Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

My wife and I and the friends we went with thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, it was a very well organised event. The only negative for ourselves was the large queues at the bars, it was taking up to an hour to get drinks!

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Was a good show....
Chris worked hard for his money.... few acts didn't turn up. A bit of going through the motions from Five ( there's only 3 of them now )
Lightening seeds were good sounding.

Would have been nice if Chris had done a later, or last set..

We had a good time ( I'm not as grumpy as i sound .... honest )

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Arriving around 30 minutes before start and entrance experience was good.

Bars
Awful... Over 90 minutes wait at times. Prices ok for beer.

Entertainment
Felt like day was too long with some acts not really needed. Think more people would have stayed to end if didn't start so early as better acts on later into the night.

Sound quality good.

Staging and lighting good.

One problem seemed to be lack of pre event collaboration between acts which resulted in the same songs being repeated...alot.

Got tired of oggy oggy oggy by 5pm.

Chris Moyles seemed like a blagged set, loads more 90s diversity could have been played.. More fun cheese from 90s would have suited his set... Venga boys, scooter, macarena that sort of thing.

Basshunter - great voice but too OTT with the swearing and obscenities.

Sash, Dave Pierce and Five were the event life savers in my opinion.

Toilets not good.

Good security and presence of first aid.

Litter clean up throughout really good too.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

I had vip tickets but didn't get in till 2 due to no ticket scanner, hour queue for food then they ran out, nearly an hour and half for drinks.
Music was amazing and Chris was brilliant.
Would go again but maybe a different venue

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Chris Moyles himself was fantastic as were the bands who bothered to show up. However, it wasreally disappointing that two bands advertised weren't there. The queue for the bar was 50 minutes long at best and I missed the whole of The Lightening Seeds set as I was in the queue for all of it. There was limited food on offer and kiosks ran out of food. The event wasn't even full capacity but as a venue they were woefully unprepared. The day itself was enjoyable but it was let down with the organisation from the venue.

Great evening, main issues ques for the bar and waiting time for food.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Music was very good but overall the event was ruined by the lack of catering services, spent most of the time standing in a que. I Will not attend another event at the county ground unless I see adequate changes.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

The show itself was very good. The event was hugely let down by the complete lack of bar staff and variety of food and drinks available. Took over an hour to get served. Glad it wasn't sold out as it would have taken even longer. Food options were pasties, hot dogs or sausage rolls which just was what the venue had on any other day.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

The bar queues were bad and VIP toilets meant no portaloos but only 3 cubicles to about 100 women.... The music was a fun trip down memory lane though!

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

The organisers should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Queues of 2+ hours for a drink at the bar - to then receive a warm flat pint. Two food options - display temperature pasties or service station hot dogs. Acts not even showing up. A massive failure on behalf behalf of STFC organisers. It's beyond comprehension why they did have more food trucks brought in and have more staff brought in for the bars. The event was open from 2-11pm - what did the organisers expect 3000 people to eat and drink all day? Baffling.

Absolutely shocking atmosphere to expect those acts who did show up to play to - felt very sorry for them. They really tried their best to get the crowd going and they can only be commended.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Was a great atmosphere and weather. However the Swindon County ground made a major c**k up by only having around 8 people serving at the bars resulting in 90 minute plus queues which meant we would have spent more time queuing than watching the acts. So we left after 2 hours (75% of that just stood in a queue). Will be trying for a refund but won't hold my breath, and will never attend any event at this venue again including football matches which I was interested in giving a go. Hopefully they will get relegated to non-league and go out of existence. Good location to knock down the stadium and build a few houses.

Review of Chris Moyles 90s Hangover

Waited 1 1/2 hours in a queue to get some drinks, missed several acts including Five because of this. Not enough staff behind the bars. Very frustrating.
