Protesters Try To Disrupt U2's Glastonbury Set
Tax demonstration breaks out during show...
A demonstration against U2 almost disrupted the Irish band's Glastonbury set last night (June 24).
Anti-capitalist group Art Uncut began inflating a 20-foot balloon featuring the message "U Pay Your Tax 2" as the band began their headlining set.
The group accuses U2 of moving their money out of cash-strapped Ireland to the Netherlands to avoid paying tax.
The balloon was wrestled to the ground, while a scuffle broke out among around 30 people.
