The Glastonbury Festival has been a staple event for music lovers all over the world, drawing in hundreds of thousands of fans to Worthy Farm in Somerset. This year, the festival welcomed big names like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Shania Twain to the stage, performing their iconic hits for the enthusiastic crowd. However, amidst all the excitement and anticipation, chaos has ensued due to the unexpected influx of festival-goers sneaking in over the fence.
As a result, stages have been closed off to prevent overcrowding and potential crushes, leaving fans in a state of panic. The situation has been closely monitored and documented by The Agency, who have been providing live updates on their blog. It's a disappointing turn of events for those who have been eagerly waiting for this moment since last year's ticket sales turned into a Hunger Games-style battle.
According to MailOnline, footage has emerged of people scaling the high walls of the festival grounds in the wee hours of the morning and sprinting inside. Surprisingly, these sneaky fans only paid £50 for their entry, a fraction of the official ticket price of £350. It's a bitter pill to swallow for those who were unable to secure tickets and have been left devastated year after year.
The festival, which has a capacity of over 200,000 attendees, has also faced long queues of people who didn't get tickets, lined up outside the walls. Meanwhile, others have resorted to using ladders to gain access. One fan shared their experience, revealing that it was surprisingly easy to sneak in. They had joined a Reddit group chat where fellow fans were sharing tips and contacts of people who could help them get in.
While some chose to vault over the walls, others opted to buy wristbands from strangers for a fraction of the price. These wristbands, which were given out at Castle Cary train station, actually belonged to other festival-goers and were secretly slipped off. It's a risky move, but one that seemed to pay off for many.
Aside from the chaos caused by sneaky festival-goers, there have also been concerns over the safety of the crowds. With massive turnouts for certain acts, stages have had to be shut down, leaving fans disappointed. On Friday, Sugababes fans were outraged when huge crowds prevented them from seeing the popstars perform at the West Holts stage, one of the bigger stages at the venue.
The same day, Charli XCX's DJ set drew enormous crowds to the Levels stage, causing organizers to close it off due to overcrowding. Later that night, Bicep had to pause their set and ask the crowd to step back for safety reasons. Despite the challenges, the festival has been able to handle these situations effectively and ensure the safety of its attendees.
In response to the safety concerns, Glastonbury defended their "robust, dynamic crowd management plan" and assured fans that their safety is always a top priority. They have been working closely with authorities to monitor and control crowd movements, with measures in place to pause and stop performances if necessary. While it may be disappointing for some fans, the festival's priority will always be the safety of its attendees.
As the festival draws to a close, many are left wondering who their favorite acts were this year.
