Glastonbury fans have slammed festival organisers after they allowed ‘dangerous overcrowding’ during Avril Lavigne‘s set on Sunday.
AVRIL LAVIGNE COMMANDED OVERCROWDED STAGE
The Complicated hitmaker, 39, drew a huge crowd of 70,000 people, including Cara Delevingne and Anya Taylor-Joy, to the Other Stage for her debut at the summer festival.
While hoards of festival goers rocked along to the pop punkers set, fans branded American R&B singer SZA’s headline performance as the worst ever after a dismal turnout and technical issues plagued her set over on the Pyramid stage.Â
And the scheduling mishap has left fans furious as they took to Twitter to express how they felt unsafe at Avril’s set due to the crowds and suggested she should have been playing on the main stage instead.Â
FANS ARE FURIOUS
Fans wrote: ‘Dangerous amount of people there, shape up Glastonbury for next year…. Get your headliners better arranged.’
‘the avril lavigne crowd is a joke… just taken an entire hour to walk like sardines from one side of the stage to the other. why the fuck is she not on pyramid? they keep putting people on the wrong stages it’s unsafe’;
‘HUGE crowds for Avril Lavigne. The Old Railway Line is gridlocked with people trying to get close enough just to listen. Routes closed. Who could’ve foreseen this?
‘(Well, everyone except Emily Eavis & her team) We all called it the moment the schedule was released.’
One mother penned: ‘My daughter said it was scary watching Avril Lavigne on the Other stage as the crowd was to big.
‘She goes every year and said this is the first time she was worried. Definitely Glasto made some wrong decisions this year.’
