Review of Playground Festival

Lauryn Hill is a pure fanny.

Review of Playground Festival

We were there on the Saturday and Lauryn Hill really ruined it for us. Felt there was far too many DJ sets to justify the price of the ticket.

Review of Playground Festival

I feel like the festival was open to a lot of criticism but me and my friends had a fantastic time and would definitely go again!

Review of Playground Festival

Nice venue, good layout. Bars absolute shambles. Prices took the piss as well.

Review of Playground Festival

Great atmosphere and bands. Queues and drinks on offer let it down and the night I was there wasn’t even that full.

Great event, Atmos marked down for an undeservedly small (but very appreciative) turn out for The Pictish Trail.

Review of Playground Festival

Nice spot for a festival, but pretty poorly organised. Beer queues huge. Poor supply of water. Late opening on first day. But friendly and relaxed place. Not many neds.

Review of Playground Festival

The queue to get in because they had run out of consent forms was an irritation and there was no toilet roll in many of the portaloos by early evening. The thunderstorm and resultant mud was difficult to contend with with young children, but clearly unavoidable! Fairly long queues for food and bar at times, but not the worst I've experienced at festivals. For us the whole Lauryn Hill debacle was the nail in the coffin. We left just as she came on as the children were so fed up by then. Lack of lighting on the way out, combined with the mud made for a very tricky exit.

Review of Playground Festival

Very poor organisation.
Dreadful Saturday headliner (Lauren Hill).
A great opportunity missed.

Review of Playground Festival

I was there from the start on Saturday. I thought Fauves were brilliant but wasted at such an early time. They should have been on much later. Lauren Hill was an absolute joke

Review of Playground Festival

Incredibly disappointed that the headliner for Saturday chose not to appear until 22.40.
(& De La Soul finished their set at 21.00)

Review of Playground Festival

Really enjoyed the day but was really disappointed at Lauryn Hill not bothering to turn up on time as usual. I don’t live in Glasgow so had to leave to get transport home. Only disappointing bit of the day.

Review of Playground Festival

For a festival in its first year, I was impressed. It was a great crowd and setting (not too busy etc) prices were usual festival prices, great rating choice and a good variety of acts (bar one very tardy Ms Lauryn Hill). Hope it returns next year!

Review of Playground Festival

I only attended for part of Sunday, early with my young daughters , and after 6 for a band.

I have worked at amd attemded many festivals and what i can say is the stewards were extrememly helpful, especially making it easy for me to get back in after dropping my daughters off.

Not the usual jobsworth animals.

Would be very happy to return with my girls next year.

Only issue, and given the family nature, not enough alcohol free drinks, sold out.

Review of Playground Festival

We are feeling really disappointed after Lauren Hills shocking performance. Money spent to see a performer who couldn’t be bothered to show up

Review of Playground Festival

Good venue with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Most of the music was fantastic, especially Craig Charles, but Lauryn Hill showed up for just 20 minutes of a 90 minute set (and then had a 20 minute tantrum, singing with anger and contempt while gesticulating furiously at her unfortunate crew.) Not the fault of the organisers, but still a huge blow to those of us who paid to see her. I would hope that organisers would think twice before booking her again.

Review of Playground Festival

Poorly organised. If any, worse than the last attempt with Fiesta x Fold!
