At One point I thought they were filming the walking dead.. was ok but the weather ruined it .

Review of 51st Festival 2023

Me and my girlfriend who is c.6 months pregnant turned up to the venue at about 5:15 to find a huge queue which was never going to get in for the 6 o clock last access. Mayhem broke out and me and my girlfriend were caught up in the mayhem, the police had to help us through. Considering her condition, my girlfriend was reduced to tears. Once we past this first barrier we were advised by the police that it was unsafe for her to enter further as the crowds were out of control. We went last year and were greatly looking forward to this event but it has been a terrible ordeal.

The VIP queue was not moving. Lots of people pushing though the queue!
Not for me thanks.

Review of 51st Festival 2023

It was very disappointing at the being because the gates got rushed
The security and police had no control and I had booked a vip ticket and couldn’t get into vip

Review of 51st Festival 2023

Poorly organised. Especially the queue with rude people who all pushed in

Review of 51st Festival 2023

VIP area was not worth the extra, queues to get access in and out of specific area, toilets unattended and a mess, overcrowded and badly organised- treated badly by staff.
Completely over sold, over promised and didn’t deliver 😞

The car parks we’re so far from
The festival… the house music tent only being accessible to vip which was annoying

Review of 51st Festival 2023

Crowd control was poor on entry, gates were rushed leaving us with no access to our VIP bands. Could not access any VIP facilities. Many people not checked so could have got in free, or may have had weapons on them so did not make you feel fully safe. Place was too muddy, each tent not well sign posted for line up. 51st need to do better!

Rain changed the mood so no where near what it typically felt like

Review of 51st Festival 2023

My first time at 51st state festival and I absolutely loved it. The queue was long but moved quickly. All the staff that I encountered were friendly l. The only disappointment was the cost of food and drinks. Extremely over priced. That’s said I enjoyed it from beginning to end, I’ll definitely attend next year. Well done for organising such a brilliant event !!!!!
