Whilst Glastonbury Festival 2022 has been highly praised for its history-making 50th anniversary event at Worthy Farm, festival-goers have, this week, shared their concern for the mass attendance and crowd control issues at this year's festival. 'Dangerous crushes' were reported across the mammoth festival site throughout the celebrations, and some attendees said they left the farm feeling 'traumatised'.
This year marked the first Glastonbury Festival since 2019. After a three year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic, more than 200,000 people descended on Worthy Farm. And while this year's attendance was high, it was not more than the record 300,000 people at the 1994 edition of the festival.
And whilst most revellers have returned from the festival sharing their highlights from the five-day event, some attendees have shared their concerns after experiencing 'crushing' once the live music began from Thursday evening (June 23). Veteran festival-goers spoke of how they had never witnessed such scenes before, and took to social media to speculate on just how many people were actually allowed onsite in 2022.
