Music festivals are typically viewed as celebrations of all that is good, such as love, happy tunes, friendship, revelry and goodwill. However, as with all large-scale events which involve a high density of people in one place, they require careful planning to ensure their smooth-running and safety.
Naturally, in the event that something goes wrong and members of the public suffer personal injury, it is a requirement of law that those who are accountable are identified so that, where necessary, health and safety prosecutions or criminal prosecutions can be carried out.
It must be said that most music festival-related misfortune does not come down to organiser or venue-owner negligence and rarely results in a music festival accident compensation claim. The majority of incidents are either relatively minor, such as stolen or missing valuables, or are related to over-indulgence in drugs or alcohol by festival-goers.
However some incidents can be attributable to wider organiser or venue-owner safety failings and, in such incidents, there is another important post-accident component to consider: the license.
It is a legal requirement for all festivals to have the appropriate license and, in the event that safety problems or a poor safety record present pressing concerns, the relevant councils and licensing bodies may decide to revoke an event's requisite license.
In 2010 this happened to a music festival in mid Wales, which, according to council officials, fell short of "licensing objectives".
On turning down the license renewal, the council cited "inadequate control, leadership and delegation demonstrated over staff and the event in general".
However, paramount among these concerns were doubts about organisers' ability to ensure public safety.
Such decisions are not taken lightly and involve a whole host of parties, including council officials, organisers, venue owners, health and safety specialists and police.
