Great line up but too much drum and bass when reggae/dancehall should be focus. Venue also needs seating areas.

Great We had an amazing time. The music, Jerk Chicken, drinks tokens all the entertainers and the atmosphere was fantastic. The rain did not stop us having fun. A great way to celebrate a Happy Jamaica Independence day

It was a wicked weekend as always.
The location of the Milton Keynes Bowl I didn’t like, Campbell Park layout was better. At Campbell Park it’s easier to move between the stages. This year was to much downtime between acts, no filler of a DJ keeping the crowd going - this could be local well known DJ’s doesn’t have to be big names

The entrance queue on Sunday (entrance at taxi drop off) was too long, it took us around 40 minutes to enter, so we missed the Wailers. Not sure what took so long as we were not really searched. There could have been more planks on Saturday because it was very muddy and some precautions taken because it was clear days before the festival that it would rain on Saturday. On the main stages, there were a few very long breaks, could have been shorter.

Everything was amazing except the queues on entry, it was too slow. We arrived with more than enough time but still missed Janet Kay and Carol Thompson which we was really looking forward to. All because the queue was. Moving too slow.

The weekend was decent however the VIP golden circle killed the atmosphere it should be have been a small area along the front of the stage so it doesnt look empty other than people sitting on chairs.

They need to seriously have a word with the sound engineers on main stage as could hardly hear the artists at points and when you could it was muffled

The bar prices were a joke, £6 for cans and £2 for half pint of bottled c**e is not on also no variety, cheap spices rum as the only rum at a reggae festival is not on especially when it's £7 a drink. Appleton, Mount Gay, Wrey and Nephew even a selection of Havana rums.

The golden circle and sound quality made the main stage soul less. I do feel Last Year at Campbell Park felt alot more friendly and welcoming
