Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

Not a good event indeed.
Horrible sound design and it took forever to get in, we were stuck in the masses for most of time. The floors were overcrowded without much of a chance to get out quickly
- one of our group had a panic attack.
It was the same in February when Chase & Status played...we probably won't fly over from germany again after this

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

Very unsafe venue, queued for 2 hours to get in even though I arrived early as recommended in the email. This was due to 15,000 people attending and only 4 search points open at the entrance. No way to leave the queue at any point if water or toilet was needed. The music was good but I missed most of it due to queues inside and out, security were terrible and couldn't manage the amount of people there, crowding was ridiculously dangerous.

S**t organization and venue

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

One of the most poorly organised events I've ever attended. Almost 2 hours queuing like cattle, unsafe conditions, closed doors to the main room before pendulum came on, security did not explain what was happening, the crowd were not dispersed and this created a dangerous crush. Baffling one way systems implemented at random when trying to navigate anywhere in the venue, forcing thousands to queue and crush down narrow winding staircases. Avoid drumsheds

Review of Drumsheds

2 hour queue after getting there when they said to via email on the day.
The queue was unnerving too as couldn't see anything over the walls/fences and were really packed in with no indication of how long it was or where it was going.
Missed many acts we planned to see, didn’t get into the venue until near midnight, and as there were no toilets in the queue space, we had to then waste more time queuing for those upon entry, and gave up trying to get a drink.
I dont know what the hold up was because the security for me in a large coat and a small bag was to have a quick look in the bag and wave me to another bottle neck of people, no pat down, step through a scanner or anything.
We managed to see pendulum, but the sound was awful like trying to listen to your phone speaker in a busy room. Their stand alone gig back in March was a much better experience. The bars were then closed after their set and we couldn’t get a drink again so left before the final artists even started, on top of missing the ones before. Due to all this most people we spoke to were angry and annoyed, not a great atmosphere to generate amongst 15,000 people?
Really awful experience that required travelling and hotels to attend.

Waited 1.5 hours in line to get inside. Missed half the acts I wanted to see. Even more queuing inside. Absolutely absurd. Don't sell 15.000 tick*ts if you only have 10 securities checking everyone at the entrance. hell no

Pendulum was fantastic as always (and deserves maximum stars, as always. They keep getting better and better after their return back in 2016). Nero was great, a bit low on the volume, first time I see them. We missed a lot of other acts because of idiotic event & crowd management. We had to do IT support on the Android device for the person checking tick*ts because this arrogant, imbecile (or untrained), person didn't know their default device pin was 1234, he didn't know which app was the scanning app, and he didn't know how to turn on the LED light while scanning white paper in the dark. He kept telling me the tick*ts were invalid because he couldn't turn on the light. I was laughing this off until I got into the queue. No information, no toilets, just a queue of doom for the next 1.5 hours. The worst, unsafe, crowd handling that was one just person's panic attack away from being a new "Pearl Jam situation (RF 2000)". Never ever going back to this place, but will go to Pendulum concerts again in the future. The pain of an IKEA trip with a new partner will look like a walk in the park after this experience, so thank you for that part. My group left 10 min. into Knife Party because we assumed it would be a complete and utter s**tshow on the way out and we were absolutely right. This event was a complete and utter scam.

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

This was the worst gig I've ever been to. Almost two hours in line to get in. Massive queues in the venue as well, impossible to move between the stages. Almost 45 mins to get into the main stage.

Enormous rip off, and completely avoidable had there been better planning and more security.
