With festival organisers under pressure to introduce more restrictions at events in 2021 to prevent the spread of coronavirus infections will elements of social distancing put an end to the mosh pit as we know it? Despite possible measures to prevent audience interaction and contact it is unlikely to be that effective, just add in some alcohol and combine it with an up-tempo act and event goers will soon forget about social distancing. With the emergence of hard core EDM festivals the mosh pit has developed away from slam dancing to more up-tempo dance moves, so irrespective of the genre a mosh pits of sorts still exist and are unlikely to disappear any time soon. Event goers do it for a variety of reasons but generally it's for camaraderie and a sense of whole in the audience leading to an overall feeling of wellbeing, although injuries are not uncommon. It can depend on the nature of the act and genre or music whether a mosh pit develops in front of stages but for many event goers a mosh pit is part of the attraction of attending a music festival. Moshing was born out of the hard-core heavy metal music scene some time ago, sometimes referred to as slamming or slam dancing, essentially hard and fast pushing and shoving in time to upbeat music. With proposed restrictions likely as festivals return in 2021 what does the future hold for the music festival mosh pit?Īlthough traditionally the mosh pit was that small area in front of each stage in recent times it can almost extend back through the whole audience. That small area in front of the stage for hard core event goers keen to dance and party hard all day and all night.
Multiple people were injured, and Scott ultimately pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.Surely one of the attractions of attending any music festival is the experience of the mosh pit. In 2017, he was accused of inciting a riot at a performance in Arkansas in which he allegedly again encouraged people to push past security. He later pleaded guilty to reckless conduct. In 2015, he was arrested within minutes of starting his set at Lollapalooza in Chicago after telling fans to climb over security barricades. In recent years, Scott has pleaded guilty to misdemeanors twice in connection with his performances. “Make no mistake about it, his desire for chaos caused this horrific tragedy,” he said. Given Scott’s past statements as well as the injuries at his shows, what happened at his Astroworld Festival was a tragedy but not a surprise, Hershenhorn said. Attorneys for Scott and the other defendants have denied the allegations, and representatives didn't immediately respond to BuzzFeed News on Sunday. More than four years later, the now–27-year-old still mostly uses a wheelchair, said Hershenhorn, who is representing him in a civil lawsuit against Scott as well as the venue owner, Scott’s management, and the security company. Multiple fans did jump from the balcony that night, but Kyle Green has said he was pushed by the surging crowd.
