Brilliant time, i was into this music many moons ago, i am still into it, trance is my favourite, however i seem to have got a revival with hardcore, i am not a spring chicken, but i danced all day, and have creaked all week since. 4 out of the 5 tents that us 'normal folk' could go in were busy and the atmosphere was great, friendly. Loved it. I would go again in a flash,

Fantastic, hopefully there will be another event next year x

Review of Back To The Old Pool Festival 2016

Brilliant event really enjoyed the mixture of music. Listened to stuff I wasn't really into and stuff I used to like and enjoyed all.
By end of festival quite a bit of rubbish lying around. I used the few bins provided but probably good idea to have more dotted about all over for next time
Quite happy with the drink and alcohol prices. Not too steep for a festival. Which made me think the organisers were thinking about the punters instead of just profit. Well done should be more like it. Cos with no punters no gigs.

ALTHOUGH WE RECEIVED FREE TICKETS AS WE LIVE ON LAWSON ROAD WE DID NOT GO. THE NOISE WAS SO HORRENDOUS THUMP, THUMP, THUMP WE TWICE HAD TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GO AND DO SOME SHOPPING JUST TO GET AWAY FROM IT FOR A WHILE. I THINK THE WORST NOISE WAS PROBABLY FROM THE FAIRGROUND AS IT WAS THE SAME CONSTANT AWFUL SOUND WITH INTERMITTANT SHOUTING FROM A LOUDHAILER. EVEN IN THE BACK ROOM WITH THE T.V. ON LOUD WE COULD STILL HEAR IT.
THE THUMPING NOISE WAS REGULAR LIKE A HEARTBEAT ONLY FASTER IT MADE ME FEEL AS IF I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK. I HOPE WE NEVER HAVE TO SUFFER ANYTHING LIKE IT AGAIN.

Disappointed I paid £20 to upgrade to VIP not get a lanyard, the toilets in vip blocked all day and night and the ques in vip bigger than the public ques! Defo improvements to be made. For the first one it was good but Defo need to get public feedback for next years to see where they went wrong.

Review of Back To The Old Pool Festival 2016

Had a really good day but the drinks situation was way over priced cost me more to buy drinks than it did to actually buy my ticket for the event.

Excellent day. DJ's were very good. Judge Jules, Sonique and Dave Pearce were the highlights for me along with Fubar.
Only criticism was it wasn't as busy as it should have been which meant a lack of atmosphere. Too many tents and the complex was too big. Would have been better with 2 arenas. Advertise it around the country and get people into the town from other places. Will help tourism, giving priority to local people first for tickets.
