#COTW 2024
What a festival! From legendary music in the pouring rain to headbanging in the Trailblazer stage, we can't even start to summarise how amazing #COTW2024 was. So we've cheated and let the Wolfpack do it for us!
My first time at COTW and it won’t be my last. All the staff were so friendly, as were the traders, so the audience followed and there was such a friendly vibe throughout the arena. All the bands looked pleased to be performing and got great receptions from the crowds. Sound was perfect, not too loud, not too quiet and clear and perfect timings. The compact arena size meant not losing your yourself or your friends. Food and drink prices not extortionate but very reasonable and good selection. Great festival!
We love the friendly vibes as soon as you walk in - from the security and bag checkers, to bar staff and everyone else. A well run event with 2 main stages so you don't have to move far to catch the next band on the main stage. Plus the tented stage always provides shelter and up and coming talent. We've seen some great bands in the tent. A great line up - bands we know, and some we don't - but we will now follow them! And a shout out to the toilets - cleaned every hour, with toilet roll, hot water and soap. I mean, what's not to love! Great food, doughnuts, coffees, beers, etc etc. We'll be back for a 3rd time next year. A great family friendly event.
First time @ COTW and roll on next year.Wonderful bands,venue,facilities,food,drink and traders. Such great fans and a tremendous friendly atmosphere for all ages. A credit to Dave and the other organisers. 👍👍😁
Great festival as usual by Upstaged. Good band lineup with many exceptional performances including South of Salem and Loz Campbell (twice). Look forward to next year.
I took my husband and two kids (7yrs/10yrs) to this event for the third year running and was not disappointed. The friendliest festival I have ever attended. Music was top tier - with a great selection of bands from various sub genres of good old rock and roll! The food options were excellent (enjoyed the curry and the toastie truck in particular). The security staff were friendly and fun, and the venue perfect for the event. We will be back!
Really can't fault this festival, 3rd time of visiting and enjoyed everyone. The layout is really good, 2 main stages side by side no band clashes. Never more than a 5 minute walk from the arena. Toilets kept clean Food and drink well catered for. Lots of options Only gripe would be early bird tickets would be good if available online rather than venue only
Brilliant bands & brilliantly organised. Our favourite festival by far & we’re booked for 2025 already.
This is a superb festival. Well organised with very helpful staff. The venue is very well suited to that size of the event. The site and facilities were very well maintained throughout my stay. Good food and drink all reasonably priced. Loads of effort put into organising entertainment. Such a friendly atmosphere. Will be returning and would definitely recommend.
Amazing weekend from start to finish! A very well organised and run festival! Brilliant drink and food prices and everything so accessible. Great the car park is next to the camp site so not far to walk with your camping gear. Already got tickets for next year, can’t wait!!!!!
Absolute belter again! Jon, Raz, Dave & Lee did it again! Don’t miss out on next years! Book now!
