We’ve heard a lot of wild things people have done at music festivals. From outright sex on the dance floor to spraying breast milk on an unsuspecting crowd, some people take the freedom at music festivals a bit too seriously.

The unpopularity of the update later influenced Sonos CEO Patrick Spence t
