Leeds Festival 2002 / 2005 riots

Hello! I'm writing an article for Loud & Quiet magazine looking back at Leeds Festival in the early 00s – in particular, the 2002 / 2005 riots. 

Did anyone here go to those festivals? Or work at the festival? What was your experience like? 

I've seen the post on this subject from 2008, but if anyone has any memories they'd like to share it would be much appreciated. 

Thanks! Andrew

It's hardly a "riot", it's a few dickheads tipping over toilets and setting fire to their tents on the Sunday night and even then it's isolated to certain parts of the camp so you can miss it completely. I can't wait for the article to dress it up as something like the UK Tibetan uprising. lol

Thanks for the constructive feedback – I'll make sure I share it on here once it's published so you can see what a terrible job I did : )
