Default Reading Festival: lack of security, fights and arsonists setting fires to tents.




[Yobs torch tents as Reading Festival
descends into violence and looting: Music fans
leave early as brawls break out,
chairs are thrown and thugs
start fires in campsite on last day of event
Videos on social media showed fires
burning across the festival site
as revellers burned camp equipment
Fighting and looting was also reported
on the festival's final day on Sunday
as many left the site early
A man was arrested in connection
with needle spiking at an Arctic Monkeys
gig on Saturday but was released]

I saw some videos of objects just being launched across the campsite at other tents - camping chairs, beer cans, and all sorts of things that could badly injure people

I wonder if some people have been watching the Woodstock 99 doc and trying to replicate the chaos from there

I was just coming in to post this son, giving nothing like this has ever happened before at a festival I would 100% say this was the inspiration, they should be banned from attending festivals, and now is is likely festival goers will no longer be able to take their own beer and drinks so well done twats

yeah, they have just ruined all future festivals for everyone. There is no way security could do anything against that
