If it offers any hope, what happened at Primavera is that thingsp did spread out more with every day. Friday and Saturday of the second weekend basically felt like back in 2018.
At least part of it must be not having been at a big festival for three years. Same story with Primavera. Not saying there aren’t genuine crowd issues but wouldn’t surprise me if crowds we would have considered reasonable before now feel like too much to handle.
Third time this year. I’ve also done Glasto multiple times and other festivals.
I’m not saying that there weren’t issues, there clearly were, but the overall amount of people wasn’t one of them for me.
Am I the only one who didn’t feel like they oversold?
I think the issues were mostly with poor crowd control and the big sound tent / bar area on Mordor that creates bottlenecks on the side. It never felt to me like there were too many people in the site overall.

lmao chill
> No kidding, 85% has now left the main stages now, Smile must be ridiculous.
Lots of space, it’s pretty sparse in the back. A lot of people probably just left.
Really wasn’t that bad. We showed up the watch Lorde from the left side and got a great spot. The big booth in the middle creates a bottleneck though that makes the sides seem extra busy.
None of the issue this year were dealbreakers for me so I’ll be back if then lineup remains as convincing. Can totally see why some people are leaving this year disappointed though.
