Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
There was no information in advance about the schedule for the bands. I would not book again without a better idea of schedule or that one would be publshed in advance. The drink prices were high and poor choice. Been to other festivals over the summer with better choice and prices

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
Had an absolutely amazing day however the food and drink prices were hit and miss. I was charged £8 for a beer and my friend was charged £6 for the same beer. And they ran out of most of it around 5/ 6pm
Some of the security Staff were rude and blunt. I asked when I first went in if I could leave at a handful of times to take my medication so I didn't need to carry it around with me and worry about theft or losing it.
They said yes originally and then when i tried to leave to go back to my car the security guard was extremely rude and refused to let me leave with out proof which I did not know I needed, eventually they did agree
The staff also mentioned several times that they had been told several different things and to double check on the website or they suggested asking a certain colleague who then suggested speaking to someone else
The information on this event was poor and they definitely need to update the f&Q's for future shows

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
Staff were rude and hostile, no food or drink allowed on the site but no information about this anywhere. Car parking was confusing.
Line up was extremely late being announced and the poster had different bands to the website.
Once you were in there was no hand stamp or wristband so you weren't allowed to return to your car or leave the venue and return despite it being a 10 hour event.
They put an ice cream truck and tent in the middle of seating areas and in front of the stage so view was non existent from half the venue.
The bands sounded pretty bad and mostly nothing like the artists.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
It was a bit amateur to be honest. The last group - Queen - had great musicians but the sound system was all over the place & the lead singer was inaudible & didn't have a great range. Drinks expensive and the main beer on offer was an unknown brand. Most beer was in cans. VIP area was a joke - felt like you were behind bars at a zoo so we just enjoyed the main area. Food we had from the Nexican was fab. It was worth a go but I'd stick to Watering Hole Events with professional acts.

Good afternoon in the sunshine. The singers/bands were great and we all had a very enjoyable day. The food was very good value for money, only downside was the cost of the drinks. We sat in the VIP area which felt like more of a cage. Toilets were very clean. Everyone working there were very friendly. We were concerned after the reviews we had read but we did have a great time.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
Having to spend an extra £10 to park the car was not a great surprise to start the day. And then I had to pay £6 for one can of lager I thought was a complete rip off. The food, as expected was fairly expensive but not too bad. I'm just glad I never spent an extra £20 to be caged in the so called VIP section. I also thought that the seating area could have been arranged slightly better so that the stage could have been viewed better. There was also nobody to assist in directing the parking of cars in the field, just some guy on his phone saying 'park up there mate' very un professional. I have said above that I would recommend the festival to othersbecause I think with a bit of better management and pricing it could be really good. I realise that things aren't cheap and it's expensive to put on a show like this but I think we get ripped off enough at the moment and the prices could stop people from coming again and then it's just another thing that has flopped in Cornwall.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
I was really worried about this event as other venue reviews were dreadful but it wasn't the case for this one. Really easy to park and get in, very friendly staff, short queues at the bar (although stock was limited) and a good but small selection of food providers (again v short queues). Toilets cleaned regularly. Great atmosphere and the music was great and fun. A real mix of ages in the audience which was great to see. Only thing that would have made it better was some 0% alcohol options. Oh and the VIP section looked a bit lack lustre so not sure if there was any point people paying extra for that. Brill day and eve and such good value.

The only thing I would say is please use smaller barriers for the v.i.p area we hag to look through bars to see the stag felt like we where prisoners, better communication as well as didn't find out about the food / car parking charges until the day before if this could be mentioned while booking so we have all info straight away

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
Very good day out. Music was pretty good especially Abba. My daughter was VERY disappointed that Coldplay tribute wasn't there as it had been advertised. Lots of security making it feel secure. Only comment I would make was VIP's were caged off with not a very good view of the stage!

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
10 bands advertised 6 of them not there.
Tribute bands they weren't!
Karoke at best.
Also they had run out of beer because of the night before so only had an unknown brand of lager with stick on labels for £6 a can.
We, and others, felt ripped off.
No chance of a refund i guess either.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
Awful. Can't believe you couldn't take your own food in and no drinks what so ever. Had to pay £10 for the carpark. Awful sound system. The whole thing was a ripoff and total waste of money! Will never go again

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival comes to Cornwall!
We had a total blast and enjoyed every single minute. The choice of tribute bands were perfect for all ages. The toilets were clean , car parking easy and efficient. The only criticism is not knowing the lineup before hand .
