Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

This event was really disappointing - from a 2 hour queue to enter the venue with a huge risk of crowd crush, to not being able to get into the main room due to a mass off people trying to squeeze through a bottle neck double door. It felt unsafe, I missed everyone I wanted to see and all in all had a crap night. Was so gutted as I've loved printworks for years and I had such high hopes for drumsheds. By the looks of things it was a once off for this venue but honestly I won't be going back :(

Two hour queue in the cold rain without warning, or bathrooms, was appalling.

Review of Drumsheds

Felt like cattle being herd - Unsafe spaces trying to get in and out of the buildings to see other acts is such a bad design.

The speakers had terrible audio - sounded tinny and like there was no sub. Could have been using the ikea sound sytstem for what it sounded like.

My first and last time visiting drumshed - and UKF events.

Drumsheds! Cattlesheds! herded like cattle, from one queue to another. 2hrs to get in from having my tick*t scanned. If you leave a room to go to toilet or get a drink you struggle to get back in the room! been once but wont go again to drumsheds.

Terrible and dangerous event. Music was amazing.

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

A lot too many people and anticipation of the crowd flows were very bad, we waited so long to enter the place and then the same to enter the rooms

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

We queued for two hours and missed the act we came to see - the security were very aggressive. The music was great but the hassle of queueing to get in, queueing to leave, queueing to get into rooms was so not worth it

Took over 2 hours to get in for a 'drug check' which didnt work at all. We were very lucky everyone was in a good mood. 10k people waiting outside in a line in the rain is asking for problems. Missed acts I wanted to see. Really unhappy.

Queued for over 3 hours just to see only half an hour of Pendulum. Complete waste of time, should get my money back really.

There was a significant problem on entering the venue. Between our tick*ts being checked and gaining entry to the venue there was a nearly 2 hour delay. We missed some of the acts we specifically came to see.

Took us 1 hour and 40 minutes to get into the venue, staff were untrained and clueless. Not going to Drumsheds again.

Took 3 hours to get in and missed every set I wanted to see

Review of 15 Years of UKF presents Pendulum LIVE

Absolutely horrid experience. Queued for over two hours outside the venue (drumsheds) and missed the acts I paid to come and see. Security were super rude and aggressive, getting into the venue felt like a military checkpoint.

Awfully organized event. 1.5h queue to get in, everyone just piled up in a narrow street inlet with no water or facilities. Long wait at the bars. Queues to get into the music room!!! Out of the 4 hours I was at the venue, I got maybe 40mins of music. Missed the acts I wanted to see. Sound system not designed for a sold-out event either.

Waited 2Hrs in line to get to security, to then be signaled by a drug sniffing puppy that was just too happy and excited to see so many people. Didnt have anything on me and even if i did, i got put in a second queue where i only had to show my f**king ID, didnt even get body checked for drugs. Ended up staying longer in queue then being actually inside

Review of Drumsheds

Had a terrible time at the UKF event, we missed two artists we came to see due to the ridiculous 2 hour queue, then our overpriced round of drinks was only filled halfway in the cups which has not happened at previous times, after all of this we were not let in to see the headliner act as they were starting as they refused to let anyone in which meant it created dangerous overcrowding with people being tightly squashed together. I bought these tickets as a Christmas present for my friends and we have NEVER been so disapointed going to an event before, I have heard bad things about drumsheds but this was just another level! It’s lucky that no one got seriously hurt. The venue MUST take responsibility for this
