A recent thread on the r/lostlandsmusicfest subreddit has sparked serious concern after multiple users flagged a man reportedly preying on women at Lost Lands Music Festival, particularly attendees from South Australia.
Users shared a photo of the individual—seen jovially posing with a giant stuffed monkey perched on his shoulders, wearing a colorful monster-face t-shirt—as a warning to help festival-goers stay alert. Comments describe the man’s behavior as intrusive, noting he aggressively inserted himself into groups, forced photos, and engaged in unwanted physical contact like nonconsensual kissing.
One commenter did a reverse image search linking the man to a prior accusation from September 2024, indicating this is not a new pattern. The community’s tone is cautious and protective, emphasizing the importance of vigilance to prevent further harassment at the event.
Key Takeaways for Festival Attendees:
- Be aware of this individual’s description and reported behavior.
- Stay vigilant, especially in groups, and watch out for each other.
- Report any suspicious or nonconsensual contact immediately to festival security.
Safety is paramount at any festival, and Lost Lands attendees are encouraged to support one another in maintaining a respectful and secure environment.
For ongoing updates, keep an eye on community channels and official festival announcements.
