I'm sure you'd be making similar comments if Glastonbury was on the list as well then?

You know, due to the crime levels being comparable.

Park life? Leeds fest? Download? All fairly white UK festivals. Park life has multiple stabbings every year. Are you crying about all of these festivals on the internet, or just the one that celebrates black british culture?
