I was within the first 4 rows of the arena during The Streets, Lady Gaga and MGMT and had been in the Arena for about 5 hours since Ladyhawke. Just before the Streets came on everything started to get crazy with the bottle war, crowd surges etc. Then people started to pass out, i had to help crowd surf a poor girl who'd passed out to the front and the security did nothing to help! There was not enough water being handed out and i didnt get a single drop of water for 5 hours! It was close to dangerous! Then there was the steroid pumping gym monkeys who started to push the crowd. I fell twice and got trampled on and got hit with a full can of carlsberg (i wouldnt mind a plastic bottle, but a can?!) Just generally dissapointed with v festival this year...

She probably would if she didnt die when i was young. I was right at the front, it was impossible to get out and i wasnt going to lose my place.

Sorry for the previous comment about your mum , it is not imposible to get out , it was your decision to stay there and put yourself in danger
