If you’re like me, a rave isn’t exactly what you’d call a good time.

I once missed MCR and 30 Seconds to Mars because an Australian guy stepped on my friend’s ankle in the crowd for The Offspring and I had to take her to the ER. What was your worst festival experience? Let us know in the comments, on Twitter, or on Facebook.
