Us teens need our very own music festival

WITH the release of the line-ups for Oxegen and Electric Picnic, the big headache for promoters is how to keep out the under-18s.

With teenagers ‘crashing all events and festivals’ and fake IDs being used more frequently, it’s quite hard to keep these events to the over 18 age limit. But here’s a solution: why don’t MCD or Aiken create a festival for teenagers?

In England festivals are pretty great, from Love Luton to the iTunes Festival, to the Wireless Festival. No wonder England can have the adults’ and youngsters’ festivals separate. If I was living in England I’d be delighted every summer. I could finally get into a festival, without any hassle, without any ‘ID required’.
