Reviews
"Amazing evening at the Bandstand. What a fabulous experience. We saw Belinda Carlisle and were right at the front. The atmosphere was fantastic. So electric and comfortable, even when it started to rain. Downside is that drinks are on the expensive side, but the same at any concert venue. Would be happy to go here and see a brand or artist that I wasn't even a fan of just for the experience again. By far the best concert venue I've been too. Felt very intimate, rather than a big venue where you can't see the stage or watching the artist or band on a screen. Looking forward to seeing more acts here. Highly recommended!"
"It’s in such a good spot I wish they did more live events there, hopefully they will! Erm, but have more staff for the mobile bars, the queues were horrible"
"Great music venue with good sound and facilities a really fantastic pace to see live music. Will certainly be going there again"
"Went to see Suzanne Vega open this year's Summer Nights series, good concert with decent sound quality. Nice and atmospheric sitting outside and not crammed full. Great venue as long as you are lucky with the weather."
"Had a great night at Dr Hook on Friday. The event was well set up and very well organised. Shame about the rain but when you live in Scotland it's a risk you take going to an outdoor gig!"
