First time attending Solfest and De La Soul we’re the main attraction for us. Shame they were a no show. The libertines delay turned out great as we went to see china shop bull instead and they were great. Great festival nice vibe throughout don’t change a thing. Might make it back in 2024. 😀

Vibes, food and drink could be cheaper. Alcohol I can maybe understand but soft drinks?

Awesome event! Would definitely go again. Great for all ages as something for everyone. Toilets got a bit grim at times and food prices really steep but apart from that brilliant!

Excellent security

good music lottery winners stole the weekend
Live in vehicles were too closely parked
Overall a great family friendly
All the people who are adding negative reviews should maybe stay in their houses next year
Well done Solfest👏👏👏

Programming was questionable. Ocean Colour Scene sounded amazing but zero stage presence. Libertines were an embarrassment- whose idea was that? They are well-known for being shocking live and lived up to that rep. Meanwhile- lottery winners were brilliant even though I don’t love their music, they are brilliant to see. Dub Pistols, Undertones, Futureheads all tucked away on that terrible stage with the bar blocking the entrance from main arena. Kids area brill but as a parent, you want a kids area in sight of main stage so you don’t miss anything while kids are entertained. How about in sketchy beats tent which is too loud near main stage anyway. Sketchy Beats is lovely - put it where Solway Bar stage is or maybe where Drystone is? Nice chilled area for art too. Melodrome lovely as per. People smoking in tents is 🤢🤢🤢 Wasn’t sure about Hive set up at first but was excellent. Put live in family in Day Parking - quieter and nearer arena - and day parking where quiet camping was. Then quiet camping on live in family bit. Trolley Hire for the win. Superb festival, wouldn’t miss it and live a solid 4 hour drive away. But please if you can manage it, no more bloated dad rock headliners even though I’m huge fan of libertines and OCS. An Danssa Dub were ace. Bit sad to see Sunday pm ceidlidh moved - that was always a good bit of bringing everyone together which is the best spirit of the festival

I've been many times before and it just wasn't the same. The drinks were rubbish and cider ran out before 4.30 on the Saturday. I was being served medium sized glass of Aldi wine 175ml but charged £8 for a large!! The food was extortionate. There was no effort to keep costs down. The posh showers weren't working Saturday morning and I wasted 2 hours of my morning waiting for them. Dry stone stage set up was not as good at it used to be and there wasn't a good range of music. Family camping lacked water points and was on a steep hill.
Positives were: The Undertones, Ocean colour scene and The lottery Winners. Gave up waiting on the Libertines and they sounded poor when they finally started. Some areas were set up well, the healing area and some of the dance areas were good. The welfare tent was a gem!

Probably won't come again. Which is as shame, as I've been coming since 2007, with a few years off around 2016. I was excited to be back but it did not live up to expectations.
