Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!

Overall rating: 4.5 Verified review

I had a blast! Would highly recommend; but I would've liked to have known about the line up prior to the event. My friend really wanted to see Coldplay and I wanted to see The Stone Roses, so was disappointed that they weren't there; BUT the tributes that were there were very entertaining! Thanks for a fun way of spending a Sunday ❤️

Event music wise was good.
However the £10 parking was a big @#ss take every event we have been to at the showground there is never a parking charge! Then a week or so before the event tickets were offered half price!
Big two fingers at those that paid full price!

Everything was great, we were in the VIP section and did feel that the fence was far too high and also we had no free water in our section which would have be good as it was very hot.

We were very pleasantly surprised. It was a very well organised event. The acts were first class, food great and overall an entertaining afternoon/evening. It couldn't have been better, Thank you!

The music itself was amazing, as was the venue, however the beer tent and food were an absolute rip off, my husband asked for cider and was given a can of thatchers, charged £6 when it was from the same pack of 10 in Tesco for £11! It didn't matter what food you wanted, everything was £10 for a tiny tray of food, we thought about going out for food but told by security "once your in, your in", so not a great experience

I hope my feedback is constructive. Having read some of the negative reviews online I was slightly worried beforehand but prepared that some bits of this festival were not as I'd hoped, having paid for 2 VIP tickets many months ago. On arrival there was a little confusion re queuing system and parking. Parking assistants would have been helpful. Yes, as many of the online posts say, the VIP tickets weren't worth paying the extra for as the segregated area left people trying to get a space alongside a high wire fence with no access to the front of the stage. The only positive was the permanent well-serviced toilet block. We spent our day in the non-segregated area and had a great time. The acts were brilliant (we saw all but Abba/Queen, having to leave beforehand due to early start the next day and also having experienced Abba the weekend before at another festival and myself having been lucky enough to have experiencd the real Queen at Knebworth). I couldn't fault the acts at all and they were really impressive and had the crowds dancing and singing along. The food and drink stalls provided variety and we're not too pricey, the two fairground rides were a great idea to add to the atmosphere too. The security staff and all service staff were friendly. The good weather certainty helped to make it an all-round enjoyable experience and yes I would come again!!

Purchased VIP tickets, to which the benefit was own bar and better toilet facilities . Unfortunately you were sectioned off to a side section and no where near the front of the venue. Found the gaps between each act was far too long and the atmosphere dropped, need a DJ. To keep the atmosphere alive.
We also noticed dogs within the festival which I believe were not assist dogs !!!! How come ?

Good music good bands good atmosphere, but the prices of the food and drinks was ridiculous and as you were not allowed to bring your own ,could only feel that was just so the event could rip people off and charge what they like, £30 for 3 cans of cider 1 lager and two half's of lemonade from a bottle.

Excellent value for money but as a VIP our view was restricted by a fence hence the review of venue.

A great evening with good quality music and the staff were very helpful-BUT do not waste your money on VIP tickets for these events- an ugly, fenced off area, appalling selection of overpriced drinks (no Prosecco!) , no food inside - decent toilet but otherwise appeared to give you no benefit for the extra paid!

I did wonder what this event would be like,having read previous reviews at other locations but I was pleasantly surprised! 9 tribute acts,not too long to wait in between each one. Cans of cider did run out later in evening but drinks were fairly 'festival' priced and the take away food was good and varied. Would go again!

Excellent venue, acts (that we saw as we had to leave early) surpassed our expectations...
Ticket prices were a bargain but drinks a little steep but in the round they balanced out the cheap tickets...

Acts performing were substandard compared to other tribute festivals we've been to. The choice of food was poor, especially if you had dietary requirements or allergies. The view from the supposed VIP area was not good. Surrounded by a big 6ft high fence, so you had to view everything through that.
