Love Not Riots is a revolutionary peace movement created by festival
fans to promote and maintain safety and the festival communities
wellbeing and enjoyment.
Having been to Reading and Leeds,
and reading up on other festivals we have come to realise that there
seems to be a trend growing for last night riots at Festivals.
In
a bid to protect the future of the nations much loved festivals, "Love
Not Riots" was created (by Zena Gardner and Amy Last) to address the
need for considerate behaviour and to stamp out the destructive
behaviour witnessed over the years that causes unnecessary damage and
upset to all parties involved "Love Not Riots" aims to bring festival
lovers together spreading one positive message in a united voice. That
message is that all festivals are brought to us, thanks to the time,
trouble and cost of its organisers, and how we choose to enjoy those
events is just as responsible for their success and continuation as the
organisers themselves.
If we make one possible rioter listen
and change their views of how to enjoy Sunday Night the campaign will
have worked and been worth every second!
This campaign pivots
on the fact that "We all want the festivals still around and safe for
our children to come and enjoy as much as we do!"
The
campaign spreads the message that these events are about everyone's
enjoyment, not about how much damage and destruction you can cause and
certainly not about risking the safety of others around them or the
events future.
We offer a chance for the organisers and the
fans to come together to safe guard the future of their event. A chance
for everyone attending to be a part of a revolutionary movement aimed
at protecting festivals close to the hearts of thousands.
"Love
Not Riots" has so far attracted the attention of numerous bands,
festival organisers (Mean Fiddler and Live Nation), local and national
press and of course many thousands of our fellow festival goers.
Have
a wander around the site ..... Its full of great stuff ... How to get
