I’d like to see the music at the festival brought up to the standard of similar sized independent festivals. Festivals which don’t feel the need to stop you taking your own booze in, with the obvious intention of then selling you 3.50 a pint beer inside. If this is to be the case, then I feel agrieved listening to an average (at best) band described as “Bromyard’s answer to Coldplay” or some band once described by Zane Lowe as “I might consider givign them another listen” – honestly, the program’s descriptions provided us with more laughs than the music itself. Fair enough, the festival has clearly spent a large amount of the entertainment budget on some massive drum and bass acts – but even that is ill planned, and its near impossible to actually enjoy them without some pilled up teenage idiots flying into you as the area had only one entrance and exit – at the back – meaning access was rubbish and unless you were right in the front, it was pointless trying to get into any zone at all with the, at times, quite decent drum and base.
Loved nozstocks small feel. I liked the fact that it was easy to get back to your tent etc unlike big commercial festival which seem to get far too busy.
Hi Meredith, We’re sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our security. We’ve had a mixed bag of feedback but mainly it’s been positive. Can I ask you to email info@nozstock.com with more details about the experience you had and a description or name of the security person, if you spotted their name badge, so we can follow this up? Of course, we strive for the friendliest, most knowledgeable security here at Nozstock. Thanks.
