Thanks for the Music!

Overall rating: 3.5  

This was an amazing day/night, the music was amazing I was raving away all day and well into the morning at the afterparty. Admitedly some things let it down like the massive 1 way system where you had to leave the arena just to buy a token for a drink or go to the toilet, to then have to cue to get back in! And when everyone left to go to the afterparty I nearly gave up there was an enormous cue that didnt go anywhere for at least half an hour and nobody said what was going on! All in all the line up and sound system made up for what could have been a disasterous day. Thanks Jamie!!

Massive disappointment

What a huge let down, paid £60 for this event and after party, spent most of it queing. Got soaked waiting for the after party then was told there were no cloakrooms, even though the event advertised plenty of cloakrooms. I often go to FACE events and they have always been good, but this was extrememly badly organised and I would rather take my money elsewhere i.e. warehouse project, who know how to handle a big crowd!

Circo loco

i think the event wasnt the best organised to be honest - the drink tokens and the one way system rule was such a hassle there was a good crowd there (apart from a few dodgey people)which really needs to be sorted for all events because the people that go there for the love of the music it isnt fair! leave your attitude at the door please! the music was obv amazing. big dissapointment that after we left the place at 7pm we couldnt get back in to the arena at 10pm?? even though we had bands and had paid for the afterparty aswell the only thing that made the event was the music and the people i think the rules made the venue a dissapointment

Circoloco Loco in the arena!!

This is definitely one of the best event I have been to Circoloco Loco rocked it! I would defiantly go again if it was held again! The only problem was the after party! The atmosphere was edgy but overall had an amazing time!! Kerry Chandler was my favourite of the night but all the DJ's smashed it up!! Loved it!

Circo Loco main event was awesome the sound system and atmosphere was spot on. Shame about the FACE after party, music was good but the rest was a shambles over sold on the door and pick pockets everywhere was glad to get home with all my belongings. Wouldnt advise Face for a night out.

Rip Off !

No use promoting a massive line up if the event is so badly organised it's impossible to see it ? We queued for two hours to get in, then queued for tokens, then at the bar. Then made the mistake of going to the loo - you had to queue again to get BACK in to the arena. Getting the picture ? We paid for the after party and the queue/crush was dangerous. We left a 2am - feel completely ripped off. I'd demand a refund if I thought it would get me anywhere. Bad event !

Can't fault the music shame the crowd was so **** thieves galore. Hot natured after party more like a black Birmingham crime ring

worst event i have been to. music was obviously decent but the venue was a joke. 5000 people and one entrance with 5gates?!?! wtf!! queuing up for 2hours to get in and then youve gotta queue for arenas and tokens. ridiculous. tickets were 40 notes plus a booking fee, rip off! especially when sankeys is £12 quid! plus it was moody as hell in there, so much for tossing out the idiots. 3/10
