Times Square Newcastle reviews by real event-goers

Review of Shindig Pres. Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Anfisa Letyago, Anna Tur

Great DJ’s horrific venue. Have been to events at Times Square in Newcastle before and they’ve always been really well run. This was atrocious. Event was clearly massively oversold and understaffed. Heard from Thai view from many at the event so it wasn’t like we were just picking faults. Queues for drinks were over two and a half hours long. I think the idea was that one half of the event would use the toilets in digital club, but security closed this for sometime meaning there were only half the toilets for the event which meant people were just using the floor and makeshift walls to piss on. If it wasn’t for a quality Carl Cox set (didn’t manage to see Adam Beyer as was in the queue for a drink for his entire set) this would have been a total write off.

queue for the toilets was a joke, 45 minutes for a toilet shouldn’t be a thing

A very dangerous environment to be in . Not enough outdoor toilets . 90 minute wait for water. Toilet cue outside was worse. I got trapped inside the club trying to get to the toilets there was no light on and people were falling everywhere. I informed 2 security personnel then left

Really worth it!

Absolutely disgracefully ran gig. So bad we left before the headline act. The venue was overbooked. Severe lack of toilets, people were urinating against a wooden fence. We were in the queue for 45 minutes for a drink and moved about a meter. We will be looking into this further and requesting a refund once I’ve had a good look over the consumer rights act.

Carl cox was mint, venue was overcrowded

The event in terms of quality DJs and production was exceptional. It’s great to see an event of this scale happening and Times Square is a brilliant idea as I understand a club is not financially viable with that lineup. However it could have been handled a lot better in terms of toilets and bars. I queued an hour to get a drink and half an hour for the toilet and therefore missed the majority of Adam Beyer’s set. I do not understand why all the bars and toilets were not open as this would’ve solved the problem. Other than that the event was brilliant, Carl Cox delivered as always.

Amazing event! Music and atmosphere was surreal. Drinks prices were a little high but that comes hand in hand with an event like that so no complaints. Worth every penny!

You should consider getting more bars for such a big event. The waiting line was for 1 hour, which is totally unacceptable.

Review of Shindig Pres. Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Anfisa Letyago, Anna Tur

Your bar and toilet situations was very poorly organised. Having to wait 45 mins plus for a drink and being constantly pushed and shoved ruined parts do the day. Also the toilet situation at the beginning of the event was a death trap. If it wasn't for the music the event would of been quality crowd quality needing sorting

Terrible planning with toilets and ques for the bars. Probably the worst planned day festival I've been to in years.

Review of Shindig Pres. Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Anfisa Letyago, Anna Tur

Men's toilet had 4 pieces in total. Idiot organization. A good party is not the way to do it if you need to pee shouldn't have to wait an hour to stand in line. Drinks wasn't nice either. So never again, thank you
