Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
Loved this event! Got my early bird tickets in January!!! First time to Garon Park, parked away from the event for ease for getting out later-went with a really good friend, cool security staff, we bought our chairs thank God useful for in between moments - Reggae Roast very entertaining, Bitty McClean was ok, DJ playing soul before the main act - a nice mix, UB40 ft Ali Campbell awesome! Would have loved to have heard Breakfast in Bed!! Well done would love to know about future music events , thanks Skiddle!

Review of Garon Park
Went to see UB40, paid for VIP and the venue was awful. VIP area was packed and did not offer my idea of VIP, over 40 mins wait for toilets, fights and drunk people who were just looking for trouble, really spoilt the event. Also UB49 played for 1 hr at the end of the night, not enough for being billed as a UB40 event. Good over priced and not very good. Bar had no stock and advertised products they did not have, will not be returning to such an event. Security didn’t manage the trash better, just let them carry on fighting and left them on sight where children and people actually there to see the band were impacted! Very disappointed!

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
The event was marketed as in a big top tent. I've been to this place before and said huge tent was in place. There a small shelter at the very back to the right behind the food outlets - all 11 of them. Which did not have a view of the stage. Needles to say it rained heavily followed hailstones. The event started at 2pm. The first artists, kind of rapped over other artists recordings for about 4 hours... overkill! There were two supports acts and a short UB40 set in an 8 hour period. These events usually have at least 5 bands. The tickets were around the same price as Forest Live, but their headlines played a full set. This didn't happen in Garons. Ali Campbell was on form, but he didn't address the audience at all.

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
There was no merchandise to buy.
It was the same artist singing for hours before Ali Campbelll came in stage. Ali Campbell did not speak at all, not even thank you at the end!

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
The music was one of the best concerts I have been to, but the event was ruined by awful, rude, aggressive gypsies, who seem to great pleasure in taking advantage.
Disgusting behaviour and only very few challenge it for fear of reprisals.
Itâs such a shame that the scum bags are growing in number. I wish they had just kept to selling clothes pegs and lucky heather in Basildon town centre.

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
Paid a premium for V.I.P. There was more vip tickets sold that the premium facilities were able to cope with. A 30min queue for the ladies toilets is not acceptable. There were only 8 cubicles when there should have been at least 20. There was no separate vip food stand and basically a poor set up for the price. The main event lasted just over the 1hr yet you had 2 guys over singing a DJ set for 3-4hrs. No large TV screens like there has been before so the people at the back will have seen even less for their money. An extremely poor event.

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
Easy to get in, friendly security staff, although it was very busy the queues for the bar and toilets moved quickly. Garons is a great local venue, just wish UB40 played for longer.

Review of UB40 featuring Ali Campbell at Garon Park Southend
The main set barely lasted an hour, no information about the event and venue was available. The place was a mess with prices being ridiculous. Paid £90 for two tickets to watch UB40 for less than an hour, in an event that was from 2pm-10pm. Certainly will not make the same mistake again.
