What is the world coming to?
Underworld front man Rick Smith was rushed to hospital in Athens, Greece after a local gang started a riot at the Ejekt Festival at the end of June.
30 men that claimed to be “anarchists”rushed the festival with tear gas, iron bars, baseball bats and masks. The thugs broke through security around the time that the Beastie Boys were set to preform.
The baseball stadium where the dance music festival was being staged had to be evacuated by police because people were being beaten, cars were set on fire and the stadium was being heavily destroyed.
As mentioned above, several people were injured including a number of security staff, volunteers, performers and attendees. Smith was kept in hospital for a number of days in Athens before returning home to England for further treatment.
