Tour News 2007

[lloyd]

Well... after searching the web for news we think this did happen.
Tickets were 60 euro and the festival ground was only half full, there were people outside wanting in without tickets. Somewhere during the beastie boys concert, security/organizer (it seems) decided to open the gates to stop/prevent trouble.There are reports about fights at the gates and security getting out of hand (also that one member of the public was beaten up by security). Word about this got around and people were (of course) not happy about this. Then 'people wearing helmets' started to invade and trash the VIP area/ bars to hand out 'free drinks for the people'. In a parkinglot 5 cars were set to fire amongst them a van of red bull. At one point a car with an injured person left the area. The beastie boys concert was ended early and then someone announced that the festival was over and a member of underworld was injured. Organisation left the scene and the crowd was left on to their own to make an exit.

Greece has a long history of public violance. Anarchists fighting the establisment and global companies.

Nothing of this is official, so the truth perhaps is otherwise.

I think it is just expressing their sadness that something which should have been so beautiful and inspiring and amazing turned into something violent and spiteful and nasty. My heart is with the band, and all those fans who turned up expecting to see the band they loved. And whatever these morons thought they were trying to achieve through their violence and agression, I hope that one day soon they will understand that they were misguided and were picking on totally the wrong people.

Peace.

I know we've been told not to expect frequent posts, but this may be an issue that chimp can clear up for us. We're all very concerned and anxious to know that everything is ok. Please and thank you.

I just read a , myspace comment from someone claiming to have just seen a news report in greece that would verify the supposed injury report.

i have no words.

peace. love. hope.
