One passionately declared, "I would do anything for the diva." Ellie had a special hope for the night, she explained: "I made a sign. My uncle passed away a few days ago.

I feel like I get really bad FOMO if I'm not queuing. So, I need to be in the queue." "We also like meeting people even if we don't get to the barrier.

Like my whole friend group, I met at a concert I was queuing for at 8am." Eilidh added: "You make friends in such the weirdest ways and cues."
