Crowd at Leeds Fest was dead

Conversations

I literally only went for Charli, so did quite a few others judging by random Brat tops in the crowd.
I haven’t been to Leeds Fest since 2013 so was expecting it to be wild, but…

At 7pm there was basically nobody at the stage, by 7:10 the crowd was filing out. She came on a couple minutes later and people were still joining the crowd. Full daylight. it felt so anticlimactic.

Nobody was dancing, jumping, any movement or life at all. Just a sea of phones during Apple and again during 360/365 (some people did dance during 365 tbf). The only crowd noise I heard was one girl screaming at another girl because her hand was blocking her shot during a song.

Charli was great but the whole show actually made me really depressed. I kind of get what she’s saying when she says the dance floor is dead lol. I know for a fact the real tour will be way better in terms of vibes but this has been on my mind for a few days now.
