Energetic particle (EP) driven instabilities will be of strongly increased relevance in future burning plasmas as the EP pressure will be very large compared to the thermal plasma.Understanding the interaction of EPs and bulk plasma is crucial for developing nextgeneration fusion devices. In this work, the JOREK MHD code is extended to allow for the simulation of EP instabilities at high EP pressures using realistic plasma and EP parameter in a full-f formulation with anisotropic pressure coupling to the bluid background.The code is first benchmarked linearly for the ITPA-TAE as well as the experiment based AUG-NLED cases, obtaining good agreement to other codes. Then, it is applied to a high energetic particle pressure discharge in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak using a realistic non-Maxwellian distribution of EPs, reproducing aspects of the experimentally observed instabilities. Non-linear applications are possible based on the implentation, but will require dedicated verification and validation left for future work.
