i dont see the point of it, coz u lose ur place and u ruin it for people around u. many get injured!

i saw it @ latitude last year with a young boy that thought he was cool. and he lost his trainer through it. so sum1 threw it to security on their side and the dude from FOALS picked it up and lobbed it into the crowd. and they boy was like 'thats my shoe!!!!!!' i couldnt stop laughin coz it served his DUMB ARSE right :lol:

security didnt give to hoots, and promptly chucked him out the side to make his own way to the shoe.

Just out of interest mate does it cross your mind when your doing it that your putting other peoples health at risk and making it harder for them to enjoy the band?

Personally I don't have a huge problem with crowdsurfing, but if I did it I would not be surprised if a took a swift punch to the kidney if I accidently kicked someone in the head

Health and Safety taking over the world, once again.. Every year, more restrictions being put in place, just enough so that we don't notice, and not bother... I just wonder when people are going to start opening there eyes and realise how much we are being FUKED by the government.

I've always thought crowdsurfing was par of the course if you were down the front of a gig, dependant upon who is playing - heavier bands etc. The problem is when things that have unwritten rules at metal gigs, like moshpit behaviour, get emulated at Kaiser Chief gigs :lol:

Basic rules - keep your feet up, and no fat blokes! :) I've never seen any problem with it at Glasto before, like security throwing people out, but then I don't think I've even thought about it since I was 19!

Firstly - no one has ever been chucked of site for crowd-surfing, ever. Anyone that says they have been are lying. You think a security guard working a pit is going to have time to escort someone to the perimeter fence (which may be up to half a mile away from the stage) when they crowd-surf?

Secondly, crowd-surfers tend to be just a tiny bit selfish. Why don't you just to go someone at the back of the field, kick *them* in the head and then see what happens.

Anyone who disrespects the other patrons of the festival enough to have themselves thrown randomly towards peoples necks and heads is not the sort of person who will mind much being punched by said random festival goers.

    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
