 William Smith #370 The Verve: 3 stars out of 5 PINKPOP SYMPHONY I knew of The Verve and Richard Ashcroft (indie / Britrock icon). But, my attendance at their set was more the product of my beer induced inability to move, rather than my desire to catch their set. However, it turned out to be an awesome accident and it was brilliant. Hit after hit and a brilliant light display. Ashcroft an effortless entertainer with a stage presence to rival many. A set I look back on with great fondness. Pinkpop Festival 2008 Apr 21, 2025
 William Smith #370 Hollywood Vampires: 2.5 stars out of 5 PINKPOP’S OUT It was fun to see Depp, Cooper and co do their thing, but just didn’t feel it. Lots did and the crowd was having a great time. It just didn’t do anything for me, sadly. If it wasn’t for the Johnny Depp hype, I suspect it would have been largely forgettable. The highlight was seeing Alice Cooper (legend), and Joe Perry doing his thing on guitar was brilliant. The Killing Joke cover, Death and Resurrection was also a nice surprise. But, regrettably … I wouldn’t go and see them again 🤷‍♂️ Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
 William Smith #370 Flogging Molly: 3.25 stars out of 5 WHISTLES THE PINKPOP A band I’ve watched many times over the years and always a great time. Supporting the new album Float, if memory serves me correctly - it was a bit flat (crowd energy) compared to other times I’ve seen them. But, Flogging Molly are one of those bands that have enough bangers and singalongs to enjoy and ensure it’s a blast. Tobacco Island, Whistles The Wind, Seven Deadly Sins… what’s not to like!!! *does Irish jig. A 10-12 song set flys by. Always worth checking out when they appear on a line up.

 William Smith #370 Hot Milk: 2.5 stars out of 5 HOT PINKPOP ☀️ A sweltering day with many a beer getting drunk, we popped over to the other stage to catch Hot Milk. The hype around these has been ongoing for a while, so curiosity ensured I went to see what the fuss was about. Sadly, the stage presence felt forced, the songs didn’t connect and on this occasion Hot Milk didn’t leave a lasting impression. I’m sure, for many - it was a great show. I wish them well, and will see them next time. Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
 William Smith #370 Metallica: 4 stars out of 5 MASTER OF PINKPOP Have seen Metallica many times and always remember the Pinkpop set with a lot of joy. It was a stacked Pinkpop weekend, with Rage Against The Machine and Foo Fighters sharing headline duties. Metallica played a mammoth set which from the opening with the traditional Ecstasy of Gold burst into a blistering rendition of Creeping Death … from that, the pace rarely dropped. We couldn’t catch our breath before the opening chords of For Whom The Bell Tolls hit, and then Ride The Lightning. Pure Metal Heritage and there won’t ever be another Metallica.

 William Smith #370 Stereophonics: 4 stars out of 5 HAVE A NICE PINKPOP I remember when they were announced the Phonics were a band I earmarked to check out and was super excited about. Even in 2008, they were considered a pretty veteran act with stacks of albums to draw on from the set. Kicking into Bartender and The Thief early on and going right into A Thousand Trees electrified the atmosphere and turned the energy right up. I don’t think we stopped dancing. Super fun band, and a safe booking for any festival. Pinkpop Festival 2008 Apr 21, 2025
 William Smith #370 Robbie Williams: 3.75 stars out of 5 ROCK ..DEEEE JAYYYY! I didn’t really know what to expect from Robbie. But, we arrived for his set many beers had been consumed, and what a blast. Super fun, and songs that are instantly recognisable hits, full of nostalgia and Robbie makes it look effortless. His natural stage work, comedic wit and the talented band ensures that, no matter what your natural taste in music, (from Rock to Rap), you can’t help but still enjoy the hit machine Robbie Williams.

 William Smith #370 P!nk: 5 stars out of 5 PINK….POP! Wow. What a show, from start to finish. The production was superb, and world class. We were completely engrossed from the minute P!nk appeared from the stage rigging. The setlist was packed with all the hits and the atmosphere across the site was just beautiful. A memory which will last a lifetime. Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
