Word on the field

“The atmosphere was one of the best we have ever experienced at a gig — friends were hugging and dancing together.”
Bring The Noise UK · 2024 ↗
“Everything felt inclusive for all, with a special eye on making sure that families felt they could come.”
Fox Reviews Rock · 2025 ↗
“Getting in and out of the arena is very smooth, I was only given a very cursory search most of the time... Toilet queues, especially during the day, were pretty long.”
