Background
[edit]The docuseries depicts the events leading up to the violence and sexual assaults that occurred during the festival. Many concert goers and some musicians who performed at the festival such as Gavin Rossdale, Jonathan Davis, and Fatboy Slim, depict their experiences during the three day festival.[4] Carson Daly, who hosted MTV's TRL from 1998 to 2003, was there to cover the festival. Daly stated, "It started off great, TRL live from the side of main stage interviewing all the bands (like Jay from Jamiroquai)". He "started getting pelted with bottles, rocks, lighters, all of it. It got insane, fast. Nightfall, Limp plays 'Break Stuff' & the prisoners were officially running the prison". While inside the production van, Daly said, "I remember being in a production van driving recklessly through corn fields to get to safety. It was so crazy & a blur now. I just remember feeling like I was in another country during military conflict," during which he thought at some point he was "going to die".[5]
