U2 headlining at Britain's Glastonbury festival

U2 headlining at Britain's Glastonbury festival is set between angry protesters and security staff after outbreaks of violence had marred.

Campaigners from anti-capitalist art group Uncut Music Festival in England on Friday in his native Ireland, is accused of tax evasion and Bono at night 'rockers flocked to set.

As the frontman and his bandmates take the stage, members of Art Uncut message "U Pay Your Tax 2" with a 20-foot inflated balloon.

But before he can release at this crowd, a team of 10 guards wrestled him to the ground and the balloon deflated.

Glastonbury bosses have distanced themselves from the scenes, with a spokesperson telling NME.com, "The stewards decided to stop the banner going up, but it was their decision and not under instruction from organizers. They clearly decided the banner could be dangerous and could disrupt people's view. It was a decision taken on the grounds of health and safety, not on the grounds of censorship."

Activist Steve Taylor has hit back, insisting, "The intervention was totally out of order. We were assured by Glastonbury in advance that there would not be an intervention."
