After three years of corona show, the festival season is finally back. look forward to four days of live music, beer and hopefully a lot of good atmosphere. But due to the corona cancellations of recent years, it is also a festival debut for many young people. between 14 and 21 years. This is what security manager Peter Tanghus says. - We always pay special attention to new ones. But especially this year because we do not know what the new ones are. There are many who do not know how to go to the festival, so we are aware of that. Earlier this year, especially for its Friday rock events. Several weekends in a row, there was trouble for concerts, where several young people were either too drunk or tried to climb over the fence to Tivoli. At Jelling, the head of security highlights "tigermis" as an example of something you do not want to see at this year's festival. © Ritzau Scanpix'Tigermis' often takes place during the game of beer bowling. of the court and must try to overturn the opponents' beer can at the other end with, for example, a football. the person who got in the way. Because the tents are often too close in the camps to play beer bowling there, beer bowling often takes place out on the common path areas. This is the reason why festival guests who are not otherwise part of the game may have to cross the course and thus be tackled in a 'tigermis'. Tigermis is a form of involuntary tackling that you get if you wade in on one of the many beer bowling alleys of the lawless campsites. It has previously resulted in broken limbs.- Four or five years ago, tiger droppings were at their highest, and there I can remember that there was someone who had his collarbone broken.- When suddenly ten people lie on top of one, then limbs become distorted and bruised. It is violence, and the police also rate it as violence, says Peter Tanghus. The phenomenon of tigermis began long before the corona - and the festival will have put an end to that, just like Roskilde Festival has done. at the Skanderborg Festival already in 2013, after they have participated in a the violent tiger miss game. do it at the festival.It depends on the situation, but there are two scenarios, says the security chief.- If some are going to do something stupid in anger and also regret their action, then we have the opportunity to give a warning bracelet. That is, we cut the festival bracelet, and replace it with a warning bracelet. If the person does something stupid afterwards, it will also be cut, and then the person must leave the festival. A can of beer, which hits one in the skull from a distance of 10 meters, can die off. Peter Tanghus, head of security Jelling Music Festival- But if they have put someone life and mobility are in danger and, for example, cover each other or play up, then the bracelet is cut immediately. Peter Tanghus also says that at previous festivals people have been seen throwing unopened cans in the air. If it is discovered, there is no doubt the consequence.- The bracelet is cut immediately. It's simply too dangerous. A beer can that hits you in the skull from a distance of 10 meters can kill you. The head of security encourages all guests at Jelling to take care of each other and enjoy the music. Among the artists who play at the festival, you will find names like The Minds of 99, Tobias Rahim, Duran Duran, MØ and Jada.
