Review of Detonate Festival 2015

Overall rating: 4 Verified review

Fantastic little festival. We managed to get in before the wristband debacle, got away with just one of our group having no pre paid cash so we covered him. Despite that minor inconvenience and hear about a few peoples pretty major issues, I don't have a bad word to say about the fest.

Brilliant line, solid organisation, good stages, beautiful venue, great food and drink. If the line up was as good I'd definitely hit it up again.

We were quite lucky yo get in early before there was a trouble with connection. I enjoyed the festival. I think there's still lot to improve but it was just they're 2nd year. I found that in bass tent there could have been some better artist to finish the festival. Music was better during the day that in the evening.

- Cashless system needed more testing. Worked well when it worked but there needs to be a redundancy in case of Internet failure. It should not really rely on the Internet, instead a local Intranet.
- Better planning with stock of alcohol. The bars were running out of spirits around 6/7pm.
- Music was excellent, although sound system in the drum and bass tent could have been louder.

Good day, good music! Cashless bands caused problems for many people. Also I had trouble with my entrance ticket, apparently due to computer difficulties

The queue to get in was ridiculous. took nearly 3 hours to get in! Organisation was an absolute shambles and the bar ran out of everything but Export very early in the evening.
Still had a smashing time though, just wasn't nearly as good as the previous years festival

A great day, good step up from last year. Great acts. Although my wristband wouldn't activate and I waited 30mins to get it sorted but I didn't want to wait any longer. Hopefully I will be refunded the money automatically as promised

Great friendly and safe atmosphere. Toilets never more than a five minute walk away great location. New cashless wristbands were great And make things really simple at the bar. First time at detonate but will definitely be making it annual event. Best act of the day wilkinson

Majestic festival with a great compilation of artists and the venue was picturesque. The ticket price was affordable and the atmosphere was electric. Would definitely return next year.

Not happy about cuing to get in for 3 half hours, no body came to tell us what the problem was on why it was taking so long to get into the venue!! Lots of people pushing in the cue!! Really think there should be some sort of refund for the people who where waiting so long! We found out the internet went down so they could not scan tickets or cashless wristbands! So this is nothing to do with us!!! Missed nearly all the artist we wanted to see! So there defo should be some sort of refund for this! Lots of u unhappy people n very disorganized so not happy at all
