Radio 1's Big Weekend Preston 2007 Reviews
Newest Review: ... to the bouncers and in we went. Once inside there was 3 arenas, basically the main tent (Main Stage), a smaller tent (In new ... more
... music we trust stage) and an outdoor arena. We looked about the stalls which included merchandise, food and drink and plenty of toilets. The queues for the drinks were very large and took a while each time so we got a few drinks each and headed over to the Main Stage.
First up we had a listen to natasha bedingfield, not my kind of thing but to be fair to her she sang well and although she was up first people seemed to like her with people singing along to her well known stuff.
After her the fray and the twang ...moreCustomer Radio 1's Big Weekend Preston 2007 Reviews (3)
