After the last concert ended on Friday evening, Karen Frantzen (18) and a friend from the Stavern Festival returned to the campsite. A man, who she said was in his twenties, joined the women and walked beside them.
– After a while, he mumbled something indistinct. What?, I asked, then he said, “Can I come to you?” Karen said to Dagbladet.
She and her friend looked at the man in horror.
– Then we see that he’s walking next to us and that he’s shaking, said Karen.
She says she got angry and shouted loudly “What is wrong with you?”. Then the man had to apologize, turn around and go back to the festival.

– Turn off
Karen estimates the man was around 25 and had a shaved head.
– We were completely pissed, so we couldn’t do anything but shout “What’s wrong with you”. But we should have called someone else to stop him, Karen thought now in retrospect.
The Stavern Festival in Vestfold and Telemark brought together around 60,000 festival-goers this year and attempted names such as Kygo, Postgirobygget, Dagny, Karpe and Tiësto.
Fortunately, neither Karen nor her friend were scared by the incident.

On Saturday, Karen reported the naked episode to festival security.
– I thought about reporting it to the police too, but I learned that they weren’t open until Monday, she said.
