Bands were awesome. well organised festival. the weather separated the festival goers from the trend setters. I'd have to say all the bands played mean as sets, but the adults weren't really my kinda music.
The best of the fest would have to be Trinity Roots, with their awesome new drummer and Shihad for the good vibes and bit of a scream along.

The actual music was awesome and the venue was really well set up - the only down side was the miserable rain and mud. Overall though, no-one could predict that weather bomb!
With the campsite, they seriously needed to empty the port-a-loos more, but the set up was really good with good options of food, drinks and free BBQs.

It's funny, people complaining about the mud and rain etc. I wish there was more mud! I wish there was more rain to cool us down! People let loose, got dirty, had a blast. I loved all the acts. Entertainment between sets was good, didn't mind the short breaks as it gave us a chance to take a pit stop (plenty of nearby toilets - a huge plus) and stock up on food and overpriced booze. The atmosphere was really good, good peeps, good vibes.
Wish they had the words to the haka on screen or that more people got into it. Was a great moment. Only suggestion I could make for next time is to make the party last longer, let's dance til sunrise!
Would defs do it again in a heartbeat, with the mud and all.

I started with Trinity Roots Day One and finished after Shihad Day Two. Over the two days all acts were close enough to on time, tight, professional and they gave it that special oomph to compensate for the weather and acknowlege and lift the audience. The staff remained friendly and helpful and this was important to keep up the spirits of the participants, most of whom were slipping and sliding to some extent at what some dubbed Coro "Brown".
The organisers, musicians and all the supporters did a fantastic job to give us the best line-up of NZ music plus of course Horace Andy and Dub Asante.
Looking forward to the next Coro Gold.

Coro gold was so much fun despite the bad weather. I thought the event ran so smoothly, I found it really easy to get to and from the event on the free busses. The food range was great and we didn't need to wait long for our meal. Also the toilets were cleaned more often than any event I have been to with toilet paper provided right to the end. And the drinks tents were always fast. I think all th staff were great very polite and helpful. Plus the lineup of acts was off the hook we have so many awesome kiwi acts and to see so many of them at once was awesome, I only wish I was able to get up earlier to catch more on the 31st haha I will be coming again great effort guys

Freakin wicked!! Only managed to stay one night at the camp until a huge puddle threatened our tent and we moved out. Pushed the car out of mud twice but we got out. In no way should you ever take a lowered car!!!!! If there's any threat of rain!
Mint arse venue. Amazing organisation!!!! Huge huge band line up. Wicked event!!

Really wet really really muddy but heaps & heaps of fun. Well organized, great food, great sounds, lots of happy friendly people etc. The weather was a bit of a nightmare the first night, particularly for the 80+km drive back to our accommodation. On Saturday we were much better prepared, parked out on the road and walked in for a quick getaway at the end of the night. Which worked a treat.

CoroGold was the most amazing thing I have ever been too!! Even with the rain and mud!! Absolutely loved it so so much.
Was so well organised all the way down to the portaloos, buses and bars...never had to wait in a line at all to go to the toilet or get a drink.
Had the best time of my life!

Who cared about the rain or the mud..... Thats right my flatmate did!!! Had to bring her home on the second day. The event was amazing well run and well staffed and yes I wouldcertainly go again (without flatmate) & take back the crew!!!! For the two nights. The boys stayed the two night and their feedback was "it went off" shapeshifter (my favourite band) brought the house down and rocked hard!!!!
The staff that run the event were amazing and the guys at the camping ground yes we ended up camping were fantastic right attitude and good fun. Thanks heaps coro gold team and waterways you made a bad situation awesome and one to never forget and there will be more coro gold trips to come that I am sure about!!! Happy new year see you next year!!!

I came to Coromandel Gold with high expectations and was bitterly dissapointed. Firstly there was no wine on sale, but funnily enough they sold Canadian Club?!
The bands were too slow...sure everyone enjoys listening to dub on a summers day which was great when the sun was up but when it gets dark people let's pick up the pase! The Black Seeds seemed to slow their beat down, more so than on their albums?!
I am huge fan of Shapeshifter and it would have to be one of the worst sets I have ever seen them play. The sound was horrible and the crowd was even worse! A few solo cheers reigned out from the crowd after each song - pitiful!
Would not go again.

Coro Gold 2010 - 2011 was epic, a fantastic day & a fantastic line up. The weather was beautiful, and the natural ampitheatre was a great use of the natural landscape. The only thing that could have been better was the line for drinks, but even waiting & meeting new people there had its charms.
A very chilled out & relaxed event, I can't wait to see the line up for next year.

What happened?
This was my second time at Coro Gold and the venue was fantastic, once again, but it seemed that the Black Seeds were given an unsuitable spot to play their style of music. In my opinion and those evidently of the people sitting within a 300m radius of me, the style of music reversed the mood and "buzz" created by an electric TikiDub performance.
This slowed the night down considerable and lost the momentum built over the afternoon and evening.
I hate to admit (big fan), but I was also disappointed in the Shapeshifter set, not only was there no count down to midnight (like last year with visuals), as with last year, but the groups selection of tunes was obscure and very B-side! What happened to the classics?! Tracks from Riddemwise and Solstice weren't played, nor the big tracks from System...Also, the low end speakers kept dropping out so the sound was poor and weak!
Compared to last year this was a poor relation in my humble opinion.

Highlights - Trinity Roots rocking 12,000 people & Tiki with P-Diggs hyping things up!
Lowlights - Black seeds buzz kill set post TikiDub & Shapeshifter pre and during midnight playing b-sides and no countdown.

Waasss great as pie!! loved it and i hope the relaxed and peaceful vibe stays alive.. a few to many drunk people but not much can be done. Would be way better if at 2.30am there had have been a DJ or something playing so that we could stay and dance more because it seems safer for people just to stay around the Coro site then move out onto the streets. But the sound system was sick and to me there was nothing really wrong with anything! really really really good organization and a very safe place to go to and have an amazing new years.
HIGH FIVE!
p.s the count down could have been abit louder but the fire works where off the chain! I would recommend this but lets keep it a small gig!.. =D

Coro Gold was amazing and I thought the organisation was really top notch but the Waterways Camp ground needed more shade. We just got cooked on new years eve and were pretty shattered that night. Yeah, we could go out of the grounds and find some shade but it'd be great to have some more big shade tents next time.
I was really impressed with how relaxed security were too. Just there to keep everyone safe without being overbearing like some other spots I've been *cough* Baywatch *cough*
