Hippie Sabotage did justice to the latter part of their name when they attacked security guards and the sound guy, and vandalised some festival property at Oregon’s What The Festival.

The duo was relentless in their attack, choking the security guards who asked them to get off the stage. YourEDM got information from a source close to the stage, who said the following:Β β€œSo right when they got on, the one with the beard started screaming β€˜I DON’T GIVE A FUCK’ over and over. The sound guy said something to him about it and he didn’t like it so he got in the sound guys face. They cut his mic after that so they started slamming the mics and jumping in the pool then back on the decks. That’s when security came to pull them off and this ensued.”

Here’s a snippet of what happened on stage. It’s some pretty violent footage.


The fight allegedly started becauseΒ the duo was forced to cut their set short at 30 minutes, and they flared up after knowing so. Whatever the reason, this is just not how you behave with people working with the festival, or people in general. What these guys did was far from graceful.

Deadmau5 had this to say about the incident.

Some Hippie Sabotage fans showed support for their idols in these ridiculous tweets. It’s probably what happens when you aren’t fully aware of what went down, though the second tweet is in reference to an equally irrelevant Vine.

Let’s get some things straight. Fighting and knocking down security is pure bonkers, and most definitely NOT “sibling goals”. Throwing festival property into pools is not done at all. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but to us, what Hippie Sabotage did was sheer disrespect to the festival community as a whole.
