About 320 arrests for crimes against tracksuits.
Plus 1 drowning in nearby Lough Owel.

I'm predicting 400. Remember its camping and for two days.
Mainly because of the shenigans at Oxegen coming out, I'm sure the campsites will have more security and gardai thus more arrests.
Tis a pity, line up is pretty good. I know a few going but from what I've read/heard it is the tracksuit posse mainly going down

what a useless f**king thread.
There's a huge chance there will be far less trouble at Hi Fi than at Oxegen considering most people who are going will be taking ecstacy and won't be arsed burning s**t and beating people up like the drunkards in Punchestown.

Jaysus, Una's a bit angry this morning.
But have to agree with Pilchard, at least 25 will be arrested for Burberry offences.
Other offences?
Improper use of a moustache
Possession of a Yellow punto or Micra
Anyone that has a name ending in O e.g. Anto, Kevo

I think I might head down on Sunday. Missed Vitalic at Oxegen and wouldn't mind catching Art Brut and Caged Baby too, but it would mean missing Omar @ Farmleigh.

Una, my thread was a throwaway thread intended as a joke. But now that you've taken it seriously I'd be grateful if you could correct me if any of these statements are false:
1. There was a lot of trouble at this years oxegen.
2. It was caused by a minority of people who attended the festival.
3. These people could very generally be described as people who were there (if they were there for the music at all) for the dance music.
4. The majority of the crowd going to Hi-Fi will be the same as described in 3 above.
5. They will be yammed off their chops whether it be on speed, drink, E or a combination of all 3.
6. There will be more trouble and therefore more arrests than at Oxegen.

I'd imagine that a lot of the knackers that were at Oxegen were there for the Chilli Peppers. There were no real knacker orientated dance acts (ie no trance or hard house) in the dance tent. However Hi-Fi is hosting some of the biggest hard house/trance DJs on the planet; Lisa Lashes, Tiesto, Armin Van Burrin, Ferry Corsten, Marco V etc. Those DJs are all scum magnets. However Hi-Fi will have a much lower attendance than Oxegen so although a greater percentage of the Hi-Fi crowd will be knackers there'll probably be a lower number of knackers then there was at Oxegen, and thus less arrests. |

Do you have a formula/equation for this phenomenon, Prof. Stroller? |

bonzo - I usually appear far angrier than I actually am.
I'm actually wearing a 'peace' badge today - seriously!

just the sign. I got it free in BT2 last night. It is pretty, and very much completes my Thursday Earthy Brown look.
