Under 18s at festivals

Opinion

Might get some slack for this but laneway absolutely should’ve been 18+, I don’t fully blame teenagers for being inconsiderate of their surroundings but they seemed to be causing majority of the annoyances (at Melbourne at least). I.e when shady nasty performed at 2pm there was a group along the barricade of young pinkpanthress fans who had like laid claim to the area and all of the people trying to enjoy the show were stuck behind them, on top of that some of them were sitting on the ground and giving me dirty looks for jumping around and singing along? Also overheard a few of them complaining how shit they thought it was. There’ll always be a few disrespectful and inconsiderate people at festivals regardless of age but these were all clearly minors I mean one was holding a “jailbait for pinkpanthress” sign
