THIS is the shocking moment a reveller climbed on top of a massive speaker tower at Reading Festival and performed dangerous stunts for fellow festival goers, sparking fears for his safety.
The person, understood to be a teenage boy, climbed to the top of the enormous structure during Eminem's live performance at tonight's event.
Security staff were drafted to the scene and positioned themselves at the bottom of the structure, thought to be around 10m high.
