Anyone else go yesterday and think that 80% of the acts were 'meh'? Including Ed Sheeran

I couldn't hear most of them sing as the microphone seemed to echo and more than half the concert was DJs simply playing music (like my Alexa does...).

A couple of good acts (I now have a crush on Harry Styles) but otherwise I was underwhelmed...

AIBU or just getting old?!

Yes I was there and it wasn’t the best I don’t think I’ll bother next year. Could do without the 4 DJs and Harry styles look liked he couldn’t be bothered. Sam Ryder was fab though ❤️

I loved Sam Ryder too- his voice is actually excellent. He was probably my favourite act and I hope he doesn't become a one hit wonder!

DD is 15 now so next year I think I'll encourage her to go alone!

Sorry to hear this. Not surprised.

Glad I didn’t go, I thought about it but decided against it. Heard Sam Ryder live last weekend on the mall when we went to watch the jubilee concert

I've been to a couple before and really enjoyed them. It's been a 3 year Covid break so maybe I've just over anticipated this one!

Youngest DD is only 6 so I'll probably take a couple of years off!
