Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Chase and Status performance was EPIC, however there was a 40min silence before they started where the set team were preparing for the main act. Viewers were all sat down, scrolling socials etc lol we checked the line up and this was a scheduled break in performances. They could of had an MC or had someone like Mo Gillian entertain the crowds whilst we all waited.
The line up schedule was a little back to front. Andy C at 3pm when the venue was at 40% capacity then cheesy music to a DNB crowd at prime time.
The music was louder at stage 2 than main stage. When you sat on the hill the main stage music was very quiet we could hear much clearer second stage on the hill.
Great venue, and of course as soon as Chase and Status started all else was forgotten. Still buzzing now. Take me back

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Unfortunately we queued over 2.5 hours to get in, not sure I've ever had to wait that long to get into a day event. Bars also ran out of beers/ciders by 7.30 only had spirits left which was disappointing. Good selection of food. The negatives are outweighed by the acts though who all had great sets. Enough space to sit or stand to watch.

Fantastic Day/Eve
Would definitely book again and recommend vip too. Would of been nice if the vip section went slightly more infront of the stage so we could see better but all the acts were amazing

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Living in MK absolutely love it when big concerts happen at The Bowl. Got my partner VIP tickets for Chase&Status as she loves them. Although the music was not my favourite I thought the main event was superb with a brilliant atmosphere, although personally I found having to be in the venue before 4pm made it a really long day. VIP was spot on much better than last year at Muse concert only downside was getting to the line for VIP entry was so busy and when we walked forward to get to it many people were getting upset that we were pushing in. Plus side was the location of the area great space with decent view of stage. All in all excellent day I enjoyed it but my partner absolutely loved it and that was main objective.

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Terrible queuing system for entry. Took almost 2 hours stood in the heat on a bridge before we even got into the queue for the entrance. Was very cramped, no security in the queue and no idea how long we were going to be there. Chase and status were great which made it worthwhile in the end.

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Sadly, after it taken 2 hours 45 to get in, the anticipation and excitement had gone for everybody. I'm unsure why the Bowl had decided to change from the old entry system but it did not work and completely over shadowed what could have been a brilliant evening!

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
3 hour queue to get in was painful. If you have a cutoff time to get in the venue of 4pm then expect everyone to turn up at the same time and staff accordingly or put a later time and spread out the entrants. Bars also ran out of certain drinks by 6pm and could have been much quicker with service. Get rid of cans and move to 2 pint cups. Music was great and so was atmosphere, just a shame we had to wait so long to get to it!

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
Loved the venue once we got in however queues were terrible and waited so long to get in. Prices for drinks are also expensive but I suppose that's standard for concerts

Review of Chase and Status Live - Milton Keynes Bowl
The day was really good however there seemed to be no communication between the event organisers and the people letting you in. I received an email saying what could and couldn't be brought in, even saying that the weather was expected to be warm and sunny. Stated in email that you can bring sunscreen in, which I was pleased about as I burn in even 18 degree weather. When I go through to the people on the gates. I get my unopened factor 50 sunscreen taken off me. When I said it was allowed in as stated on the events emails, they persisted and said no liquids allowed, however the guy next to me was allowed to bring in about 3 vape liquid refills! Thankfully the first aid tent was dishing out sunscreen and was very surprised when I said I had my own taken off me. I would recommend seeing chase and status and going to MK bowl as it is a great venue, just a shame about the rude guys on the gates.
