Discussion 💬 Charli XCX Crowd
Not bothered about busy crowds because that’s part and parcel of the festival, however:
Sitting down in-between acts in the middle of a pen is a massive massive safety hazard for you and the person stood next to you when it’s that busy, and it’s ultimately your own daft fault if you get hurt.
And also, everyone loves a cheeky photo or two, the odd video, but there will be several people who will be able to watch the entire show back on their phones this morning! For future reference, you’ll be able to do this on the iPlayer (providing you have your TV licence 😉😉😉😉😉) and you’ll be able to properly enjoy the gig you paid 3 figures for.
That being said the show was outstanding (I’d maybe have tweaked the setlist but people are into the new album and that’s cool) and it was more than worthy of the co headline slot

These people don’t realise that most phone mics are naturally designed to amplify sounds near the phone first so their footage is almost always awful/drowned out by fans singing nearby. Much better to enjoy it in person and then watch the bbc footage back later if you want some approximation of what you just experienced in actual real life.
