You call for refunds after "shambles" concert

What a shambles!

That was the universal verdict from gig-goers after an extremely disappointing weekend at Z008.

We asked for your feedback on the event, and boy did you give it!

The three-day gala featured Mark Ronson, and was due to star Dizzee Rascal. But the rap star failed to appear, and there were other mishaps which marred the first festival of its kind at Port Lympne.

Gareth McCarthy from Kent said: "It was an absolute shambles from start to finish.

We had to queue for over four hours on the Friday just to get into the camp site.

"On the second day the second biggest stage was closed due to some problem or other and there was no details of where the acts would be playing, so we missed the artists we had actually come to see.

"The third day we had to queue for over two hours to get into the arena as there was another health and safety issue!!! Dizzee Rascal didn't turn up, Pendulum didn't turn up.

"The food was extortionate.It cost £11 for a burger and chips."

Nathan Davis, of Chatham, said: "It was dreadful, complete waste of money. I want my money back. I have a complaint as long as my arm."

Rachel Collings, of Canterbury, said: "There was bad organisation, lack of security, acts not playing, nothing special for the VIP campers (it was standard camping but with a fence round it), the stewards were not informed properly of where to direct people."

Meanwhile, Jodie Doubleday of Sittingbourne said it was the worst festival ever.

He added: "As a seasoned festival goer (14 and counting) I expected a little something and got nothing. Three hours queues to get in, the second stage closed for two days, acts moved to stages we can't get to - and Sunday was a shambles. Next year call it zoo thousand and HATE!"

Others complained of dirty toilets, and there was a general cry for a refund.

No-one has been available to comment on behalf of the organisers.
