"He put his trust in the people who were at the concert and they failed him."
Listen, we're all bound to get a little bit over excited when we're face to face with our favourite bands in the middle of a concert crowd but Twenty One Pilots just experienced something at a UK Festival that took things way over the line.
Tyler and Josh took to the stage at Reading Festival on Friday night (Aug 26) to play a set that was reportedly met with technical failure and security issues.

As explained above, Tyler's attempt to climb the platform was blocked by security so he decided to crowd surf to it. The video below shows him emerging on the platform with a ripped shirt and also includes him telling Josh to end the show.
the sound of his voice shouting "let get of me!" breaks my heart. #RespectTylerJoseph pic.twitter.com/oh1mvvxyky

artists do shows FOR YOU, so you can have the best time of your life but YOU need to respect them cause they're humans. #respecttylerjoseph

wild concept: acknowledging and respecting an artists health and safety when they crowd surf by NOT ASSAULTING THEM #RespectTylerJoseph

6 months ago BBC cut Tyler's mic "to keep him safe" & now security wouldn't try to stop the crowd from attacking him #RespectTylerJoseph

How a concert should end. Feeling proud, loved & happy, not being terrified of their own safety. #RespectTylerJoseph pic.twitter.com/ZHAe2SXQjm

the last time they we were on stage he was saying "we did it" and now he had to say "we're done", this hurts so much #RespectTylerJoseph

Literally unacceptable from security and festival goers. We all know how wild TØP gigs can get but there is absolutely no excuse for artists to be treated like that.
We hope the guys are alright and are not put off of their show on Saturday night (Aug 27) at Leeds Festival.
