Gianpiero Celino's 16-year-old son, David, died after taking ecstasy at Leeds Festival in 2022.
BBC News
Following an inquest a coroner called on event organisers, police and the government to improve safety. "It really shouldn't have taken David's death to get this sort of reaction from the organisers," he said. Mr Celino said the timing of the event, the day after GCSE results are released, and the fact under 18s cannot legally buy or bring in alcohol made them "an easy target" for drug dealers.
Leeds Festival, which takes place from Friday to Sunday, marks a year since David's death and Mr Celino said his family would be "worrying about whether anybody else will experience what we experienced".
