The star-studded show came near the end of the festival’s second day, which featured a massive crowd that stormed the stage area Saturday afteroon.
Fans did not appear to have been discouraged by the first day, which was hampered by strong storms. Chopper 10 was high in the sky, capturing stunning sights of the boistrous crowd.
