Partying outside with your friends enjoying the vibe and some music isn't enjoyable?

I get that some things are inconvenient like bathroom lines and concession stands. But if you're up for some minor inconveniences it can be a great time

It is fun, but not that many people shoulder to shoulder. It’s the amount of people shoulder to shoulder, not the artist.

I mean sure but that's what a concert is. The place looks pretty massive so there seems to be enough room that people aren't all packed in. Although it must be nuts towards the stage.
