  • A guest 20% for Gabrielle · Sat, 29 Mar 2025

    Left the show early. Had expensive front row seats and couldn’t see the show as fans from all around the arena were allowed to stand and dance in front of the stage. Security tried to control this behaviour but they were stopped from doing their job by Gabrielle. We understand what Gabrielle thought she was doing in saying don’t touch my audience to security and allowing them dance but she totally got this wrong. We paid for seats close to the stage and because of her actions couldn’t see the show and had to leave early. 3rd time seeing Gabrielle but won’t ever go again. Very disappointed. Also while the tickets were sold as VIP the VIP gift was a cardboard wallet with a photo inside!! Save the environment don’t bother with this in future. In 40 years of regular concert going from Tom Petty to Andre Reiu I have never walked out of a concert before so congratulations Gabrielle.

  • A guest 100% for Johnny Logan · Fri, 01 Sep 2023

    The show was absolutely brilliant. Johnny was amazing - he most definitely 'still has it' - and his voice has not aged at all. He did a really good show and was full of energy and emotion! HMN during the show brought me to tears.... and at the end of the show brought us all to our feet! Really great night out. He's a national treasure and we lucky to have him!! Xxx

  • A guest 20% for Jon Hopkins · Fri, 06 Mar 2020

    Really disappointing - the equipment failed at the start, but when it started working it wasn't much better. Cliched dance tunes that failed to mix with his more "classical" pieces. Great shame because I think Jon Hopkins is much better than this concert indicates. (The support was truly awful).

  • A guest 40% for Disclosure · Tue, 28 Jun 2016

    Uninspired selection of warm-up artists + Disclosure came here after Glasto with a weak performance... far from ideal. Some signs would have been very useful to tell people that there are 2 different queues for ladies / guys at the entrance, instead of a couple of bullies with uniforms screaming at people. I had a hard time enjoying the concert :/
