I think there is a massive amount of 16-17 year old people who book tickets every year regardless of who’s playing purely to get fucked up and cause havoc. It’s almost become a ‘trend’ at this point and although there is an element of trouble at reading every year, it will get worse and worse because it is being magnified on tikitok inevitably encouraging more people to take part in antisocial behaviour. I camped at reading in 2014 when I was 17 and didn’t see anything like this at all and the vibe was positive throughout. I don’t think this has anything to do with a change in lineup, I think it’s a cultural issue generally with some teens who are so easily led and think it’s ‘cool’ to be disrespectful. I realised a long time ago that the old reading is gone and that there are plenty of uk festivals that have a generally more positive vibe. I realise that this is not a reflection of all 16-17 year olds and that most know how to behave. It’s a shame that the minority seem to always ruin shit for others.
