Biohazard

Overall rating: 5 Verified review

Biohazard were amazing! The set lasted an hour which would ordinarily be judged as a little short, however, the energy levels never dipped. It was fast, frenetic and fu**ing awesome. There wasn't really a stage as such and only minimal security so the band and the crowd merged into one moshing mass, each and everyone Down for Life. To the uninitiated the pit might be intimidating, but the raw energy in the pit is what makes a Biohazard gig so good and if you fall, you'll be helped straight back up. I just wish that more people had been there to get the Biohazard experience. I've followed them for over twenty years and would recommend them to anyone that loves music with a hardcore vibe.

Derek

Overall rating: 4 Verified review

DJ Derek was wicked. Loving his quips between tracks. Wasnt keen on the whole thing tho, crap beer and kids spinning round. No atmosphere.

Wicked sound systems, shame it finished early.

Overall rating: 4 Verified review

Went with a mate after loving both of these sound systems at Outlook festival, and being in need of some sound system replacement therapy. They didn't disappoint, and really bought the bass!

There were a few let downs; all beers had to go in to plastic pint cups - no bottles so lots of spillages on the dance floor. There was quite a big police presence outside which seemed a bit excessive to start with but then seeing the amount of people rolling around because they were so out of it, maybe it was justified. The venue probably could've handled some of the people a bit better and maybe it wouldn't have been shut early.

Beer was only £3 a pint though and the music was absolutely on point. I probably wouldn't go back to Zoo but I will be keeping an eye out for more of these guys' sets in the North West.

nance40's Review of Tunes Your Nana Might Like at The Zoo

Overall rating: 5

We were told on the way in Klashnekoff wasn't on & Kyza in his place plus a free party was to be organised to make up for it tho we collected tickets on the door so not sure how this is gonna happen? Nice one tho Zoo staff for saying..
I really went for the Nextmen--having listened to them for years & missing them at The Academy last time
Awesome mixing, great range of music and above all they really look like they're lovin it!
Crowd was lively, friendly & loud

Great night...what more can i say

North35's Review of Tunes Your Nana Might Like at The Zoo

Overall rating: 4.5

Quality night, dissapointed klashnekoff didnt turn, would like to know what The Zoo are going to do about the fact that it wasnt mentioned untill just before he was supposed to go on stage.
Still enjoyed it though, good job Kyza turned up otherwise I would have been well f***ed off!
The dub step was quality!
