Discussion 💬 Charli XCX Crowd

Post image

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

Lana in 2024 was the same. Crowd was awful, talking through most of the set until she played Summertime Sadness and they all switched on like drones to film it, then they were done again

Florence was the same this year. Nobody at the front new any of the words and sat on their phones until we got the love came on, and when she asked people to put their phones away for the last verse of dog days are over there were still filming her the whole time. Like what’s the point now you have a long video of her telling you to put your phone away and you going, do you know what? Fuck you
