SW4 Sat
Overall rating: 3.5

Great crowd and lineup but the sound system wasn't loud enough. Understand it's a residential area, but if you are hosting a monster music festival then it needs to be LOUD!

Could have done with hay on the ground to soak up the water and avoid the mudbath in the middle :)

Bit wet.
Overall rating: 3.5

Not the best day weather wise, long gaps between the acts. Left early and went for some noodles.

Perhaps on a better day it would have been awesome but the crowd seemed few and far between and a bit subdued.

Highlight: The Noisettes.

Saturday Line up
Overall rating: 3.5

I must echo what every one else has said.... amazing line up....the DJ tents were amazing absolutely fantastic...few people gor crushed though with everyone panicing because of the rain which was abit disappointing but hey....as far as Armin Van Buuren though...now I'd been so looking forward to seeing him...especially as really he's the one to rival Tiesto if anyone would but i must say i was hugely disappointed...music was way way too quiet...couldnt hear over the crowd conversation...he was only on for an hour and 15-20 minutes...crap set really...not what i was expecting of him...he just didnt seem to be in the mood. shame really but what made my day was Josh Wink...what a DJ!! Well done Josh ;0)

SW4 Review
Overall rating: 4

The only problem was that the music wasn't loud enough! - still an amazing weekend though.
Incredible line up, awesome location and a decent crowd.

too quiet!

Sat was quality but sunday was completley ruined because the music was so quiet! the sound limit the venue set was so low that you couldnt hear the music over ppl talking, massive let down as the line up was so promising....

why haven't i been here before????
Overall rating: 4.5

Brilliant festival, amazing crowd amazing line up only main let down was the sound which i believe was due to licencing constraints, a suggestion for next year would be use function one its quality not quantity that the crowd nees, prices were just london prices, brilliant day, brilliant weather definalty going again next year!!!!

Well Organised (well maybe more staff at bars needed)
Overall rating: 4.5

First time at SW4, very friendly atmosphere. On the whole well organised, nice touches like free festival packs/drinks before you got in. Great, clean toilets. Staff overall were friendly and helpful - we were pretty impressed with this festival - will definitely come again. Music and line up great too!

I was really up for it. Hadn't seen much 'live' music of late, but...

20 years since the beginning of dance music & we are reduced to this.

£40 a ticket, then buy a programme (cynical to not let us know the times for bands for nothing) £3.50 for a can of beer, can't take your own in and this is just the start.

'Get loaded in the park?' what with drugs not legalized and a 9pm curfew!

Really up for Miss Kitten, Peaches, Laurent Garnier & Orbital. But very average really.

Orbital? On the money gravytrain. Were a classic dance outfit. But now, just programming a best of with nothing new, F-ING Doctor Who as a finish, plus truly awful Belinda Carlisle rejig and no F-ING encore.

Music is in crisis & the commercialism of all these events just leaves me very depressed.

Will definitely consider coming back.
Overall rating: 4.5

First time at SW4 and went to GLITP the next day. Getting in was no problem and Q moved fast enough. The festival arena wasn't too big so wasn't taking 20 mins walking from one place to another and the atmosphere was definitely friendly enough.

The bars could be a bit of a nightmare but I usually come to expect that.

Line up was really good so didn't really take much time to stop.

SW4 has been better
Overall rating: 4

Like last year the line-up and music was great. Waiting time to get in was practicaly zero which is fantastic. The thing that annoyed me was the fact that I had to wait 45 minutes to get a drink. I do not understand that they can not het a proper queing system and more staff, because more staff is more selling and more profit.
