    Report summary

    Anya Lily Buckley, aged 17, attended the Leeds Festival, took various illicit drugs, collapsed and died at the festival site on 24 August 2019 despite CPR. The concerns included the admission of unsupervised 16- and 17-year-olds to the festival, their exposure to illicit drugs and alcohol, and whether Leeds City Council’s licensing arrangements adequately addressed risks to potentially vulnerable teenagers.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Availability of illicit drugs at festivals

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) Young people aged 16-17 are admitted to the Leeds Festival without any adult supervision. (2) Illicit drugs are a fact of life at festivals such as this, despite the efforts made by the organiser to prevent them getting in, and to treat those who are harmed by them. The infrastructure of drug searches and medical resources testifies to this. (3) The mixture of potentially vulnerable young people and available illicit drugs creates a tempting situation for the excited teenagers and exposes them to the potential harm which illicit drugs can inflict. (4) As teenagers aged 16-17 are not legally permitted to be in public houses or night clubs, it seems anomalous that they should be free to spend the while night in an environment where illicit drugs and alcohol are prevalent. (5) Evidence was given at Inquest by Miss Buckley's mother that entry should be restricted to people under the age of 18. In fairness, evidence was also given in relation to: a) the difficulty of checking age, and b) the possibility that young people will search for excitement elsewhere if they cannot attend well-organised festivals and the casualty rate of those adversely affected by drugs is low when set against the huge numbers of young people attending. (6) As Leeds City Council licenses the Leeds Festival, it is for them to consider whether admitting 16-17 year old teenagers into the festival (when they are not permitted in other licensed premises) amounts to an abdication of responsibility in relation to impressionable and potentially vulnerable teenagers. ”
