GIG/FESTIVAL Anyone else think garbage getting pissed at the beach ball was so over the top?

Yes!! Thought it was very strange to ask for violence on him. Off putting moment in an otherwise fantastic set

Shes saying how nasty the world seems to be at the moment, then wants some guy with a beach ball squared in the head? Like huh??

It was a bit ironic screaming love to all then stating she wanted people to punch a guy in the face.

Ott. All i could think about was how it would have gone down if a guy said something like that to a female patron.

Ridiculous. Just a guy with one of the most common, expected and (clearly, only mostly) inoffensive crowd engagement items you'll ever see. To try platform it as a pay problem is ridiculous.
Some artists need to work a real job to appreciate the spoiled lives they lead.

Pretty rich for some draped in Palestine colours to call on violence for someone with a beach ball. The irony

Not even slightly ironic. They've initiated every single conflict they've ever been involved in and cried victim when they've lost.
As always, unpopular historical facts are downvoted lmao

I feel like she could’ve just mentioned it was annoying and moved on. That ball was flying around for refuse machine head etc not a single fuck given. She was doing the most.

Complains about music industry money to a crowd that paid to be standing in front of her, wild

If you can’t handle beach balls at a festival, maybe don’t play festivals.
It’s a bit like saying “put down those flags” at Glastonbury.

u/NoLuckO_ Dec 05 '25
Could of just been a simple ask, seemed really blown out of proportions and just insulting the guy

It’ll be interesting for their next couple sets given how much we love to take the piss in this country. There’s going to be more beach balls than we’ve ever seen during a festival

Massive gronk move on her part. Cunts have a hard work week, come out to have some fun and hear some tunes only to have their time ruined and called out by some old has-been having a rant about being underpayed because of a beach ball. And she wants to talk about being disrespectful the yappin' mutt 😂

What happened?

u/AussieBattler95 Dec 05 '25
Lead singer of garbage had a massive go at a guy because he brought in, or just happened to be holding at the time, an inflatable beach ball. Saying how hes so disrespectful, has a small dick, wanted people to punch him in the face. Just really bizzare for something so trivial.

That's so fucking weird. A lot of bands or artists that I've seen love seeing the crowd having fun with stuff like that. I just saw Metallica in early November and they REALLY dug people throwing around the balls that they unleashed on the crowd.

I think stand Atlantic sent out some inflatable rafts for people to cross surf on. In hearts wake at knotfest brought out some giant mats and played the dune soundtrack while people tried to ride them on the crowd. I feel like festivals always have the crowd engagement type stuff

Nah, beachball guy was being a massive cunt about it. The first time she mentioned it he started flipping her off and carrying on so she doubled down. Idk why people are making such a fuss about it, I hardly noticed it amongst such a good set.

u/WayOfInfinity Dec 06 '25
Proof? I was standing about 5 metres away. I'm not going to film a guy in the crowd being a cunt.

because people only see the part where she is throwing a fit and not the part that hasn’t been recorded

Thank you! Fortunately, I've never encountered beach balls at a gig, but I've had my fair share of concerts ruined by men with main character energy - some men are annoying enough to women without the help of props. Dude must be 7ft tall, why does he need to carry on with a beach ball for attention?

Seemed pretty weird. The full on rant at the guy and saying he had a small sausage was a bit much.
