Gerard was absolutely perfect.
The only problems were:
The bar in front of the circle, no matter where you sat it was blocking the view.
It was absolutely freezing in the venue.A guest for Fatboy Slim · Sat, 20 Dec 2014

I just loved it' Fatboy Slim', his show was sublime. He create the perfect playground in the dance floor.To be honest, I did not like the other Dj's or their music at all...

A guest for The Pretty Reckless · Wed, 26 Nov 2014
I Love The pretty reckless for many years. But half concert was silent and the ending was finally loud.

I am sure the bands were amazing!!! I wouldn't know though cause the shocking staff and bully "security" wouldn't let me in cause of the PAYED ticket I held! Sad times...

A guest 60% for New Order · Tue, 17 Nov 2015
Why bother inviting an excellent band to support you, and then not only letting them perform at 30% volume and clearly not allowing them a sound check????? Poor Horrors!!!
They had the worst sound I've ever heard. The guitar was practically silent.
Then after the first act, the DJ comes on at almost double their volume?!? It was fricking outrageous!! A total insult to the support act.
As for the main act, I couldn't really hear them so well either as the kick drum and snare were so loud with a huge decay that it masked most of the detail of the rest of the music.
For me it was like listening to a cheesy 4-to-the-floor house beat, with New Order playing somewhere in the background. I was hoping for a bit of synth grit. All I got was a dull 4-to-the-floor bass drum. Was like listening to a cheesy dance mix of every track.
At least had two songs break from it with the Joy Division tracks.
Oh well, everyone else seemed to like it.
