 Cameron Yeager As my 1st concert, it was epic AF considering the peak popularity of Guitar Hero cause they had a free to play thingy goin on. Saw every band besides Through You and another band called Droid. Didn't see the entirety of Atreyu's or Trivium's set but regardless, I'm glad my brother introduced me to Flyleaf before this show. I also remember not only picking an Atreyu and Evanescence shirt there but I won a free Ozzfest 2005 CD after winning a dart balloon pop game. Need to see Korn again tho so badly.

 Cameron Yeager As someone who received a VIP pass along with my older brother, it was a fun ass concert especially with the specialty catering and bandanas that we received. I also at one point got a free New Medicine branded guitar pick. Only bummer is that Hail the Villain didn't make it on time on play. Cause if they had I would've heard about it. I regret seeing All That Remains since learning that Phil supports the boneless Cheeto of a so called president. Bastard. Besides that, every other band was solid. Whiskey Six was especially badass to see. And seeing the peak of Drowning Pool imo was worth it. Nonpoint did rly well and would kill to see them again. Papa Roach too especially when they played my most fav song Burn. Them some energetic mothafuckas. I did laugh when the singer of Powerman 5000 made a Katy Perry joke. All in all, kickass show. Would love to attend another U-Fest cause I've missed out on a lot of rly good ones. KUPD's Ufest 2011 Aug 25, 2026
 Fraser Allen For a first-time festival, The Great Fete certainly delivered on its promise of dance music on Saturday and indie sing-alongs on Sunday. Better still, it managed to do so without the organisational chaos that often seems mandatory for new festivals. After warming up the crowd with entertaining DJ sets from Craig Charles and Chris Moyles, it was time for the bands. First up were The Hoosiers, who bravely decided to play their biggest hit, Worried About Ray, early in the set. It's the sort of move that can leave a band with 30 minutes of people heading for the bar, but they kept the audience engaged throughout. Covers of Cyndi Lauper and Chappell Roan went down particularly well, proving that even indie crowds know a good pop song when they hear one. Next came Hard-Fi, a band I had not seen for nearly 20 years. To be honest, I approached their set with some trepidation. The last time I saw them, Richard Archer's vocal performance left me a little underwhelmed. Thankfully, any concerns disappeared almost immediately. They delivered an excellent set that reminded everyone just how many great songs are packed onto Stars of CCTV. The newer material sounded good too, which is always a relief. Nobody wants to spend an entire set mentally calculating how many songs remain until the next hit. By the time Feeder took to the stage, I had upgraded myself into the VIP area. This was the 18th time I had seen them and, remarkably, they remain as reliable as ever. If Feeder were a household appliance, they'd be the washing machine that's survived three house moves and still works perfectly. Their set mixed newer tracks with the classics, and the crowd enthusiastically embraced both. Grant Nicholas, now 59, somehow looks younger than many people in their forties and announced that a new album is due next year. The highlight was diving into the mosh pit for Just a Day. As always, it seemed like an excellent idea at the time and a slightly less excellent one for my knees afterwards. Finally, for the 18th time, Ocean Colour Scene took to the stage. They stuck firmly to their tried-and-tested formula, rattling through the hits and finishing with the inevitable mass sing-along to The Day We Caught the Train. There are some things in life you can set your watch by: taxes, rain at British festivals and Ocean Colour Scene ending with that song. One thing I have noticed increasingly at concerts is the wide range of ages in attendance. Younger fans are discovering for themselves just how brilliant Britpop was at its peak, while those of us who were around the first time are discovering entirely new muscles after standing up all day. Overall, The Great Fete was a tremendous success. The organisers got the balance right, the atmosphere was fantastic and every band delivered. Most importantly, nobody felt the need to reinvent the festival wheel. Hopefully it returns next year with exactly the same formula and avoids some of the mistakes that seemed to affect Audley End this year. If it does, The Great Fete could quickly become one of the highlights of the summer festival calendar. Feeder / Ocean Colour Scene / Hard fi / The Hoosiers / Norman Jay Aug 24, 2026
 Fraser Allen After a day of betting on horses running backwards at Newmarket, it was finally time for the music. Having previously attended only the Friday race meetings, it was a pleasant surprise to see just how packed the Saturday crowd was, especially with two bands on the bill. First up were Scouting for Girls, who did far more than simply warm up the crowd; they lit a furnace. Charismatic frontman Roy Stride proclaimed that the audience was the fifth member of Scouting for Girls, and people of all ages happily accepted the role, belting out their biggest hits along with the band. Stride also reminded everyone that the group celebrates its 20th anniversary next year, a milestone that seemed to resonate with many in attendance. After a short break, it was time for my 24th Kaiser Chiefs show. As ever, Ricky Wilson's boundless energy was the focal point of the performance, captivating the crowd from start to finish. While most people were eagerly awaiting the band's classic hits from the 2000s, newer songs such as Coming Home and Hole in My Soul also received an enthusiastic response. Excellent cover versions of Pinball Wizard and Blitzkrieg Bop ("Hey Ho, Let's Go") went down a storm before the band wrapped up the evening with Oh My God. It has now been 21 years since I first saw Kaiser Chiefs live, yet they show no signs of slowing down. One of the most pleasing aspects of the night was seeing so many younger fans singing along to songs that were released before they were born. Perhaps that's a reflection of the modern ways people discover and consume music, where great songs can find new audiences regardless of when they were first released Kaiser Chiefs / Scouting for Girls Aug 24, 2026
