Went to the Arcadia twice with my daughter , first time to see Groove Armada and found the crowd there a bit ott leaving my daughter feeling a bit intimidated after being pushed and shoved, which wasn't in keeping with the other stages where most people were pretty considerate considering the crowds. The second time just before Calvin Harris she was actually pushed so hard she hit the floor by some shitfaced young lady trying to drag her even more shitfaced boyfriend to the front. Needless to say she didn't apologise, killed the evening for us.
Ive been to gigs all my life and just found the Arcadia area having a bad vibe, maybe because it was often late and a lot of people were tanked up and being very full on with pushing and shoving , I don't know , people will disagree no doubt but I stand by what I say.
