Glasvegas Bottled Off Stage At V Festival 2011

Glasvegas were forced to abandon their set at last weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford after being bottled off stage.

The group initially walked off after playing just four songs on the Arena Stage, before returning to try and continue their set.

But they left again after objects continued to be thrown from the audience.

In a statement, their management company said Glasvegas had decided to leave the stage due to fears of crowd safety.

It read: "It's an honour for Glasvegas to play in front of any crowd. They performed at Pukkelpop before the storm blew in and we were reminded first hand how important safety of a crowd and band are. The kids that come along to the festivals are passionate about their music - they've saved and sacrificed for months to pay for tickets and want to have an amazing weekend.

"The line up of the Arena Stage is very different from 'rock n' roll', but it really doesn't what matter what genre. Glasvegas respect this and will always give the crowd 100%. All we want is for everyone, including the band, to have a good time and go home safely."
