after that was still a wait to actually receive the drinks. Food stands could not pay by card and there was little or no forewarning for this.
Line up was ok and I knew what i was getting except for the bar and the food.

There were a few teething problems on the Friday night but it was nice to see the organisers take action based on the feedback provided and make improvements for the rest of the weekend.

I am sure that next year's festival will be even better!

Review of Playground Festival

I thought the Lauryn Hill set was poor because she was so late, and felt disappointed.

Review of Playground Festival

Not the venue fault - went to see the main act of Lauren Hill, however she was a diva and only came on at 10.40pm and the show finished at 11.15pm. Was a let down as would have been worth it after the rain and thunder early on the evening. The prices did not justify what we saw as should have said an appearance of Lauren Hill!

There were a few teething problems, such as not enough bar staff, warm drinks and no ice, however this is to be expected for a first festival. It had a lovely boutique feel. The atmosphere was fabulous and Groove Armada were fantastic. Will definitely be back next year.

Django Django were brilliant. Groove Armada too. Hot Chip got a great reception.

Great venue and atmosphere. Has the potential to be a great festival. We attended on the Saturday which had a few hiccups. Arriving at 5pm there was limited types of drinks available at the bars by 8pm there was only flavoured cider(one kind) and lager only. Having to wait an hour in some of the queues for drink was no fun. An undercover area at the big feed area would have been fantastic in the downpour(lets face it we are in Scotland) lets plan for expected rain.
Lauren Hill was a joke and only embarrassed herself. Think its time she stopped touring on that 20 year old album!!
Maybe have lighting along the pathway to get out of park at the end of the night would be helpful.
These are all small issues and overall we had a fantastic day at the festival and cannot wait to see what next year brings.
