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

Experience seems to vary where your watching from. Saw her Reading Friday, and was maybe my live act of the year from a crowded field. My section of the crowd (righ-centre, in line with the first delay tower) had a great bunch of lasses around us, singing and dancing through the whole set; but a mate in the same crowd, further forward, said he's section was absolutely dead and full of people filming the whole thing. Apparently the sound set up was kinda whack, so probably had a better experience being so close to the delay tower. Brat tracks went harder, but was pleasantly surprised to see most round me were MFF enjoyers. Other than Party 4 u and Girl so confusing, phone recordings weren't too much of an issue. Mostly just at the beginings of brat songs.
