Not really into this kind of music but this is pretty special. I've been around 5 times now and the live orchestra, coupled with Ibiza classics is superb. Must go if you get the chance….
Have been going since 2018. The talent on stage is unreal. I love Beverly Knight and becks Hill who has hit the big time. Also was there for maxi jazz in one of his last performances which I will cherish forever as I was in ibiza when I first see him live back in the 90s. Pete is phenomenal as are the heritage orchestra.
Fantastic night amazing venue so glad we went We were in the upper circle which had grew views and sound
Love going to RAH I may have been the oldest lady there and go regularly to events over the year. Seeing the RAH being used for a real party night was a fantastic experience.
Absolutely brilliant....Was an amazing experience.The show the orchestra the staff the vibe....thank you 😊
Great experience to be in the RAH and to watch and listen to Pete playing his Ibiza classics was class. All the singers were excellent Becky Hill especially but then to have Rag n Bone as a surprise guest pure Quality. Here's to the next 10 years
No issues with venue or tickets. Had a great time. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Went to see Pete tong in Aberdeen P&J Live and it was amazing. Myself and my chums weee buzzing atmosphere was brilliant from when he played zombie to insomnia to we are the people thanks and please come back to Aberdeen
This is my second go at doing a review of the Pete Tong concert in Aberdeen at the P&J on 5/12/24. My last review was never posted up. The doors opened at 6.30pm but the main event never started until about 9.00pm. Had there been a technical problem? No explanation was provided. The lighting effects and the orchestra were impressive but I found all the singers to be a bit screechy and over loud and drowned out the orchestra. The sound quality improved a bit as the evening went on and my eardrums stopped vibrating painfully when one of the vocalists was belting it out. The concert had flashes of brilliance but was let down by the sound quality.
Great event with brilliant music as always. This is the third time that we have seen Pete Tong at the O2. Only disappointment is that was no 'special guests' compared to Swedish House Mafia in Dec 23 and Rick Astley in Dec 21.
