, but tell MarieClaire.com they are working diligently to publish that in the next week.
wow, I bet if he realized that I was working, if there was something on me that told him I was staff, he might have not done that Large-scale music festivals are a logistical nightmare, to be sure, but the stories and the data leave one wondering: Why isn’t more being done to protect attendees? It’s not just good for festival-goers, it’s something they desperately want: Ninety-nine percent of OMMB survey respondants said they would be more likely to go to a music venue if there were stronger security measures in place; 84 percent wished to see more staff trained on how to deal with sexual misconduct at festivals.
A representative for Lollopalooza counters that,"our staff is trained to facilitate support for patrons who need help with any incidents, including sexual harassment or assault, by connecting them to an appropriate onsite specialist." Other musicians have started speaking up, too, demanding music festivals create a truly safe environment. Chicago rapper and one of Riot Fest’s 2017 headliners Vic Mensa spoke with me about the issue. “I’ve never been okay with men at festivals at shows grabbing women,” he says. “I’ve gotten into full fights on stage with people in the crowd because they were manhandling women and trying to either touch them sexually or get them out the way.
