Absolutely awful event. too much thrash music I was looking forward to the stones tribute band. but because I live nearby I was sick of hearing music by the time they came on. But I did go to see them and their performance was mediocre to say the least. Also took my 9 year old granddaughter in the afternoon. but there was not a great deal she was interested in.
