    5 Stars I'd GATECRASH this party any time 30/03/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything about it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cant think of any

    I am going to write an op about Gatecrasher @ The NEC in Birmingham. I went to an all night - twice yearly - event on November 16th last year! This had to be the best indoor event I have ever been too! Gatecrasher is a club in Sheffield that have BIG resident DJ's such as Eddie Halliwell, Scott Bond & Matt Hardwick. They have one big clubbing night a month and the rest of the month have clubbing parties globally. Gatecrasher is a very big clubbing name and it is known all around the world. Back to the NEC................... Ticket Price - £34.50 with booking fee (my total was £38.00) Venue ... more

    Advantages Advantages choons, friendly people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages drinks a bit dear. ticket prices

    Gatecrasher is held in Sheffield in the Republic nightclub, so i'm not commenting on the festival just the night in Sheffield. Before i went to Gatecrasher i had seen many pictures of people dressing up in funny gear and dying their hair a funny colour. However, there is so much more to gatecrasher than it's reputation gives it. Firstly, although we faced a long queue to get in, this was expected as the event is very popular as is packed most saturday nights. Expect to start queing from around 10 - 10.30pm due to the length of the queues. If your looking for a cheap night then this won't be ... more

    3 Stars Gatecrasher Trance is Pants 11/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Make a friend for the night

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cheesy trance

    It had been a long while since I had ventured back into the sweaty realms of Sheffield's largest Saturday night out, but when I did I was very shocked. It wasn't the atmosphere, it wasn't even the cheesey trance that seems to be prevelent in most dodgy substandard night clubs you may find yourself wishing you weren't in. It was the hundreds upon hundreds of pink/blue/white glo sticks that were thrust in my face by countless wide eyed and bushy tailed clubbers that I happened to walk past. I had found myself in yet another one of the 2 a penny nite spots you could find on a holiday in Maguluf ... more

    5 Stars gatecrasher.summer.soundsystem.2000 17/10/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Atmosphere - Soundsystem - Lineup - People

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lineup Mixups

    This was one amazing event!! After daring homelands in the rain, and creamfields the year before I can safely say this was by far the best. They kept it simple but effective, didn’t go to over the top and they coped brilliantly!! One of the most annoying aspects of outdoor dance festivals has gotta be weather and quality of the sound system... and gatecrasher had em both :o) The night started off with a wander round the site, in our group there was Jojo, Sy, Rob, Dave and not forgetting me and we were all loving it to bits!! The people their were fantastic, and during the day you could just ... more

    5 Stars Gatecrasher Summer Sound System 2002 07/03/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent all-nighter

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't think of any except toilets...

    I must admit, this was the 3rd year that i have been to Gatecrasher summer Sound System. About the only problem I can remember (Surprised I can remember anything actually) is that it didn't open on time. It must have been about 45 minutes late, which, when you are hyped up for something and have just travelled 2 hours, you just wanna get in there... Anyway, having been to Homelands and also went to Godskitchen a month later, I found this to be the best dance festival of the year. The tunes were excellent, as were the laser's. All facilities etc were spot on (except the toilets - I don't think ... more

    5 Stars The Best Festival Ever 20/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quality People,Music and Vibe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Non

    I have been going to festivals of all kinds now for years.Gatecrasher summer sound system is by far the best ever. I went last year and had a fantastic time, i just knew this year would be guaranteed just as good or even better. Its on such a much bigger scale to say homelands and when you consider the cost as being the same fifty pounds. For a start its much better organised, i especially liked the idea of pro huggers and bollocks booth!. I meet loads of different people, australians, scotish,irish everone was so friendly,a proper dance following! Everone there for the same reason. Went to ... more

    5 Stars Gatecrasher!! 19/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages tunes, tunes, tunes!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Door men can be a bit harsh

    I've been to gatecrasher once and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The club has two rooms from what I remember. Once was a main room catering for hard house and the other dealt in garage. The club always has a good set of DJ's with judge Jules now a resident. When I went I saw sonique play in her unique style of actually singing while mixing records. She has since gone on to reach no.1 in the charts with her song feel so good. The club is big enough to get a dance without being crushed and the music they play is electrifying to those out there who love the hard house, uplifting tunes. I ... more

    5 Stars gc republic sheffield 20/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages world class djs, the music, the people

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the heat, the price

    gatecrasher at the republic in sheffield is quite possibly the best monthly night out in the uk. for any trance lover the names paul van dyk, nu nrg, ferry corsten, armin van buuren and rank 1 will stand out a mile. and yes they have all been there over the last year, some more then 5 times!! theres no other club i have visited that has that many friendly like minded clubbers that are always willing to chat. for anyone who has heard its not as good as it used to be, and lets face it it'll be hard not to have done, u should have been there for the pvd 6hr, not only did ashely rock the place but ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages the whole event

    Disadvantages Disadvantages be prepared for a long day and night

    I have been to a couple of the festivals that have been held in Oxford. Well.....what an event. You go from Tent to tent, ears ringing!!! Heart thumping, cause it is such a rush! Everyone is off their faces and there is little trouble. Everyone is there to just enjoy the music. They always have other things to do like Bungy jumping, dj competetions. One time i was there half the ravers were sitting down watching england play football on a big screen. There is such a buzz and wicked atmosphere about the place. Wear comfy shoes, take a coat ( or some sort of extra layer, just incase ) Best to ... more
