If you love pineapples and (wrongly) consider pineapples on pizza not a crime punishable by death (like the writer of this article) but the best pizza ever, we have bad news.。

Organisers at this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals are implementing a total ban on pineapples, and they're serious about it. 。

On the festival's website, you can see the tropical fruit appearing alongside forbidden items such as fireworks and weapons. It's just as dangerous, apparently, but there's a reason behind the ban.。

The band's drummer Joe Seaward encouraged fans to sneak in the fruit:。

"Anyone who wasn't bringing a pineapple definitely is now," he said."It's fruitist. Watermelons are fine, but not pineapples?" 。

A spokesman for Reading and Leeds Festivals said: "Organisers were a little concerned about hundreds of pineapples turning up on site so decided to ask fans not to bring them along."。
