Travis have criticised Beyoncé and her team for shutting off much of the backstage area at this year's V Festival.

The 'Grown Woman' star was headlining the event, which took place at the weekend (August 17/18) in Chelmsford and Staffordshire.

Scottish act Travis were also performing at the festival and they told the Daily Record that Beyoncé's demands ultimately turned the backstage space into what seemed like a "nuclear disaster". Singer Fran Healy said:

"Beyoncé locked down the entire backstage area for an hour. Everyone was affected. You’d ask ‘Can I just go there?’ and they’d say ‘No. You can’t cross this little street’. Everyone was just following orders from the gang."

He added: "I guess that’s how Americans do it but it’s not how we do it in the UK. She was headlining the main stage and was half an hour late. The whole area was cut off as if there had been a nuclear disaster.”
