The Police ordered festival organisers to stop any appearance from the Babyshambles, for security reasons... they say band could incite disorder
Pete Doherty of The Babyshambles.
The findings presented by the police of Wiltshire county, England, obliged to cancel the Moonfest Festival set to take place on August 29-31.
The arguments were directly focused on security.
Irrepressible
The police stated that the stewards licensed to work at Moonfest would have been inadequate to cope with a public disorder situation that they believe the Babyshambles would gee up.
A feature article at The Guardian newspaper contains some literal worlds of the Police claiming to have carried out in-depth analysis on the music that Pete Doherty and his band made and they’ve came to this conclusion:
Ill-Intentioned
" Deliberately speed up and then slow down the music and create a whirlpool effect in the crowd " This Whirlpool "gees up the crowd and they end up fighting".
The festival organisers have showed their surprise for this banning coming at this stage, as they got a requested license six months ago and now they need to announce the cancellation of the whole event.
Play for free somewhere else
They are holding a hospitality party, strictly by RSVP invitation only with some great bands playing, and they are looking for a date at the end of September for a free gig of the Babyshambles for all ticket purchasers.
Doherty has offered himself, as stated by the Moonfest people, to play for free "at their own garage if necessary" to make up for all their fans.
