Hippie Sabotage Assault Security at What The Festival

This weekend thousands of music lovers descended upon What The Festival in Oregon to listen to great music and have a good time with friends. Unfortunately the good vibes were interrupted when duo Hippie Sabotage threw their mics into the pool and proceeded to fight the security guards who were trying to remove them from the venue. Here’s the whole story according to one festival goer:

Hippie sabotage goes on stage telling the audience that “we are playing a hard set and if you dont like it, fuck you, go talk shit on facebook” people get weirded out and then HS continues to say “or stand there and be fucking weirdos” so sound guy comes up and tells him to chill out and to not mishandle the microphone, HS proceeds to talk shit more to the crowd and soundguy on the mic. soundguy mutes mic. HS throws a fit and tosses mics to the crowd. 3 of them. Soundguy tries to go on stage and gets stopped by the TM and shoved back by HS. Event organizer comes to tell them to chill. they say “fuck you”. event organizers ask security to remove them from stage and then this happened….. they get boo’d off stage and i told them “thats some looser shit” they try try to come fight me. security holds him back and he yells. “when you have 200k plays on soundcloud come talk to me” lmao. they get escorted off the festival immediately.

This kind of behavior isn’t acceptable at all. The duo said they were defending themselves from security when the video paints a pretty clear picture of them provoking the incident in question. There has already been an insane amount of backlash on them with fans from all over the U.S. and Canada asking festivals like Pemberton and Electric Forest to cancel their bookings based on the actions. Even after all of this happened Hippie Sabotage somehow made the situation worse for themselves. After numerous other artists called their out for their behavior they took to periscope to complain about the situation. They chose to focus all of their negative energy on other What The Festival performer Ekali saying he was just trying to use the situation to make himself bigger as an artists. Watch the video of the fight below and the videos that Hippie Sabotage posted on Periscope and decide for yourself what you think of their actions. Up to now the duo has not apologized for any of their actions.
