Avril Lavigne draws a huge Glastonbury crowd

[Teletubby 149,005]

Avril Lavigne has drawn a colossal crowd to Glastonbury’s Other Stage.
The billing initially posed an issue for football fans, with Avril Lavigne’s stage time  clashing with England vs Slovakia in the European Championships.
Her set was as rammed as the Sugababes, with an estimated 70,000 fans packed together like sardines in a crushed tin can, in a trash compactor in the centre of a collapsing black hole.

 

(3:24) The singer was cheered on from the side of the stage by  Anya Taylor-Joy and Cara Delevingne.

This legend deserves no less!

I like to catch ppl who don't know the lyrics in the crowd

[DopeEnigma 1,350]

What a legend, love Avril!

She was sooo good and the crowd were great. Hit after hit!

Honestly idk what the orgainsers were thinking this year with some of the stage line ups they went with. Seriously out of touch.

I was trying to pass through to see avril and it was completely rammed, she should have been headlining Sunday night rather than SZA, whoever planned everything had weird choices of where to put artists on stages

they probably thought that if these artists has a streaming success then they can bring a lot of people, but it's not the case, these artists had like 1-2 successful songs and then it all remains with their small fan base, also the European market and the American market are totally different..

I can only imagine how it feels to perform to this crowd after almost losing her life to that awful disease, she deserves every inch of her success ❤️

The walk from Shania to Avril was the worst I've experienced in all the festivals I've been to (but first Glastonbury this year so maybe thats normal?)

I mean I've never done Glasto, but to my knowledge the stage layouts aren't altered much each year. 

But apparently about 70,000 tried to go watch Avril, and the organisers had put her on one of the smallest stages.

Biggest issue with Other Stage was that it was a central location that leads to every other major stage (direct route to Pyramid...), is surrounded on both sides by food stalls, and then surrounded at the rear by the largest central campsite. Also has a toilet block on each exit...

The logistics of navigating were terrible but the field itself wasn't bad. Unlike Sugababes which was a couple of degrees in temperature away from being a deathpit

From what I've heard the Sugababes were another act that drew a crowd far too big for the stage they'd been placed at lol 

Maybe the festival organisers didn't realise the gays went to glastonbury

Yeah I was front row at Sugababes absolutely bursting for a pee but thought there's zero chance getting out and even less chance of getting back in. They closed the paths around the stage so it was exit only. The temperature was sweltering

I love her so much and happy to see that people are still here for her. And lol at the 2007 Best Damn Thing skull props in the back, it's like a signature thing now.
