Festival crime conference next week


Reading, Leeds and Latitude promoter Festival Republic will host the fourth annual conference focusing on combating crime at British music festivals next week. It will be the fourth year that promoters of many of the UK's music festivals have come together with law enforcement agencies to share intelligence, discuss best practice and "communicate a strong and cohesive message to criminals that their actions will not be tolerated". Festival Republic boss Melvin Benn will chair the event alongside Chief Superintendent Andy Battle of West Yorkshire Police on Wednesday 22nd February and the conference will include reps from the Glastonbury Festival, Electric Picnic, Bestival, Rockness, Download, Isle of Wight, T In The Park, Womad, Creamfields, Secret Garden Party, Hackney Big Weekend, Great Escape, Sonisphere and Wireless festivals.
