Evian Christ is one of the many artists performing at Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend. The producer's set at the latter fast went off without a hitch – but as Gawker reports, things went downhill after that, after festival security guards mistook him for a VIP crasher. As a result, Christ was locked in a security holding pen for an unspecified amount of time.
As Christ explained on Twitter,

The official Reading/Leeds Twitter has yet to respond.
Watch Evian Christ perform at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival, during which he was not locked in a cage:
