Wu-Tang Triumphant At the Virgin Festival

Wu-Tang/Photos: Jeremy Sarkissian

Sorry it took a few days to get our heads together and images downloaded, but those crazy kids at the Virgin Festival know how to party and it rubbed off on us big time. Sure we saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Smashing Pumpkins, and showed you a video of M.I.A. amping the crowds, but as far as we’re concerned it was Wu-Tang that stole the shows on Sunday. Fresh off the Rock the Bells tour, the Clan totally had their shit together as the crowd response as well as their performance shows. Method Man was by far the most super charged, even crowd surfing at one point. And not even the muggy weather or looming threat of rain could contain the revelers as they continued to swell into a stadium sized crowd.We took a whole slew of pictures and videos. Check out the clips, photos, and the mostly “cargo short wearing” crowd after the jump.
