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.
What a night, the music was amazing we had a brilliant time. The atmosphere was better than I could have imagined. Loved every second of it and definitely looking to go back next year, I can't recommend enough.
I had an amazing time watching Pete Tong, Jules Buckley and the Essential Orchestra perform a night of Ibiza Classics and 90s dance favourites. The way the set was put together, and the way a full orchestra bring these classic songs to life was fantastic. The crowd and atmosphere was electric too with 20,000 people dancing the night away at The O2 in Greenwich. I would definitely recommend seeing Pete, Jules and the orchestra again and am already looking forward to December 2025.
Amazing experience as usual , atmosphere is always wonderful . The guest singers were brilliant and it was a fantastic surprise to see sonique . Loved every second of the show
Just brilliant sound quality was superb. Venue was one of the best we have been too. Enjoyed the whole evening Pete Tong 👍👍
What a night! Danced nonstop. The orchestra & singers were amazing & the mix with Pete Tong on his DJ decks was awesome. Would definitely go see them again & recommend to anyone who loves a good dance
Pete Tong at his best with the essentials orchestra was a faultless show from start to finish. The music, singing and light show were brilliant, the memories of a forgotten age were unlocked. At the venue, Cardiff Utilita, as the companion of a disabled visitor I was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and attention given by the staff, partic
