Manchester Academy Manchester reviews by real event-goers

Review of Manchester Reggae Festival

The Artist tried there best, but the venue and sound technology let it down. We had to wait around between each act's for the band's to set up on the only stage they had. Everyone we spoke to had the same complain about bad night was. We deserve a full refund .

Great day,fantastic vibes,awesome event

Review of Manchester Reggae Festival

Ratings guided by the fact that tickets were purchased on the strength of 2 main headline acts that then didnt play - Black Uhuru and Inner Circle. No replacements, no refund. The 'festival' (joke) was advertised around 3 stages. After the cancellations, everything was placed under one roof.
Facilities were poor. One food outlet (and therefore an hours queue) , and everyone penned into a small outdoor coral. Prior to the event, we were sent an email advising no admissions after 4pm and no readmissions. No one onthe door advised us otherwise.
The acts that played were good and the crowd were magnificent. But a long afternoon and evening without food.

Review of Manchester Reggae Festival

The venue was a let down too many people for the size and facilities needed more food stalls but overall had a brilliant night and would definitely go again but make sure I eat beforehand.

Artists was cancelled. And it was just in 1 room. We was made to believe it had different rooms

Review of Manchester Reggae Festival

the venue was too small, food and drink overpriced. too hot. wasn't much of a festival. music was good but wasn't planned very well (long gaps in between that sometimes were boring and a few artists didn't turn up.
