Re: Tour News 2007
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.
