Review of An Outdoor Orchestral Rendition of Dr Dre: 2001

We weren't able to attend because they were closing the doors at 5pm and we wouldn't have been able to get there in time. Insane time to close the doors on an evening event!

Really disappointed. Event last an hour and played the same songs on repeat. If they had only played the songs once then event would have been done in an hour.
Total rip off

Absolutely awful. I paid £88 for 2 vip tickets. Was meant to be a full orchestral rendition. It was 4 violinists and a bad Rapper. The show was meant to be 4-5 hours. It was 1 hour. There were no vip perks apart from a shorter queue for entry. I feel absolutely ripped off

The disorganization of the event was comical, the performance and atmosphere was nothing short of incredible. Such an amazing evening, have already made plans to see these guys perform again.

The band was two hours late , the dj played no hip hop what so ever beforehand whilst we waited and the production team was poor the backdrop had nothing Dr Dre or hip hop related not worth the money and band didn't even say sorry for being so late

Was not what was expected at all. Prices for drinks were crazy, the staff were awful.... the actual music... well I wouldn't call it that, was terrible. The quality was shocking. Would not recommend at all. Total waste of money. We plus lots of other people left after and hour and a half. Time was advertised for starting at 6. Didn't start until 8.30 and by then it wasn't worth the wait. Crap.

Terrible event. Advertised as an orchestra and was basically a band. We paid for the VIP tickets - huge waste of money. The additional seating wasn't adequate enough to seat the VIP tickets and they were behind the stage so you couldn't see the act. Wouldn't bother with this event.

VIP area is terrible , you will only get to see the back of the speakers on the stage , only 2 options for a drink cider or coors , shame as it could be a really good venue if only it was organised better.

For the love of god take id!! We were turned away at the que as my 20 year old son was refused. It also wasn't what we expected as we thought it was a classic classy event but it was basically a mini rave in the daylight on the end of Hastings pier. 40yr olds dressed like we were when we were 20, and half gurning and smoking green. It really wasn't what we were expecting

Not an orchestra - was a band and despite the event being advertised as 6-10pm , it was an hr n 15mins performance and then asked to leave immediately rudely by security!

Review of An Outdoor Orchestral Rendition of Dr Dre: 2001

Paid for VIP. Bottom line means you could use a plumbed in toilet and indoor bar. The "vip" section was behind stage so cant see the stage. Bizarre set up that. The orchestral parts were good and would have stayed the full show if it was that and not 2 lads rapping over the musicians like kids putting on a show for the family at Christmas. Speakers system was a bit naff. Show started and the light DJ must have been off getting ice cream or something. He was on the later shift. Everything looks better with a few lights. Atmosphere was odd due to security thinking they was securing area 51. Wouldn't recommend any part of that shambles again.

I say overpriced as the actual music was only for just over an hour. Could have done with support artists. Started late and finished at just gone 9! Otherwise, safe and secure - good venue.

Review of An Outdoor Orchestral Rendition of Dr Dre: 2001

Absolutely superb performance but it only lasted from 8pm - 9pm when the timings were 6-10pm. The only thing before and after was some random sound person's personal playlist! Where were the support artists and DJ???
