Let’s talk songs. You know “I Will Wait” is coming, and when it does, the entire park will sing it back like a prayer. “Little Lion Man” will get the biggest cheer, even though it’s about, you know, kicking your lover in the face. No judgment here—it’s a banger.
They’ll play new stuff too, from their latest album Delta or Rushmere. Don’t worry about not knowing the words. Just sway emotively and nod at strangers. That’s the folk version of a TikTok dance.
And the encore? It’ll probably be “The Cave,” and you will lose your voice. Bring water, or just let the tears hydrate you.
How to Survive the Crowd (and the Toilets)
Portaloos at Hyde Park are a survival challenge. Do your business early, and avoid the queues during the headline set. Tip: bring hand sanitizer and a sense of humor. You’ll see things in those toilets that you’ll discuss for years.
Also, pace your alcohol. You want to remember the banjo solo, right? Stick to one drink per hour, and chase it with water. Trust me, waking up with a hangover and a photo album of blurry selfies is not the souvenir you want.
