Music fans at this year's Reading Festival have left early due to tent-burning, fighting and looting. The final day of the event, Sunday, August 28, saw out of control music fans in multiple areas of the campsite around 4pm.
Videos online show crowds of young men and women gathering and throwing chairs and other objects into flames that had been lit next to tents. One video was of a fire that had been filmed in the Orange Camp during the day, with another from an unknown area of the site later that evening.
Attendees of the festival have taken to social media to say they saw people set fire to tents deliberately, whilst others stood by or encouraged them reports The Daily Mirror. There was also fighting amongst the festival goers, and looting from the tents reportedly took place.
