Parents slam Caity Baser's explicit set at Youth Beatz festival
Parents have voiced their concerns following Caity Baser's performance at Youth Beatz, a free music festival in Dumfries, Scotland. During the event, aimed at youth aged 12 to 25, the 22-year-old singer posed an inappropriate question about intimacy to a crowd that included young children. The festival, which provided around 40,000 free tickets over two days, is the largest of its kind in Scotland and included popular acts such as Example and Vamps members. While Baser stated that festival organizers had advised her to maintain her routine, the council is currently reviewing several complaints from attendees.
