British pop-rock group The 1975’s recent onstage outburst which led to the cancellation of a music festival in Malaysia is just the latest in a string of incidents that have marred concerts all over the world in recent months.
Frontman Matty Healy’s tirade against the Malaysian government’s LGBTQ laws and policies, and subsequent same-sex kiss with bandmate Ross MacDonald at the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur on July 21, was roundly slammed as performative activism.
And it is not just the stars who are behaving badly. Fans, and sometimes concert promoters, have also been taken to task for putting a downer on what was supposed to be an enjoyable experience.
Fans taking selfies at Miranda Lambert concert
When eagle-eyed American country singer Miranda Lambert spotted fans taking a group photo while she was singing at her Las Vegas show on July 15, she stopped her performance to lash out at them.
In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, she is heard saying: “I’m gonna stop right here for a (second). These girls are worried about a selfie and not listening to the song, and it’s pissing me off a little bit.”
While some in the audience can be heard cheering, other fans walked out in protest. In the video, one fan can be heard saying: “Let’s go. C’mon. You don’t do that to fans.”
Bebe Rexha, Ava Max and Kelsea Ballerini get hit
American singer Bebe Rexha had to be rushed to the hospital after a man threw a phone at her during her New York concert in June. She was struck in the face near her eye, and her injuries required stitches. A 27-year-old man from New Jersey was arrested and charged with assault.
In Los Angeles that same month, fellow American pop singer Ava Max was slapped by a member of the audience who rushed onstage. She continued dancing as the offender was dragged away by security.
She later tweeted: “He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye. He’s never coming to a show again.”
In another incident in June, this time in Idaho, American country singer Kelsea Ballerini had to leave the stage after a fan threw a bracelet at her.
Ballerini later wrote on Instagram: “It hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me.”
She added that she walked offstage to calm down and ensure that the band, crew and crowd “all felt safe to continue”.
