DJ Daddy Trance Halts Set Over Crowd Behavior

During his set at Adelaide's Wildlands Festival, DJ Marlon Hoffstadt, known as DJ Daddy Trance, paused the music to address the crowd's rowdy behavior, urging them to stay hydrated and look out for one another. He expressed concern over the increasing number of festival-goers passing out, a trend he has noticed more in Australia compared to Europe. Hoffstadt emphasized the importance of creating a safer environment, suggesting that attendees should be cautious with drug use and monitor each other’s wellbeing. His plea resonated well with some audience members, although others found it embarrassing that a DJ had to intervene in this manner. Following the incident, Hoffstadt reiterated on social media that prioritizing safety and moderation at festivals is crucial for everyone’s enjoyment. He called for a cultural shift towards a more responsible party atmosphere in Australia.
