Went to watch Queens of the Stone Age. Took a while to find the car park but enjoyed the the whole Circus vibe. Went for the Greggs VIP section which was really useful. Separate toilets and food, it stayed open for an extra hour at the end which allowed the traffic to go so we had a drink, sat and chilled, then went back to the car.
Brilliant event. Great street food. Very expensive "autumn lights". Venue was perfect size for the event, good facilites. Plenty of footfall.
We went to see Craig David here in July, we were very fortunate with the weather so it was an ideal location. The venue was great, not too big so that the view is good. We paid £11 for arena parking which was really convenient and easy to get out of at the end of the night. There were a selection of eateries but we didn't eat here. The drinks were fairly pricey but no more than you'd pay for a concert £6.95 for a beer. There was a free water refill station and lots of toilets (that we didn't use). The staff were friendly from security to the bars. We'd definitely come back for another concert here.
Rock n Roll circus well run. Quite relaxed, with a good selection of acts, music and curcus. Enough toilets, enough bars, an improved food selection compared to previous events. Some excellent stuff. Close to parking at the Arena next door.
Saw Bryan Adams, Newton Faulkner and Mel C . Good night . In big top it was no raping and no smoking , however people still did !
