Massive Labor Day rock festival crowds at Bull Island
About 304,000 young people crowded into Bull Island on the Wabash River for a Labor Day weekend rock festival. The scene was informal with no visible police, while attendees streamed in at a pace of 1,280 per hour and crowds traded food and drinks. Performers included Canned Heat and Black Oak Arkansas. A dozen nude mockeries drew about 50 onlookers. Fifteen treated at Evansville hospital, two admitted. Promoters face contempt citations over permits.
