Gigs and festivals are weird and wonderful places and it's safe to say you witness things like no other. I took to the streets and asked people a simple question 'What's the weirdest thing you've experienced at a gig or festival?'

Take a look at what they said:

At Benicàssim Festival 2016, there was someone walking through the camp blasting a song out of a boombox, and he was being followed by a parade of dozens of people behind him all the way to the food tent. - Ryan Millard A guy dressed as a banana pretended to teabag me and my friend while we were laying on the grass. (Reading 2014) - Catherine Beazley (Guitarist in Valeras) I once saw someone just piss through their pants at a festival in the middle of a crowd, and then continue to dance in their puddle of piss - Lorna Dougherty (A&R at Modern Sky UK)

Weirdest thing I remember was Neck Deep @ Reading 2016, a pit opened up and a topless Asian guy with 3 go pros taped to his stomach jumps starts flailing his arms around hyping everyone up, then fell face down on the group when everyone went in. Never saw him again whole weekend. - Ryan Manning (Photographer) Something really cute I experienced was at the Big Moon in London Scala. The singer's mum was next to us getting well excited, whooping and shouting her daughter's name. Quirky but ace to see, parents are jokes. - Katie King (Guitarist at Valeras) Well I accidentally touched Declan mckennas penis whilst he was stage diving so I guess you could say that's pretty weird. - Tilly Gordon Probably some poor bastard gaffer tapped to a plastic garden chair in the middle of orange camp. - Ben Heath

I was walking through Purple Camp at Reading Festival 2015 in the early hours and a group of people in their mid twenties asked if I wanted to join their zoo and that to do so I had to audition to be a flamingo by standing on one leg and downing a Strongbow - Jacob Holroyd (Lead at Haize)

At boardmasters a group of Welsh lads made a water slide right next to our tents and they were hilarious. They ripped a tent to make an obstacle to go through and a couple of them ran down it naked (so yeah saw bouncing willys). - Lauren Marshall (Organiser of Hadfest)

When I was at wilderness I was dancing with some dudes and one of them started pissing - Evie Edwards

With festival season fast approaching there's bound to be hundreds of stories to add to this, but this was just a snippet of the greatness that occurs.
