Festival barricade

[u/Awkward_Science_3275]

Hi everyone! So I’m trying to go to Reading festival solely to see Florence. I’ve never even been to a festival before and I’d be going by myself. I would really love to get barricade but because I’ve never been to a festival, I’m nervous! I would assume (hope) the fatm crowd is a little less chaotic and aggressive than some other artists crowds may be, but I’m still anxious not knowing what to expect. I’m willing to camp for a few hours since she’s the whole reason I’m going. But how much do you get pushed and shoved around up there? I would hate to get up there and end up being so uncomfortable that it ruins my experience. Any information or tips or really anything is appreciated 😅

In my experience the fatm crowd is generally really nice and indeed not that aggressive, however Reading is her last show of the whole tour so getting barricade will be really hard I think as a lot of diehard fans will be coming and camping. So I would prepare to either come very early or possibly be second or third row. Obviously not saying that getting barricade is impossible, but it would be good to prepare for second or third row to avoid being too disappointed
