80's Rewind Festival was a great festival all round
Music great even if the tone/sound was lousy. Stalls unable to complete transactions due to interference. Was the two connected to the electrics ?

I got to throw my beloved pants at Rick and they brushed his right shoulder oh what a dream come true, the whole 80's Rewind Festival weekend was totally fab and sad to see Paul Young not at his best.
I found all the campers over the weekend to be great sports and i hope to see them next year put me down for another ticket, and the setting was fantastic (the weather was on our side, a bit like my pants on Rick)

80's Rewind what a weekend. Campground was excellent, yes it needed more loos and more showers but is that not part of the fun. This was my first ever and I hope it returns next year. Fantastic location great walk into Henley the first day than a walk along the Thames the second.

99% of the Acts were fantastic my only disappointment was Paul Young. Heaven 17, Nick Kershaw, Howard Jones and ABC absolutely great Ricky Astley had a personality which was a surprise but the one that stood out fr ...

As this was the first time I had camped at a Festival, I was a little disappointed with the number of showers/portaloos per head at 80's rewind festival. We couldn't get full access of facilities to eat/drink until 12pm so most people who hadn't catered for this had to go to Henley.
This said, the location of the event was perfect and everyone was so friendly.
All the acts,bar Paul Young, performed outstandingly and with such energy, it was a privilege to be there.
The headliners were an odd cho ...

Well 6 of us from the North travelled and camped at the
80's Rewind Festival. We loved it. It is always easy to criticise , toilets and showers. Otherwise the camp sight and venue was very well manned with lots of security and we felt safe to pitch and leave our tents.
The bands, well!! a few let themselves down (needed a little more practice) on the first evening. Otherwise there was some brilliant comebacks. China Crisis the real thing, Toyah and Heaven 17 blew my mind the first day..
On t ...

Great line-up and atmosphere. Need to sort out catering for campers. The main catering wasbehind locked doors until mid-day. Although they advertsied breakfast at these concessions you couldn't get to them. An hour to queue for a coffess is too long at the only two concessions on the camping site. Otherwise was great once you got onto the site. Great crowd and location. Well done.

I was only able to attend the 2nd day of this two day festival so I can't comment on the camping or the acts on the Saturday. However, after enjoying a fantastic day on Sunday I will without a doubt be buying weekend tickets next year. This was the first ever festival of it's kind - a veritable 80's feast of electro, disco, and good old cheese. The Saturday was sold out, an indication of the renewed popularity of the acts performing that day (Rick Astley, Kim Wilde, Bananarama, Belinda Carlisle ...

The 80's Rewind Festival weekend was excellent, there was plenty to see and do for everyone and the bands were quality, some better than others, the highlights were Sister Sledge, Billy Ocean, The Real Thing and Rick Astley who gave great performances, the disappointment was Paul Young, he seemed drunk!

There was lots to eat and drink although prices were damn expensive, make sure you have lots of money...
The camp site needed more toilets, showers and coffee vans, as you had to queue around 40 ...

80's Rewind Festival what a fab couple of days we had. All of the artists sounded great. We didn't camp so can't rate the camping facilites but if the rest is anything to go by I imagine they were good. Absolutely lovely setting on the Thames at Henley with plenty of food and drink choices. All of the bands were good so difficult to select a few for headline bands. The ones that stood out for me were Toyah, China Crisis, The Real Thing, Billy Ocean, Rick Astley, Go West, ABC, Paul Young, Sister ...

80's Rewind Festival was a great weekend - best acts were Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Belinda Carlisle, Rick Astley, Nik Kershaw, Sister Sledge and The Christians. Disappointed by Paul Young, Howard Jones and Kim Wilde (headlined first day but didn't impress the crowds). Most acts didn't take themselves too seriously and looked pleased to be back in front of their now middle-aged (and mostly overweight) fans. Fantastic summer venue and food and drink sufficient for all tastes.

80's Rewind Restival was my first festival and it was a great experience. Weather was excellent and the overall size of the event made it easy to get around the site and see all of the acts. The organisation was good and although prices were typically high, the quality of the food outlets was first class. I can't think of anything that didn't work for us - we had a real blast
